Andrew Cook
I have been a long term resident on the Mornington Peninsula, enjoying everything this amazing place has to offer away from the clinic. I love to ride and walk on the amazing network of trails and roads we have to explore across the Peninsula. Having four active teenage kids its fairly easy to keep busy evenings and weekends with community sport -Footy , Netball , Mountain Biking and Surf Lifesaving commitments at Mount Martha. Starting Peninsula Foot Clinic in 1995 after training Podiatry at La Trobe University, my passion in the Clinic is to provide solutions to keep you active whatever your personal goals are!

I grew up on the Mornington Peninsula, studied Podiatry at La Trobe University and after living overseas for a few years, it was an easy decision to return to the place I love. I spend almost every weekend walking my dog along the many beautiful beaches, and checking out all the great wineries and restaurants the Peninsula has to offer. I love travelling overseas and am always planning my next adventure. I have worked at Peninsula Foot clinic for well over a decade now, after working for the National Health Service in the UK for 4 years. I consult at our Rosebud and Somerville clinics .

When I’m not at work I can generally be found somewhere fishing or hiking and enjoying the outdoors with my family.
