Sam Tapper

Podiatrist, Early Career Mentoring & Onboarding

Sam is a passionate podiatrist who cares about making sure everyone leaves the clinic with a clear plan for happier, healthier feet. Sam has a diverse range of interests and loves seeing people of all ages and backgrounds.

Having lived in remote Australia and small-town New Zealand, Sam has a strong appreciation for the unique challenges faced by rural patients. She enjoys working with and getting to know patients who travel to Perth for care and is committed to ensuring they feel supported and have access to the care they need.

Sam loves working with children and understands the importance of clear, compassionate communication. She recognises that appointments can feel daunting for young people, so she takes the time to help every child feel comfortable, heard, safe and supported. Sam works closely with both children and their parents to ensure everyone feels listened to, reassured and involved throughout their appointment.
