Wendy Sargent

Clinical Receptionist | Foot Health Practitioner Dip FH

Hi, I’m Wendy. I joined Woodley St Clinic in January 2023. I originally came as a patient with a painful toe and ended up joining the team!

I’m part of the Clinical Reception Team, where I greet patients, handle calls, arrange appointments, and offer advice where appropriate. I love being able to help people and perhaps even brighten their day a little. This is a fresh start for me, as I previously worked in catering for many years, which gave me the invaluable skill of multitasking.

The whole team and all the patients have been fantastic, making me feel so welcome in this new role. I love helping patients, and since I started looking at feet in a new light, I’ve been training for the last 18 months. I’ve recently qualified as a Clinical Foot Health Practitioner, and I’m continuing at the clinic in a dual role.

When I’m not working, I love chilling out with friends, chatting over coffee, watching something funny, and you can’t beat a cosy night in.

Heather Carr

Senior Clinical Receptionist

Hi, my name is Heather, I joined Woodley St Clinic in March 2023 having previously worked with Krishan & Rupali for 14 years at the previous practice.

I work as part of the Clinical Reception Team, greeting patients, taking calls and arranging appointments and managing diaries for all the practitioners.

Having worked in the Dental & Podiatry Field for many years I have been able to transfer my experience to Woodley St Clinic and its been lovely seeing all our old patients come to the new clinic.

The whole team and all the patients have been amazing and the existing patients love a familiar face!

When I am not working I love spending time with my grandchildren and my family and a good holiday or two!
