Ben Stasiak
I started my professional career as a laboratory technician working in the department of pathology at the Royal Brisbane Hospital. Although I did enjoy my time there I always wanted a more clinical role and to deal directly with patients rather than being confined to a laboratory.
So it was in 2003 that I graduated from QUT with a Bachelor of Health Science (Podiatry) and started my life as a full time Podiatrist. Since then I have gained valuable experience in all facets of the profession. I pride myself on being friendly, thorough and efficient to provide the best possible service for you.Whether it is general foot care, diabetic screening or any lower limb aches and pains, all are welcome. I am able to achieve great results for lower limb complaints using customized orthotics inserts to address biomechanical abnormalities.
I also provide a more “hands on” approach when treating lower limb complaints through foot mobilization and manipulation therapy which I believe is a more complete treatment approach versus orthotic therapy solely. Being an active cyclist for the past 20 years (8 years competitively) I have developed a particular interest in cycling biomechanics and have great understanding from both a riders and a clinical point of view. Using specifically designed custom orthotics I have successfully treated many riders for common cycling problems (foot pain/numbness, knee, hip and lower back complaints) enabling them to ride pain free and more efficiently. I am always up for a challenge and welcome all new patients.

Ciara White
My name is Ciara White, and I am a podiatrist from Ireland, qualified since 2023. I completed my Podiatry degree at Ulster University Belfast, where I developed a strong foundation in evidence-based, patient-centred foot care.
I have experience working across private practice, aged care, and national healthcare settings, which has allowed me to support a wide range of patients with diverse foot health needs. I am passionate about helping people stay comfortable, mobile, and confident through personalised and compassionate care.
Outside of work, I enjoy playing basketball and running, and I value maintaining an active and healthy lifestyle.
I am looking forward to meeting and caring for all patients at First in Feet Podiatry.
Let us introduce
Abbas Banaei
My name is Abbas Banaei, and I am a podiatrist dedicated to understanding the biomechanics of the foot and body. My clinical work is grounded in detailed assessment, evidence‑based care, and a genuine commitment to improving mobility, comfort, and overall well‑being.
I approach podiatry with a holistic mindset, recognizing the body’s natural ability to restore balance and function. By combining medical knowledge with whole‑body awareness, I focus on identifying the root causes of discomfort and helping individuals move with greater ease and confidence.
To me, the human foot is extraordinary — a structure as vital as a second heart. Just as heart pain signals deeper concerns, foot discomfort often reflects underlying imbalances. With a comprehensive, detail‑oriented perspective and a deep understanding of clinical biomechanics, I am dedicated to diagnosing and treating foot‑related conditions with precision and care. Your well‑being remains at the center of my work.
Alongside my clinical practice, I carry a lifelong background in visual arts, including work as a graphic designer and filmmaker, as well as over 40 years of experience in martial arts across multiple styles. I also maintain a strong interest in spiritual art, which continues to shape my understanding of movement, balance, and human expression. I am fluent in English and Persian (Farsi)
