James H. Beard, B.A., D.Ch.
Registered Chiropodist

James is the "Beard" in Beard & Webster Foot Care & Orthotics. Originally from Toronto, he is an experienced practitioner, working previously at the Ajax Foot Care & Orthotics Clinic, which he continues to own. Today, he practices full time at the Lindsay Rehab Health Centre Foot Clinic.

James is an active Chiropodist both in the clinic and outside.

James is known by patients and co-workers to be warm and outgoing. He is passionate about the well being of his patients. He's an avid cook, enjoys the outdoors immensely, and, among his co-workers and friends, he is also regarded (perhaps even a little feared) as quite an accomplished practical joker.

Angela Corneil
Chiropody Assistant

As a part-time chiropody assistant at Beard & Webster, Angela supports the chiropodists during patient care. Working primarily at the Bobcaygeon office, she also supports the chiropodists at Specialty Care Case Manor, where Beard & Webster is the exclusive provider of chiropody services.

Born and raised in Little Britain, Angela now calls Bobcaygeon home, where she is a doting mom of two girls. Her background includes education in both advertising and medical administration. Her work experience is varied, including tenures in radio, print, retail and merchandising management, and long-term health care.

Her hobbies include scrapbooking, cooking, fitness, running, boating, gardening, reading, and anything domestic.

Peter G. Greaves, D.Ch.
Registered Chiropodist

Peter is the newest Chiropodist on the Beard & Webster team, although he is a highly experienced practitioner with more than ten years of experience. Peter graduated and founded "Foot Care in the Beach" in Toronto in 1997. Like James Beard and Nadine Webster, his experience also includes work as an instructor for the Ontario Chiropody Programme, specifically in the area of diagnostics.

In addition to his Chiropody credentials, Peter's education includes four years in the exercise science department at Lake Superior State University at Sault Ste Marie, Michigan. It was here that he first pursued his passion for biomechanics, which he carries forward today into his Chiropody career to the great benefit of his patients and as a valued asset to the Beard & Webster team. Peter holds particular interest and experience in sports podiatric medicine and podiatric physiotherapy.

Born and raised in Sault Ste Marie, Ontario, Peter has relocated to the Kawarthas from Toronto with his partner, Sarah, returning once again to a smaller-town lifestyle. He is a film buff, likes to cook, enjoys the occasional bike ride, and is a strong supporter of many pedestrianization movements to promote physical activity and reduce traffic congestion in urban centres.

David J. Murphy, R.M.T., D.Ch.
Registered Chiropodist

He works in the Bobcaygeon Foot Care Clinic and in Bridgenorth at the Chemong Foot Care Clinic. David also provides on-site care at the Curve Lake and Hiawatha First Nations communities. His enthusiasm for his work and his patients is a quality of his personality immediately recognizable on meeting him.

David graduated from the Chiropody Program in 2003. He has a special interest in diabetic foot care. It is interesting to note that David is also a Registered Massage Therapist. He practices on a part-time basis to maintain his registration, but he also finds it extremely useful in how it accentuates his full body perspective in the practice of Chiropody.

Striving always to continuously improve his practical abilities, David holds post-graduate accreditation in a number of courses including advanced biomechanics, sports medicine, and behavioural medicine. He enjoys staying fit and is active in sports such as soccer and hockey. Like all members of the team, he has a love for the rural cottage lifestyle in the region and looks forward to raising his family here.

What makes the
Beard & Webster Foot Care & Orthotics team special?

Above all it is our shared passion for excellence in everything we do that makes our team special. We also believe that our strengths as a team reside in four key areas of excellence outlined below.

Training: As Registered Chiropodists, Beard & Webster Foot Care & Orthotics practitioners are highly trained foot medical specialists. In fact, Members of the College of Chiropodists of Ontario are the only health professionals trained and regulated exclusively to practice foot medicine in Ontario. All members of the Beard & Webster team regularly attend post-graduate education courses to keep their knowledge and skills on the leading edge of foot health.

Expertise: Like all Chiropodists, our practitioners are highly capable in a wide range of treatments and techniques. They are trained to recognize different types of foot problems and apply the most appropriate treatment, or combination of treatments, to better address underlying problems as well as the symptoms.

Experience: With a longstanding presence in the area, we are uniquely experienced to understand the people in the community and the types of foot health problems and issues they most commonly face. Our Chiropodists' complementary interests — personally and professionally — make for a well-rounded team whose combined strengths and experience are a powerful asset in their patients' foot health.

Caring: This is an intangible asset that cannot be taught. Our practitioners and staff care about our patients and the impact foot health has on their overall health and lifestyle. Caring is what connects the Beard & Webster Foot Care & Orthotics team with each other, their patients, and the community.
