Dr. Hamid Ravan Bod
Specialist Podiatrist in Foot & Ankle Surgery
Dr Ravanbod’s Perspective
“I have earned three doctoral degrees, two of which were conferred by Australian institutions. Through these experiences, I’ve learned that one should never hide behind a professional title. My studies were driven by a commitment to understanding and treating medical conditions effectively. True recognition, in my view, comes only after a condition has been successfully resolved — without causing harm.”

Why Doctorate in Podiatric Surgery Matters for Patients?
Dr Hamid Ravan Bod has spent many years working solely with the foot and ankle, giving him deep familiarity with:
- Their unique anatomy
- Their specialised soft‑tissue structures
- Their complex biomechanical behaviour
These features differ significantly from the rest of the body, and they require a clinician whose training is focused on this region alone.
Dr Ravan Bod’s background as a Specialist Podiatrist in Foot & Ankle Surgery ensures that every assessment, diagnosis, and surgical plan is grounded in advanced, foot‑specific knowledge — not generalised surgical principles.
Why a PhD in Rheumatoid Arthritis Matters for Patients?
Most foot discomfort originates from the joints, so understanding joint function and joint disease is essential for accurate diagnosis and holistic treatment. A PhD in Rheumatoid Arthritis provides deep insight into how systemic and inflammatory conditions affect the foot and ankle, allowing for more precise assessments and more comprehensive treatment planning. Although a PhD is not required for surgery, the advanced critical‑thinking and analytical skills developed through doctoral research strengthen every aspect of clinical decision‑making. Dr Hamid Ravan Bod’s commitment to achieving the highest levels of education reflects his dedication to delivering exceptional care, thoughtful treatment strategies, and consistently successful outcomes for his patients.
Why a Doctorate in Medicine Matters for Patients?
Although the medical knowledge required for foot and ankle surgery is thoroughly covered within the podiatric surgery program, Dr Hamid Ravan Bod has further demonstrated his commitment to advanced critical thinking by completing multiple degrees, including a seven‑year Doctorate in Medicine from a reputable overseas university. This extensive training strengthens his clinical reasoning and enhances the quality of care he provides. Dr Ravan Bod currently performs foot and ankle podiatric surgeries and does not practise as a general practitioner.
Why a Master in Holistic Medicine Matters for Patients?
Treating the foot and ankle in isolation is not always the most effective approach, as these structures interact closely with the entire skeleton and overall health. Through his Master in Holistic Medicine, Dr Hamid Ravan Bod is trained to evaluate foot and ankle conditions within the broader context of whole‑body function, identifying deeper connections between symptoms, posture, systemic health, and long‑term biomechanics. Although recognising these relationships is often difficult — and many clinicians overlook or dismiss them due to limited training — it is an essential skill to acknowledge possible interactions and address them scientifically. Dr Ravan Bod’s background in holistic medicine gives him both the knowledge and the clinical artistry to apply these principles in practice, ensuring treatment plans that are comprehensive, balanced, and protective of long‑term health.
Why a Master in Public Health Matters for Patients?
Modern healthcare requires far more than holding titles such as professor, orthopaedic surgeon, medical doctor, or specialist and expecting patients to accept every decision without question. Today’s patients are informed, discerning, and expect their practitioners to demonstrate real ability — to answer challenging questions, predict risks, interpret research correctly, and apply evidence in a way that leads to the best possible outcomes. Through his Master in Public Health, Dr Hamid Ravan Bod has gained the skills to uphold principles of equity, equality, and social justice while empowering patients with trustworthy, evidence‑based treatment options. He understands the limitations of research, knows how to translate complex medical information into clear guidance, and ensures patients can make confident, informed decisions. Smart patients no longer rely solely on industry‑accepted titles; they look for practitioners who can demonstrate depth, clarity, and genuine competence — qualities Dr Ravan Bod consistently brings to his practice.
Why a Master in General Podiatry Matters for Patients?
A highly skilled foot and ankle surgeon is defined not by lengthy titles, but by the depth of real‑world clinical experience — including learning from common complications and unresolved issues seen in everyday practice. Through his training and work as a general podiatrist, Dr Hamid Ravan Bod gained extensive exposure to routine foot problems, referred cases with complications after complex procedures, and the practical challenges that arise in long‑term patient care. General podiatry training also covers the anatomy, physiology, and pathology of diseases throughout the human body, along with their direct relationships to the foot and ankle, providing a comprehensive foundation for advanced surgical practice. This background allows him, now as a Specialist Podiatrist in Foot & Ankle Surgery, to anticipate and prevent avoidable issues during complex procedures. “A foot surgeon must be able to descend to the soles” is a principle Dr Ravan Bod has mastered, giving him a fundamental understanding of the foot and ankle at their most precise level. Because podiatry is the profession most deeply involved in foot and ankle biomechanics, this training ensures that every surgical plan he develops is grounded in accuracy, prevention, and long‑term functional success.
