Dr. Patrick Agnew joins me for a deep dive into paediatric podiatry and the complexities of treating connective tissue disorders like Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome.

With over 30 years in practice, Dr. Agnew shares how his early mentorship under Dr. James Ganley shaped his path, and why he believes more podiatrists should embrace niche work, especially with children.

"You don't need 90% of your work to be niche—15% can change your career."

Today, Dr. Agnew is on the board of the American College of Foot and Ankle Pediatrics. He continues to write, speak, and advocate for greater understanding in this often-overlooked niche. According to Patrick, pediatric podiatry is an area many practitioners fear unnecessarily; mainly because the stakes seem higher and the data is often sparse.

That fear is valid. But Patrick encourages curiosity over fear. "There's no competition," he says. In fact, many podiatrists shy away from treating children because of perceived risks, parent pressure, or financial concerns. But for Patrick, those young patients are the most rewarding part of his work.
