About Family Podiatry
A Physician-Led Podiatry Practice Built to Close Gaps in Specialty Care
Family Podiatry of Central Florida was founded in 2007 to address a persistent gap in specialty foot and ankle care, particularly for patients transitioning between hospitals, skilled nursing facilities, assisted living communities, and outpatient settings. Traditional podiatry models often rely on referrals and fragmented coverage. We take a different approach. Our board-certified podiatric surgeons maintain clinical ownership across the full care journey, providing inpatient consults and surgical care within hospital systems, scheduled on-site coverage in post-acute facilities, and coordinated outpatient follow-up through our multi-provider clinic.
- Physician-led podiatric care across hospital, facility, and outpatient settings
- Scheduled, embedded specialty coverage within skilled nursing and assisted living facilities.
- Continuity and accountability for high-risk foot, ankle, and wound conditions
