What Dr. Walter Perez & Associates does

Dr. Walter Perez & Associates (legal entity: Advanced Walk-In Foot Care PLLC) is a private, founder-owned podiatry practice operating in the New York City metropolitan area since approximately 2004. The firm delivers comprehensive foot and ankle medical care to a horizontal patient base spanning children, adults, and the elderly, with a particular emphasis on diabetic foot care, sports injuries, and routine podiatric services. It operates across four clinical sites: two in Brooklyn (Flatbush and Bushwick), one in Queens (Rego Park), and one in Long Island (Franklin Square), supported by two DPM-credentialed physicians — Dr. Walter H. Perez and Dr. Lisa M. Wedderburn — each with 17–18 years of clinical experience and hospital privileges at Jamaica Hospital Medical Center and Kingsbrook Jewish Medical Center.

The practice's core technology stack comprises standard in-office diagnostic capabilities (X-ray, ultrasound, PADNET vascular studies, and neurological testing), custom orthotics fabrication, minor surgical procedures, and an integrated sales channel for diabetic and orthopedic footwear and inserts. Marketing and patient acquisition rely on a content-rich practice website with SEO-oriented patient education articles, online appointment scheduling, and participation in a wide network of insurance plans (including Medicare, 1199 Fidelis, Empire BC/BS, Oxford, United Health Care, and Cigna) that drive referral-based patient flow.

Revenue is generated through two streams: professional services reimbursement from office visits (predominantly insurance-paid) and direct hardware sales of diabetic shoes, inserts, and custom orthotics. The practice operates on a direct-to-consumer model with walk-in availability and scheduled appointments, and the Queens office additionally supports English, Spanish, Russian, and Georgian to serve the borough's diverse population. The business is bootstrapped and private, with no disclosed external funding, M&A activity, or institutional ownership; control rests with Dr. Walter H. Perez as principal practitioner.

Broad incumbents

• US Foot & Ankle Specialists: Large PE-backed podiatry platform aggregating practices across multiple U.S. markets.
