Advanced Foot & Ankle Centers

What Advanced Foot & Ankle Centers does

Advanced Foot & Ankle Centers is a privately held, multi-location podiatric medical practice founded in 2001 by Dr. Arthur R. Jeynes and headquartered in Cadillac, Michigan. The practice operates three office locations across Cadillac, Traverse City, and Manistee in northern Michigan and is staffed by four board-certified podiatrists (Drs. Jeynes, Krannitz, Rialson, and Dobrzelewski) and one physician assistant (Abby Miller). It delivers comprehensive foot and ankle care across more than 20 clinical conditions, including bunions, heel pain, plantar fasciitis, hammertoes, sports injuries, ankle sprains, arthritic foot and ankle care, crush injuries, neuromas, and ingrown toenails, alongside higher-acuity services such as total ankle replacement, arthroscopic surgery, reconstructive lower extremity surgery, lower extremity wound care, and diabetic foot care and limb salvage including Charcot neuroarthropathy management.

The practice's clinical technology stack is rooted in conventional podiatric medicine, with differentiators concentrated in advanced surgical techniques (arthroscopy, total ankle replacement, reconstructive procedures) and specialty training in limb salvage and diabetic wound care. It uses Officite as its digital marketing/website platform and runs an active patient-education blog alongside SEO-optimized location pages for organic patient acquisition. There is no disclosed use of AI/ML, no proprietary software platform, and no API or app product.

The business model is a traditional professional-services, fee-for-service medical practice. Revenue is generated through insurance reimbursements and direct patient payments for consultations, in-office procedures, and surgical interventions. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; the practice accepts multiple insurance carriers plus Visa, MasterCard, and Discover. New patients are acquired via the practice website, local SEO, content marketing, and direct appointment calls, with same-day appointments offered subject to availability. Ownership is concentrated with the founding physician(s), with no disclosed external investment, no parent company, no funding rounds, no M&A activity, and no partnerships or affiliations beyond standard professional memberships in the American College of Foot and Ankle Surgeons, the American Podiatric Medical Association, and the Michigan Podiatric Medical Association.
