Colorado Foot and Ankle

What Colorado Foot and Ankle does

Colorado Foot and Ankle is a privately held, physician-owned podiatric medical practice headquartered in Colorado Springs, Colorado, with a second clinical location serving the Monument-to-Fountain corridor in Southern Colorado. The firm delivers comprehensive foot and ankle medical and surgical care across four use-case segments — diabetic foot care, pediatric podiatry, general adult conditions, and sports-medicine patients — through four board-certified or board-qualified podiatrists (Drs. Eric Gessner, Jacob Fassman, Joseph Dobbs, Adam Ferguson). Its service portfolio spans conservative treatments (orthotics, diabetic footwear, shockwave therapy), laser-based interventions (Cutera Xeo for onychomycosis, warts, scar reduction), office-based procedures, and reconstructive foot and ankle surgery including limb salvage and deformity correction.

The practice's underlying technology stack is built around standard diagnostic podiatric equipment augmented by a small set of specialty capital devices, principally the Cutera Xeo Laser System for fungal nail and wart treatment (cited efficacy of approximately 90% in onychomycosis cases) and Extra-Corporeal Shockwave Therapy for inflammatory tendinopathies such as plantar fasciitis and Achilles tendinitis. Patient-facing digital assets include a condition-indexed educational article library (active since 2017), Vimeo-hosted educational videos, online appointment requests, a downloadable self-pay form, and patient testimonials — supporting both local SEO-driven acquisition and patient education.

Colorado Foot and Ankle operates a direct-to-consumer, professional-services revenue model: it bills insurance for covered services and offers self-pay rates (e.g., $350 for a four-session shockwave package, with additional treatments at $100 each; a downloadable self-pay form is available for general services). Revenue is generated through patient consultations, diagnostics, in-office procedures, custom orthotic device dispensing, and surgical services. Distribution is purely local, with two physical clinics; the channel mix is split between walk-in/urgent and scheduled visits, with online appointment requests as the primary digital funnel. The firm has no disclosed external investors, parent company, or institutional funding, and is classified as an independent small business with 1–10 employees.
