Foot Health Center

What Foot Health Center does

Foot Health Center, L.L.C. is a privately held podiatric medical practice headquartered at 1500 Pleasant Valley Way, West Orange, New Jersey. Founded by Dr. Michael V. Verdi, a board-certified podiatric surgeon since 1998, the practice has operated continuously for over 25 years and now employs five podiatric surgeons (four with FACFAS designations), with a total staff of 11-50. The group serves a broad patient demographic — pediatric, adult, diabetic, and athletic — from a single location, delivering a full continuum of foot and ankle care from conservative treatment through surgical intervention.

The practice's core service offering is vertically integrated: on-site diagnostics (X-ray imaging, EPF), conservative therapies (physical therapy, custom orthotics, EPAT/Extracorporeal Pulse Activation Technology, Cutera Genesis Plus Fungal Nail Laser), and surgical procedures performed both in-office and at affiliated hospitals. Device-based services (EPAT and the Cutera Genesis Plus laser) represent differentiated equipment investments relative to a plain podiatry clinic and enable premium-priced procedures. The practice participates in the Medicare Diabetic Shoe Program and accepts all major insurance plans including Aetna, supporting broad patient access.

The business model is a direct-to-consumer, fee-for-service medical practice. Revenue is generated through office consultations, procedural fees (including EPAT and laser treatments), custom orthotic dispensing, and surgical case revenue — both in-office and hospital-based. Patient experience is supported through a Doctible-integrated communication and review platform, InstaMed payment processing, and an online patient portal. The practice's growth signals are incremental: physician additions (notably Dr. Patricia Berran in July 2021), payer mix expansion, and device-based service additions, rather than multi-site expansion or external capital deployment.
