Foot & Ankle Center of Florida

What Foot & Ankle Center of Florida does

Foot & Ankle Center of Florida LLC is a private, founder-owned podiatric medical practice founded in 2018 and headquartered at 2400 Harbor Blvd., Suite 11, Port Charlotte, Florida. The practice delivers comprehensive foot and ankle care to both adult and pediatric patients, spanning conservative treatments (sports medicine, diabetic foot care, routine foot care, wound care) and surgical interventions ranging from minimally invasive bunion correction to complex reconstructions including metatarsophalangeal joint (MPJ) implants, ankle joint replacement, hammer toe correction, and limb salvage. Patient services are delivered across multiple settings: the primary office, three affiliated hospitals (HCA Fawcett Memorial Hospital, Shorepoint Port Charlotte, and Shorepoint Punta Gorda), local surgery centers, and home visits.

The clinical capability set is anchored by founder and CEO Dr. Frank Louis Lepore (DPM, MBA), whose training includes a primary podiatric medical residency and podiatric surgical residency at Wyckoff Heights Medical Center (an academic affiliate of Weill Cornell Medical College) and an AO/ASIF Orthopedic fellowship in foot and ankle trauma and rear foot reconstruction from Dresden, Germany. He previously served as Health Officer for the Florida Department of Health in Charlotte County, appointed by Governor Rick Scott. The practice leverages third-party medical technologies, including Arthrex minimally invasive surgical platforms, Remy laser therapy devices, DePuy Synthes orthopedic implants, and Kerecis fish skin grafts for advanced wound care, including hyperbaric oxygen therapy and skin substitute applications.

The business model is fee-for-service medical practice revenue, accepting most insurance plans on a per-visit basis and offering a Concierge Plan for patients seeking services outside standard coverage. The practice employs between 1 and 10 staff and operates with single-office physical presence in Charlotte County. Patient acquisition is conducted through direct phone scheduling, the CureMD patient portal, organic social media presence (Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram, Yelp), a Google Reviews solicitation program, an educational video library, and downloadable patient intake forms. Practice operations are otherwise characterized by private ownership with no evidence of external investment, parent company affiliation, or institutional backing.
