Ankle & Foot Clinic of Orange County

What Ankle & Foot Clinic of Orange County does

Ankle & Foot Clinic of Orange County is a private podiatry practice operating two clinical locations in Laguna Beach and Laguna Hills, California. Founded in 1981 and acquired by Dr. Marcus Yetter in 2019, the practice delivers comprehensive medical and surgical care for foot and ankle conditions including bunions, plantar fasciitis, hammertoes, diabetic foot care, fractures, ankle sprains, ingrown toenails, and Achilles tendinitis. The clinic also offers the PinPointe FootLaser, an FDA-cleared patented device used to treat toenail fungus in a single outpatient session.

The business operates a direct-to-consumer model, accepting Medicare and most major insurance plans for medical services while offering cash-pay laser fungus treatment (reimbursable via HSA/FSA) and custom orthotics and diabetic footwear as ancillary revenue streams. Marketing is conducted through an educational blog, YouTube videos, Facebook and Instagram profiles, and online appointment booking via the practice website and PatientFusion.

The practice is independently owned and operated by Dr. Yetter with no external investment, no parent company, and no disclosed funding rounds. Headcount is reported at 1-10 employees, indicating a small, physician-led operation with no evidence of scaling initiatives beyond organic digital marketing and bilingual (English/Spanish) patient outreach in the Orange County market.

Regional players

• Rothman Orthopaedic Institute: Large multi-location orthopedic group with dedicated foot & ankle specialists, primarily on the East Coast. Comparable because it provides overlapping foot and ankle surgical care within a multi-specialty orthopedic practice model, though in a different region.
