Giardina & Glubo

What Giardina & Glubo does

Giardina & Glubo, D.P.M., P.A. is a private multi-physician podiatric medical practice headquartered in the Baltimore, Maryland metropolitan area, in continuous operation since 1977. The practice delivers comprehensive medical and surgical care for the foot and ankle, spanning diabetic foot and wound care, sports medicine, reconstructive surgery, and routine podiatric services. It treats a patient base that includes at-risk diabetic patients, athletes, and the general adult population across the Baltimore metro.

The practice operates four clinical offices throughout the Baltimore area plus an Advanced Wound Care center at Ascension Saint Agnes Hospital, providing multi-site access for patients and embedded referral relationships with the hospital system. It deploys several in-office advanced technologies: the GenesisPlus Nd:YAG laser for fungal nail treatment, CASCADE platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy, diagnostic ultrasound, custom-molded orthotics, and a structured advanced wound care program. As of mid-2025, the active clinical team consists of five physicians — Drs. Gersh, Tolley, Dove, and Gerstenblith, with Dr. Ali Mumtaz joining on June 9, 2025, to backfill the retirement of co-founder Dr. Vito N. Giardina after 48 years.

The business model is a traditional fee-for-service medical practice: revenue is generated through professional services billed primarily to commercial insurance, Medicare, and Medicaid, supplemented by hospital-based wound care reimbursement under the Saint Agnes partnership. Customer acquisition is driven by PCP and specialist referrals, repeat patient relationships built over the practice's multi-decade history, and the embedded hospital wound care channel. The practice does not disclose revenue publicly, has no external funding, and is not a candidate for technology-led disruption given its service nature.
