Sports Medicine Institute

What Sports Medicine Institute does

Sports Medicine Institute is a private, physician-owned orthopedic and sports medicine practice founded in 2015 and headquartered in a single clinic at 2020 Oakley Seaver Drive, Clermont, Florida. The practice was established by Dr. David Feiner, Dr. Kevin Nowicki, and Dr. Benjamin Miller and delivers specialized sports medicine, joint replacement, hand and upper extremity surgery, trauma and joint reconstruction, foot and ankle surgery, and regenerative medicine (platelet-rich plasma and stem cell therapy) to athletes and general orthopedic patients across Lake County and surrounding Central Florida cities including Leesburg, Tavares, Orlando, Clermont, Minneola, Montverde, and Groveland. The clinical team also includes Dr. Philip Calaj (DPM), physician assistant Jared Battistoni, and Dr. Jason Wilt (joining January 2026), providing bilingual service in English, Portuguese, and Spanish.

Operationally, the practice functions as a fee-for-service medical group reimbursed primarily through major health insurance plans, with same-day and emergency appointment availability and care delivered exclusively in-person at its Clermont clinic. Service capability is anchored by minimally invasive arthroscopic procedures for the knee, shoulder, and hip; advanced trauma and joint reconstruction; specialized hand, wrist, and foot/ankle surgery including pediatric podiatry; and regenerative therapies such as PRP and stem cell treatment that are not universally offered by peer practices. Go-to-market is largely sales-led and community-led, driven by the practice website, phone-based scheduling, the MyHealthRecord patient portal and Xpress Pay online bill payment, volunteer team physician coverage for local high school sports teams, and referral relationships with family practice and internal medicine physicians; no paid advertising, telehealth channel, or satellite locations are evidenced.
