MARYLAND FOOT AND ANKLE SPECIALISTS

What MARYLAND FOOT AND ANKLE SPECIALISTS does

Maryland Foot and Ankle Specialists is a privately held, founder-owned podiatric medical practice operating from two locations in Eldersburg, Maryland (headquarters) and Shrewsbury, Pennsylvania. The practice is staffed by three clinical providers — Dr. Justin Lewis (DPM, FACFAS), Dr. Tania Burinskas (DPM), and Delores Turner-Brock (CRNP) — supported by approximately two additional staff, for a total headcount of roughly five. Its Eldersburg facility includes an on-site ambulatory surgery center with a board-certified anesthesiologist, and the practice holds hospital privileges at Carroll Hospital (Westminster, MD) and UPMC Memorial Hospital (York, PA) for higher-acuity surgical cases including limb salvage.

The practice delivers care across four service lines: foot and ankle surgery, sports medicine, limb salvage and wound care, and orthobiologics. Its most differentiated offering is the proprietary RapidFix Bunion Correction™ procedure developed by Dr. Lewis, which uses a nitinol staple with shape-memory alloy technology to enable minimal incisions, minimal hardware, and immediate post-operative ambulation. The practice also positions itself as a national authority in orthobiologics (stem cell therapy, PRP, BioCartilage, bone grafting, amnion injections) and counts Dr. Lewis among only 10 surgeons in Maryland designated as a Master Surgeon in the InternalBrace ankle ligament repair procedure.

The business operates on a fee-for-service professional services model, billing patients directly for consultations, diagnostics, surgical interventions, and follow-up care across both office and hospital-based settings. Patient acquisition is driven by direct practice outreach, physician reputation, social media presence, content marketing, patient testimonials, and Dr. Lewis's national speaking engagements as an Arthrex faculty instructor. The practice is bootstrapped with no disclosed external equity or debt funding, and ownership is concentrated with its two founding physicians.

Direct peers

• Podiatry Associates: Multi-location podiatry group serving the DC/Maryland/Virginia region. Closest direct peer in terms of size, geography, and podiatric service mix including surgery, sports medicine, and diabetic foot care.
• Family Foot and Ankle Center of Maryland: Independent podiatry practice operating in the Maryland area with comparable services including foot and ankle surgery, sports medicine, and wound care. Direct head-to-head competitor for patients in the Maryland corridor.
• Anne Arundel Foot & Ankle: Maryland-based podiatry practice offering a comparable mix of conservative care, surgery, orthotics, and diabetic foot care. Competes for similar patient demographics in the greater Maryland region.

Emerging players

• Healogics: Specialized wound care and limb salvage provider operating hospital-based wound care centers. Directly comparable to the practice's limb salvage and wound care service line, particularly through the Carroll Hospital Wound Care Center partnership.

Others

• Arthrex: Medical device manufacturer whose products (including the nitinol staple and InternalBrace system) are central to the practice's signature procedures. Dr. Lewis is a faculty instructor for Arthrex, making it both a supplier and a strategic partner rather than a direct competitor.

Broad incumbents

• Rothman Orthopaedic Institute: Large multi-specialty orthopaedic group with foot and ankle surgeons. Comparable on the surgical and sports medicine side but at substantially greater scale and across more geographies.
• Johns Hopkins Medicine: Major academic health system with a foot and ankle division and a performing arts therapy program (a referral partner of this practice). Represents the dominant competitor for complex and insured patients in the Baltimore region.
• Weil Foot & Ankle Institute: Large multi-state podiatry group practice with a similar comprehensive service offering (surgery, orthotics, diabetic care) but materially greater scale, brand recognition, and geographic reach than Maryland Foot and Ankle Specialists.
• MedStar Health Foot & Ankle: Foot and ankle service line within a major regional health system operating in the same Maryland geography. Competes with employed specialist model and integrated payor relationships; relevant for referral and market share dynamics.

Regional players

• Foot and Ankle Wellness Center: Mid-Atlantic podiatry practice offering a comparable foot and ankle service line. Operates in a similar regional corridor with overlapping patient demographic but a different geographic center of gravity.
