FOOT & ANKLE SPECIALISTS OF CENTRAL OHIO, LLC

What FOOT & ANKLE SPECIALISTS OF CENTRAL OHIO, LLC does

Foot & Ankle Specialists of Central Ohio, LLC (FASCO) is a physician-owned podiatry practice operating six clinic locations across the Columbus, Ohio metropolitan area (Gahanna, Westerville, Lancaster, Newark, Reynoldsburg, and Pickerington). The practice delivers a comprehensive suite of podiatric medical and surgical services organized into seven clinical lines: geriatric foot care, diabetic foot care, wound care, custom foot orthotics, emergency care, foot and ankle surgery (including Lapiplasty 3D bunion correction, total ankle replacement, and Charcot reconstruction), and sports medicine. Care is delivered by 11 board-certified or board-qualified podiatric physicians and surgeons, supported by 22 total employees, with surgical and admitting privileges at four regional hospital systems (Grant Medical Center, Mount Carmel East, Licking Memorial Hospital, Fairfield Medical Center).

The underlying service platform is clinical rather than technological: differentiation rests on procedural expertise (notably Lapiplasty 3D Bunion Correction, arthroscopic surgery, and limb salvage), an ACFAS-recognized Foot & Ankle Surgery Fellowship Program that trains one podiatric surgeon per year, and teaching affiliations that double as recruiting channels. Operational technology is commodity SaaS: Treatspace powers the patient portal, online scheduling, and text communications, and Google Maps provides location and directions. There is no proprietary software, no AI/ML capability, and no data flywheel disclosed in available materials.

FASCO operates a traditional professional services revenue model on an insurance-billed, per-visit basis with a diversified payer mix (Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Medical Mutual, Medicare, Ohio Healthy, UnitedHealthcare). The go-to-market is sales-led and local: community reputation, physician referrals, Google My Business reviews (1,012 verified, 4.9/5 average), and a website with online appointment request drive patient acquisition. Same-day and next-day urgent appointment availability is a stated operational differentiator. Revenue is not publicly disclosed.

Scale indicators4 records

Recent moves5 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• ATI Physical Therapy: National outpatient physical therapy and musculoskeletal care provider; adjacent peer given overlap on sports medicine, post-surgical rehab, and orthopedic injury treatment that FASCO's sports medicine service line also addresses.
• Hanger Clinic: National orthotic and prosthetic provider with clinical care locations across the US; comparable for FASCO's custom foot orthotics service line, though Hanger operates at much broader scale across O&P categories.

Others

• American College of Foot and Ankle Surgeons (ACFAS): Professional society that accredits FASCO's fellowship program and certifies its surgeons; adjacent as the governing/credentialing body that defines the specialty practice standards FASCO operates within.
• Treace Medical Concepts: Medical device company behind the Lapiplasty 3D Bunion Correction system that FASCO uses; relevant adjacent peer because the technology vendor and the practice are commercially linked and the device shapes FASCO's surgical offering.

Regional players

• OrthoCarolina: Large physician-owned orthopedic specialty group concentrated in the Carolinas; comparable as a multi-location orthopedic/podiatry-adjacent group practice with broad musculoskeletal service lines and regional brand presence.
• Foot & Ankle Associates (multi-state regional groups): Independent regional podiatry groups operating under similar "Foot & Ankle Associates" branding across the US; comparable as similarly structured multi-location podiatry practices competing for patients and referral physicians in their local markets.
• Reconstructive Orthopedics & Podiatry (midwest independent groups): Other mid-sized independent podiatry and orthopedic groups operating single-state multi-location footprints — comparable as regional specialty-practice competitors in their respective geographies.

Direct peers

• US Foot & Ankle Specialists: PE-backed multi-location podiatry rollup operating affiliated practices across multiple US states; the most direct peer for FASCO given shared model of multi-specialty podiatric and surgical care delivered through regional practice networks.
• Pacesetter Health: Podiatry and orthopedic practice platform with an Ohio regional organization (co-led by FASCO's Dr. Timothy Holmes); comparable as a multi-provider, multi-location podiatry platform actively consolidating independent practices.

Emerging players

• Healogics: Largest US provider of wound care services, including diabetic wound management and limb salvage; overlaps meaningfully with FASCO's wound care and diabetic foot care service lines, though operating primarily through hospital outpatient partnerships.
