Centre du Pied et de la Cheville de la Côte

What Centre du Pied et de la Cheville de la Côte does

Centre du Pied et de la Cheville de la Côte SA is a Swiss specialized orthopedic medical center founded in August 2023 and headquartered within Clinique de Genolier (Bureau 144, Route du Muids 3, 1272 Genolier), strategically positioned between Lausanne and Geneva. The center delivers consultations, diagnosis, and surgical and non-surgical treatment for the full spectrum of foot, ankle, and leg pathologies, including hallux valgus, hallux rigidus, arthritis, Morton's neuroma, metatarsalgia, toe deformities, plantar fasciitis, flat feet, ankle sprains, Achilles tendon conditions, tendinitis, and fractures of the tibia and fibula. It is staffed by two fellowship-trained orthopedic surgeons (Dr Lisca Drittenbass, President of the Swiss Foot and Ankle Society, and Dr Filippo Pierobon, trained under Dr Maestro in Monaco) and two specialized wound-care nurses.

The underlying technology base consists of modern clinical facilities equipped with contemporary orthopedic surgical equipment housed within Clinique de Genolier's infrastructure; the center does not develop proprietary software, AI/ML systems, or digital health platforms. The business model is professional-services based: revenue is generated per consultation and procedure, with the center handling Swiss health insurance (LAMal) and accident insurance administration on behalf of patients. The go-to-market is direct and sales-led, relying on referrals through the Clinique de Genolier ecosystem and the adjacent Genolier Innovation Hub network, complemented by a content website (piedchevillelacote.ch) and a LinkedIn corporate presence. Distribution is exclusively regional, serving the Romandie/Lake Geneva area, with an additional 2025 cross-location arrangement allowing Dr Drittenbass to also practice at Centre Assal (Hirslanden-La Colline, Geneva).

The company operates as a privately held Swiss société anonyme with no disclosed external funding, no parent company, and no public ticker. As of the input data, it has no subsidiaries, no patents or trademarks, no awards, no regulatory actions, and no disclosed revenue, placing it as a single-site, four-person specialty practice whose economic profile is tied directly to surgeon utilization and the patient flow of its host clinic.
