Largest podiatry physician group practices

A physician group, much as the name suggests, forms when physicians band together to offer patients comprehensive care, improve coordination, and provide convenient access. Given the size and variety of the U.S. physician group market, it is often advantageous for those selling their healthcare product, software, or service to first segment the market by specialty and size.

Below, we’ve compiled a list of the largest podiatry physician group practices using PhysicianGroupView and the Atlas Dataset.

How many podiatry physician group practices are there in the U.S.?

The Definitive Healthcare database shows that there are 3,992 active podiatry physician group practices in the U.S. However, since it is common for a physician group to have their physicians spread across multiple locations, the number of clinics where these physicians work is likely higher.

Why target podiatry physician groups?

Physicians who work in podiatry practices often specialize in diagnosing and treating a wide range of conditions affecting the lower extremities. Their expertise encompasses various disorders, including injuries like fractures and sprains and chronic conditions such as diabetes-related foot issues.

Physicians in these practices collaborate with podiatrists to provide comprehensive care, ensuring that patients receive well-rounded treatment for conditions that may impact both general health and foot and ankle health. Podiatrists are healthcare providers who specialize in foot and ankle care, but they have a different educational path and scope of practice compared to physicians.

Both require the proper technology, equipment, and training to operate their clinics—if your company has an offering that can address these needs, this physician specialty may be a wise target. Furthermore, because physician groups often centralize their purchasing decisions, introducing your product or service to one location or physician can lead to significant contracts as you expand within the group.
