FL Podiatrist Honored for His "Extraordinary Impact"
Seven Jacksonville-area healthcare professionals who have made "extraordinary impact" were recently honored by WeCareJax, a volunteer network that provides free primary and specialty care for uninsured Duval County adults. The WeCareJax Caring Awards is a "celebration of compassion, collaboration, and community," according to the non-profit. "Each honoree embodies what it means to care for our uninsured neighbors with dignity and heart."

| MEETING NEWS | |
Podiatrists Featured at Regenerative Medicine Conference
International leaders in cellular and biologic medicine recently gathered in Miami for the American Academy of Stem Cell Physicians 2025 Conference, where cutting-edge applications of placental tissue, exosomes, and regenerative biologics were presented across multiple specialties. Among the featured sessions was a presentation by David T. Weiss, DPM, who focused on the use of placental tissue to enhance bone healing in complex foot and ankle fractures.
 |
|
Dr. David Weiss |
Dr. Weiss conducted a teaching session on advanced management of non-union and delayed-union fractures using a combined approach of placental tissue and exosome therapy, demonstrating his protocol for stimulating bone regeneration through fluoroscopic guidance and micro-debridement of fibrotic bone tissue. The conference also featured Howard Robins, DPM, who lectured on the clinical applications of ozone therapy, highlighting its anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial benefits in chronic wound and pain management.

| PRACTICE MANAGEMENT TIP OF THE DAY | |
6 Things to Consider Before Firing an Employee
Navigating staff terminations requires careful planning to avoid legal pitfalls and maintain workplace morale. Discover essential checkpoints for a smooth process.
3. Use progressive discipline so nobody is surprised
Terminations should feel like the last chapter of a well-known story, not a plot twist. Follow a clear sequence—verbal warning, written warning, final notice—so employees know what’s at stake and have a chance to improve. Consistency also shows outsiders that you treat staff fairly. A recent practice-management tip outlines how a transparent process keeps tempers in check.

| FINANCIAL TIP OF THE DAY | |
Your Four-Step Guide to True Financial Freedom
Yes, you can achieve financial independence, even if it seems elusive. While it may not be an easy journey, these are the steps to get things rolling in the right direction.
3. Reduce debt and expenses
Everyone wants financial independence, but only a few put in the work to achieve it. You might have high-earning acquaintances who have to ask family and friends for a short loan to pay rent or buy groceries.
To get freedom later in life, you need the discipline to manage your money in the present. This involves staying away from debt (as much as possible), not living beyond your means, and thinking seriously about every major purchase.

| RESPONSES/COMMENTS (THE FUTURE OF PODIATRY) | |
From: John S. Steinberg, DPM
It is a shame that a few of our own are filled with such negativity and doom. The almost daily posts to this platform seem determined to cast a dark shadow on the profession that has given almost all of us so much reward and fulfillment. How about some facts? Just about every door is open to a DPM now, we practice in every academic and group practice setting, and we dominate the field of foot and ankle surgery throughout the country. The ACFAS salary survey puts us at $446K average earnings for fellows and the APMA Marit salary survey shows $304K average earnings across the entire profession. Hardly seems like a story of doom and gloom to me!
Yes, we do have a student recruitment problem which really is a visibility, branding, and awareness issue. We are working aggressively to fix that and we will fix it.
I don’t have the time to write lengthy essays on a daily basis to counter the negativity on this platform. Rather, I fill my day with the medicine, surgery, teaching and research that fulfill me. To the naysayers, check out this recent publication from ACFAS for more facts: DPM Surgical Pathway

| RESPONSES/COMMENTS (INTERESTING PODIATRY BASED STORIES IN THE NEWS) | |
From: Ivar E. Roth DPM, MPH
I think podiatry schools should contact Jameis and inform him about interest in having him matriculate as a student; of course he would have to meet the requirements. However, offering him a scholarship should not be done as he can easily afford to attend and those funds should be used for students that either need the help or merit-based scholarship applications.

| RESPONSES/COMMENTS (MEDICARE ADVANTAGE) | |
From: Keith L. Gurnick, DPM
Those Medicare patients who live on fixed incomes are impacted by higher prices for almost everything they need to exist. When they are bombarded with television commercials that offer "more" for "less", it is very enticing for these patients to switch from traditional Medicare to one of the many Medicare "Advantage" plans available. We should all be thankful that the limited open enrollment period is not year-long.
The main reason Medicare patients switch is to save money. Those who can afford to keep what they have are not interested in switching because they are happy or satisfied with their current healthcare. Sadly, the patient often finds out afterwards that the advantage plans do not pay for some of the things that were payable by traditional Medicare, only because the advantage plans have figured out how that they can simply deny claims and services.

| RESPONSES/COMMENTS (OBITUARIES) | |
When I was in my last year at Scholl’s, I became pregnant with my 3rd child. The policy at that time was that for each day of clinics missed, you needed to pick up 3 days. Knowing I would need to take some time off (2 weeks), I wanted to work extra shifts prior to having the child. Many of the clinicians and administrators resisted this idea. Dr. Denno, who was clinic chair, championed my cause so I was able to graduate with my class.
In the Army, he had performed many trauma surgeries, including repair of mine injuries that extended well above the ankle. I found out from a local orthopedic surgeon that Dr. Denno had been his superior in the army but Dr. Denno never flaunted his skills or achievements. He was a kind and wonderful teacher and I will always be grateful for his support.
