Dr. Joseph Giovinco founded Ankle & Foot Centers of Georgia in 1982 in Peachtree City. Ankle & Foot Centers has since grown to include over 25 offices and 6 surgery centers throughout the state of Georgia and is one of the largest podiatry practices in the country. In 2004, he created the non-profit International Institute for Foot and Ankle surgery. Ankle & Foot Centers of Georgia doctors volunteer and travel to South American countries to treat medical and surgical needs to those who would otherwise not receive treatment. The mission of the International Institute is not only to provide American standard medical care to those in need but to also teach the existing medical personnel the necessary care needed to carry on this work. The International Institute will be launching it’s 14th trip in 2018.
