NAPLES, FL – September 28, 2026 –<\/strong> Family Foot & Leg Center<\/a>, a board-certified podiatric practice with nine locations across Southwest Florida, today announced expanded same-day and next-day appointment access for foot and ankle care in East Naples, Marco Island, Northeast Naples, and Ave Maria. Patients in these communities can reach a foot and ankle specialist when symptoms appear, rather than waiting weeks for a specialist referral.<\/p>\n

Southwest Florida’s year-round golf, pickleball, tennis, and walking season keeps mid-life and senior patients active twelve months a year, and foot and ankle problems rarely respect a calendar. Heel pain that flares on the court, an ankle turned on uneven pavement, a bunion that finally makes shoes unwearable, a diabetic foot that needs a specialist’s eyes — each of these benefits from an evaluation measured in days, not weeks.<\/p>\n

Two specialists, four communities<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dr. Wesley Drew Chapman, DPM, FACFAS<\/strong>, Medical Director, serves patients from Northeast Naples and Ave Maria at the practice’s Winchester Plaza office, 13851 Winchester Trl, Suite 115, Naples, FL 34120. He is a Fellow of the American College of Foot and Ankle Surgeons with expertise in foot and ankle trauma and reconstructive care, treating injuries and deformities that range from acute fractures to long-standing structural problems.<\/p>\n

Dr. Karan Malani, DPM, AACFAS<\/strong>, serves East Naples and Marco Island patients from the practice’s Mustang Center office, 12250 Tamiami Trail East, Suite 101, Naples, FL 34113. He is an Associate of the American College of Foot and Ankle Surgeons and provides full-scope podiatric medicine and surgery, from routine foot care through complex conditions of the foot and ankle.<\/p>\n

Both physicians are board-credentialled podiatrists whose published credentials are available for review on the practice’s website, and both welcome new patients across the pediatric-to-geriatric range, with a particular focus on keeping the region’s mid-life and senior population walking, golfing, and playing pickleball without foot pain dictating the schedule.<\/p>\n

What same-day access is for<\/strong><\/p>\n

Same-day and next-day appointments are intended for patients whose symptoms should not sit on a waitlist: ankle injuries from sport or a fall, heel pain that makes the first steps of the morning difficult, bunion discomfort that is worsening, diabetic foot concerns that need prompt examination, wounds on the foot or ankle that are slow to heal, and mobility changes of any kind. Every visit begins with a specialist evaluation and an individualized treatment plan; the practice makes no guarantees of any particular outcome, and treatment recommendations are made patient by patient after examination.<\/p>\n

How patients reach the practice<\/strong><\/p>\n

Appointments can be scheduled around the clock by phone at 239-430-3668, where AI-supported agents answer calls 24\/7 and book patients directly, or through the practice’s online self-service scheduling. The practice operates nine locations from Marco Island to Sarasota, including Naples, Estero, Fort Myers, Cape Coral, and Port Charlotte, so patients who split their time along the Southwest Florida coast can be seen close to home.<\/p>\n
