Serving Coral Gables Patients
Coral Gables is one of Miami's most walkable and active communities, and Dr. Jordan Katz has served its residents for over 15 years. From the University of Miami campus to the boutiques on Miracle Mile, Coral Gables is a neighborhood where people are on their feet — and foot pain can genuinely disrupt life here. Whether you are a UM professor who stands for three-hour lectures, a Merrick Park shopper covering miles of tile, or a runner logging laps around the Salvadore Park loop, we understand the demands your lifestyle places on your feet and ankles.
Our office at 475 Biltmore Way sits just steps from the iconic Biltmore Hotel and directly accessible from Ponce de León Boulevard, US-1, and LeJeune Road. For most Coral Gables residents, we are a 5–10 minute drive — often closer than the nearest urgent care center. That proximity matters when you are dealing with acute heel pain, an ankle sprain from a misstep on one of the neighborhood's uneven brick sidewalks, or a bunion that has finally become too painful to ignore. There is no reason to fight Brickell traffic or drive to Aventura for specialty podiatry when world-class regenerative care is in your own backyard.
Dr. Katz sees patients from every corner of Coral Gables: Biltmore Estates, Gables Estates, South Gables, the University of Miami Medical Campus, and the residential streets off Old Cutler Road. We also serve the adjacent communities of South Miami, Coconut Grove, and Pinecrest — all within a short drive of our Biltmore Way office. University of Miami staff and faculty benefit from accepted UM-affiliated insurance plans, and we make every effort to schedule same-week appointments for new patients dealing with acute or limiting pain.
Coral Gables residents have come to expect a certain standard of care — from their physicians as much as from their restaurants or contractors. At Katz Regenerative Foot & Ankle, that standard is matched. Every patient receives a thorough evaluation, diagnostic imaging interpreted in-office, and a personalized treatment plan built around the most conservative evidence-based option that will actually resolve the problem. Surgery is never the first answer here; regenerative medicine is.

Coral Gables was planned in the 1920s by developer George Merrick, and that vision of European-influenced architecture, wide canopied streets, and pedestrian-oriented design still defines the city today. With a permanent population of around 50,000 and an influx of University of Miami students and staff that swells that number considerably, Coral Gables combines the feel of a small Mediterranean village with the sophistication of a global city. The neighborhood is consistently ranked among the most walkable in South Florida — which is both its appeal and, for many of its residents, the reason they eventually end up seeing a podiatrist. Foot health is foot traffic, and there is an unusual amount of it here.
Runners are a defining feature of the Coral Gables landscape. Before work and after sunset, Ponce de León Boulevard, Alhambra Circle, and the perimeter of the University of Miami campus fill with joggers who take the neighborhood's tree-lined beauty as an invitation to push their mileage. The problem is the surface: Miami's hard concrete and the uneven brick pavers on Miracle Mile and Salzedo Street are unforgiving on soft tissue. Plantar fasciitis and Achilles tendonitis are the predictable consequences of training high volumes on these surfaces without proper footwear or biomechanical support. Dr. Katz sees these patterns daily and has developed protocols specifically designed to resolve them without sidelining patients from the active lifestyles they have built around this neighborhood.
"I had been dealing with heel pain for almost two years — I tried everything, including two rounds of cortisone shots from another doctor. A neighbor who runs the same Ponce de León route as me mentioned Dr. Katz. After one diagnostic ultrasound and a shockwave series, I was running again in six weeks. He never once mentioned surgery. That was exactly what I needed to hear."— Elena R., Coral Gables resident and 5K runner
Beyond the running community, Coral Gables hosts a large population of long-term residents — many of whom have lived here for decades and bring with them the cumulative wear of years of active South Florida living. Bunions that were managed with wider shoes for fifteen years eventually need surgical attention; fungal nail infections picked up from the Venetian Pool or a local gym become chronic without proper treatment. Dr. Katz's practice has grown in step with Coral Gables itself — offering everything from conservative first-line treatments to minimally invasive surgical procedures, always with the goal of keeping patients active, mobile, and living the lives this beautiful neighborhood was designed for.
Coral Gables Patient FAQ
Answers to the questions we hear most often from patients in Coral Gables and the surrounding neighborhoods.
How far is Dr. Katz's office from Coral Gables neighborhoods like Miracle Mile or Merrick Park?
Katz Regenerative Foot & Ankle is located directly in Coral Gables at 475 Biltmore Way, Suite 108 — which puts us within a 5-minute drive of Miracle Mile, Merrick Park, and the University of Miami campus. Patients from Biltmore Estates, Gables Estates, and the surrounding streets can typically reach us in under 10 minutes. There is no commute to Aventura or Kendall; we are your neighborhood podiatrist.
Does Dr. Katz accept insurance for Coral Gables patients, including UM employee coverage?
We accept most major insurance plans, including Aetna, BlueCross BlueShield, Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, Humana, Medicare, and several others. University of Miami staff and faculty often carry Aetna or BCBS plans through the university's benefits package — both are accepted at our practice. We recommend calling our office at (305) 442-1780 to verify your specific plan and coverage before your first visit.
What is the most common foot condition treated in the Coral Gables patient population?
Plantar fasciitis is by far the most common diagnosis we see in Coral Gables patients. The area's active, walking-oriented community — particularly runners along Ponce de León Boulevard and the UM campus loop — generates a high volume of overuse injuries. Long-distance running on hard concrete combined with unsuitable footwear is the leading risk factor. Achilles tendonitis and ankle sprains follow closely, especially among recreational athletes and University of Miami student-athletes who train on and off campus.
Is parking available at the Biltmore Way office?
Yes. Free patient parking is available in the building garage at 475 Biltmore Way. Simply enter from Biltmore Way and proceed to the reserved guest spaces on the ground floor. Street parking is also available along Biltmore Way and on nearby Salzedo Street. Our location is directly accessible from US-1 (South Dixie Highway) via Ponce de León Boulevard and from LeJeune Road, making it straightforward to reach from any direction within Coral Gables.
Can I get a same-week appointment with Dr. Katz?
In most cases, yes. We make every effort to accommodate new Coral Gables patients within the same week, particularly for acute conditions such as ankle sprains, acute Achilles pain, or severe heel pain that is affecting daily activity. Urgent cases are prioritized. The fastest way to schedule is to book online through our patient portal — the booking button on this page connects directly to our scheduling system — or call our office at (305) 442-1780 during business hours (Monday through Friday, 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM).
