Monaco, DPM, FACFAS, DABPM, a board-certified podiatrist and accomplished foot and ankle surgeon, is elevating the standard of lower extremity care at Ankle & Foot Centers of America in Columbus, Georgia. Through advanced surgical techniques, comprehensive treatment options, and a commitment to compassionate patient relationships, Dr. Monaco helps individuals of all ages regain mobility, improve quality of life, and maintain long-term foot and ankle health.
Recognizing how significantly foot and ankle conditions can affect everyday activities, Dr. Monaco provides a full spectrum of specialized care addressing both common and complex lower extremity concerns. Her expertise includes surgical and reconstructive treatment for conditions such as ankle sprains, fractures, tendon injuries, plantar fasciitis, foot deformities, and advanced complications associated with chronic conditions. By combining innovative procedures with patient education, she empowers individuals to better understand their conditions and actively participate in maintaining their overall lower extremity wellness.
“As your doctor, I strive to provide the most cutting-edge, all-inclusive surgical and nonsurgical foot and ankle care with a personal touch,” says Dr. Monaco. “By fostering a friendly, inclusive environment for healing, I will offer excellent patient care. We offer several different methods of care, which greatly improves access to our services. While teaching our patients how to maintain good lower extremity health, we restore their foot and ankle function.”
Throughout her career, Dr. Monaco has been recognized for her dedication to advancing podiatric medicine and bringing innovative solutions to patients with complex conditions. She is the only surgeon in the Columbus area trained in the Frail technique, a specialized approach used in the correction of challenging foot and ankle deformities. Her commitment to pioneering care is demonstrated through her successful performance of a groundbreaking “frame over nail” operation utilizing the Orthofix system to treat a complex diabetic Charcot deformity, reflecting her ability to apply advanced reconstructive techniques to improve patient outcomes.
Dr. Monaco’s extensive education and specialized training have positioned her as a leader in foot and ankle reconstruction. She earned her Doctor of Podiatric Medicine Degree from the New York College of Podiatric Medicine before completing her podiatric surgical residency at Scripps Mercy Hospital and Kaiser Foundation Hospital in San Diego, California. She further expanded her expertise through a fellowship in limb lengthening and reconstruction at Sinai Hospital’s Rubin Institute for Advanced Orthopedics in Baltimore, Maryland, followed by an A.O. trauma fellowship at Inselspital University of Bern in Switzerland.
After beginning her professional career in private practice in San Diego, Dr. Monaco returned to academia as an assistant professor at Western University of Health Sciences in Pomona, California, where she contributed to the education and clinical development of future healthcare professionals. She later continued her clinical practice on the East Coast before bringing her expertise to Columbus, Georgia, where she has become a valued member of the Piedmont Columbus medical community.
As a board-certified specialist in foot surgery and reconstructive rearfoot and ankle surgery through the American Board of Foot and Ankle Surgery, Dr. Monaco provides patients with the highest level of specialized care. She is also a Fellow of the American College of Foot and Ankle Surgeons (FACFAS) and a Diplomate of the American Board of Podiatric Medicine (DABPM). Additionally, she has received advanced wound care and prevention training through Healogics®, the nation’s leading wound care management organization, allowing her to provide specialized treatment for patients managing chronic wounds and related conditions.
Beyond her clinical achievements, Dr. Monaco is passionate about improving access to care for underserved populations around the world. She has participated in numerous humanitarian medical missions focused on providing free reconstructive foot and ankle surgeries to children and adults in developing communities.
“I am very fortunate to have the opportunity to bring my training and expertise to needy children in the developing world,” shares Dr. Monaco. “I was lucky to be invited with Healing the Children on a mission trip to Kathmandu, Nepal, where we treated children and adults with clubfoot, flatfoot, and residual problems from other foot deformities. While in my fellowship in Baltimore, I was honored to treat children and adults in Port Au Prince, Haiti, with Operation Rainbow and the Save-a-limb Foundation. This work is my love—to affect change in someone’s life is an amazing gift, and to affect change in a child’s life is even more rewarding.”
Driven by innovation, education, and a deep commitment to serving others, Dr. Jennifer A. Monaco continues to redefine what is possible in foot and ankle care. Through her expertise in reconstructive surgery, dedication to patient education, and passion for humanitarian service, she remains focused on helping patients walk stronger, live healthier, and experience renewed independence.
