In Practice Since 1974
50 Years of Putting Patients First
Dr. Frank Santopietro established his podiatry practice in Brookline in 1974. Over five decades, he has developed a deep expertise in sports medicine, biomechanics, and custom orthotic fabrication, including his own patented EvenKeel Orthotic System.
For 25 years — from 1982 to 2007 — Dr. Santopietro served as team podiatrist for the New England Patriots. He has also cared for collegiate athletes at Providence College, Boston College, and Boston University, and has consulted for NFL teams including the Tennessee Titans and the St. Louis (now Los Angeles) Rams.
His philosophy is rooted in conservative care: understanding the whole patient, exhausting non-surgical options first, and building solutions that last. That approach has earned him the trust of thousands of patients, from weekend warriors to pediatric patients and everyone in between.
EvenKeel is a family practice in every sense. In 2004, Frank's son David joined the practice and began building the technology infrastructure behind it — co-inventing the patented orthotic system and designing the manufacturing process that delivers it. Frank's wife Mary Lou has managed the office since the mid-1990s, and Nadine Eisenhauer has been part of the team since 2005. Together, they have spent decades making sure patients feel known, not just treated.
