North Port Foot & Ankle

Celebrating 38 Wonderful Years of Dedication, Compassion, and Care!


After 38 incredible years of serving our community, Dr. Kurecki will officially be retiring on Thursday, February 25, 2027.

For nearly four decades, Dr. Kurecki has had the privilege of caring for generations of patients, building lasting relationships, and becoming a familiar and trusted part of the community, he loves so much.

Throughout his career, his passion has always been about more than just treating foot and ankle conditions. It has been about the people he has met, the friendships he has formed, and the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of his patients.


To all his wonderful patients: THANK YOU!

Your trust, loyalty, kindness, and support over the past 38 years have meant more to Dr. Kurecki than words can express. Being part of this community and having the opportunity to care for so many wonderful individuals and families has truly been one of the greatest joys of his career.

While this chapter is coming to a close, the memories, friendships, and connections made along the way will always hold a special place in his heart.
