Carlsbad-Encinitas Podiatry operates from Jefferson Street in Carlsbad Village, providing board-certified podiatric medicine and foot surgery to North County patients since 1985. The practice's post-surgical rehabilitation protocols for reconstructive foot and ankle procedures coordinate with the orthopedic recovery programs at Gaspar Doctors of Physical Therapy for gait retraining and weight-bearing progression. A Fellow of the American College of Foot and Ankle Surgeons (FACFAS), the founding podiatrist earned a Doctorate of Podiatric Medicine with honors from California College of Podiatric Medicine in San Francisco and served as past chief of podiatry at Scripps Memorial Hospital Encinitas. In-office diagnostics include digital X-ray and diagnostic ultrasound for real-time evaluation of plantar fasciitis, neuromas, and tendon tears, alongside MLS Laser Therapy for inflammation reduction — a pain-management modality that overlaps with the acupuncture-based protocols at Aviara Acupuncture & Integrative Health in the Aviara area. Highest-tier procedures include rearfoot reconstruction, Lapidus bunionectomy with internal fixation, and diabetic wound debridement with custom-molded orthotic fabrication.
