About

Seaside Foot and Ankle in Chula Vista provides podiatric medicine and surgery from Suite 1100 at 855 Third Avenue, with Dr. Collin S. Smith, DPM on the Scripps-affiliated clinical team. The practice's diagnostic and surgical scope includes fracture care, bunion correction, plantar fasciitis treatment, and sports-related foot and ankle injuries, and post-operative rehabilitation coordinates with manual-therapy providers including The Joint Chiropractic for gait-related spinal compensation patterns. The Third Avenue location in the 91911 ZIP code serves the southern stretch of Chula Vista's downtown corridor, with additional practice locations in Poway and Escondido extending the coverage area across San Diego County. Diabetic foot care represents a significant portion of the caseload, with vascular assessments, neuropathy screening, and wound-care protocols addressing the limb-preservation needs of the South Bay's diabetic population. Post-surgical and chronic wound patients requiring in-home follow-up coordinate through home health agencies including ComForCare Home Care for dressing changes and mobility assistance during recovery. Highest-complexity procedures include rearfoot and ankle reconstruction, Lapidus bunionectomy with internal fixation hardware, and Achilles tendon repair using suture-anchor techniques under fluoroscopic guidance.
