In Chula Vista since 1980, David Mazza, DPM - So Cal Foot Care PC delivers podiatric surgery from 276 Church Avenue with board certification from the American Board of Foot and Ankle Surgery earned in 1986. The practice's diabetic foot-care program draws referrals from primary-care providers across the South Bay, including San Ysidro Health Chula Vista, for wound evaluation, neuropathy assessment, and preventive foot examinations in high-risk patients. A California College of Podiatric Medicine graduate and former president of both the San Diego County Podiatric Medical Association and the California Podiatric Medical Association, the practice holds affiliations with Sharp Chula Vista Medical Center and Scripps Mercy Hospital. Twenty-five years as a clinical instructor in the Division of Orthopedics at UC San Diego Medical Center and former director of podiatric services for the UCSD Diabetes Center anchor the practice's academic credentials. The biomechanical assessment and custom-orthotic fabrication program complements holistic pain-management approaches available through South Bay Family Acupuncture, offering patients nonsurgical alternatives for chronic foot and ankle conditions. Surgical capabilities include Austin and Scarf bunionectomy, endoscopic plantar fasciotomy, Achilles tendon repair, and hammertoe correction using K-wire and absorbable fixation techniques.
