North Coast Family Medical Group in Encinitas is the practice home of Christine Clotfelter, DO, a board-certified family medicine physician who left the UCSD faculty to join the physician-owned group in 2012. A University of San Diego bachelor's degree in Spanish and a medical degree from the New York College of Osteopathic Medicine preceded a UCSD family medicine residency, producing a bilingual English-Spanish osteopathic physician whose musculoskeletal assessment skills complement the physical rehabilitation programs at Bespoke Physical Therapy Encinitas. Osteopathic medical training adds structural examination and manipulative treatment principles to standard allopathic family medicine, expanding diagnostic and therapeutic options for patients presenting with somatic dysfunction. Clinical interests center on women's health, with procedural capabilities including gynecological examinations, colposcopy, and contraceptive management alongside the group's full menu of skin biopsies, joint injections, and laceration repair. The NCFMG practice—founded in 1978—anchors a multi-physician, physician-owned model on North El Camino Real that coordinates referrals with integrative health providers such as ActiveMed Integrative Health Center in the broader Encinitas medical network. Osteopathic manipulative treatment protocols include cranial, myofascial release, and muscle energy techniques targeting cervical, thoracic, and lumbosacral somatic dysfunction in pediatric through geriatric patients.
