As a Fellow of the American College of Foot and Ankle Surgeons practicing in Encinitas, Adam Dustin, DPM at Alvera Podiatry Group brings surgical training from a three-year residency at Cook County Hospital and Thorek Medical Center in Chicago. That residency included rearfoot, ankle arthroscopic, pediatric, and laser surgery rotations — a trauma-volume foundation that informs the regenerative orthobiologic approach to tendon and ligament repair at BIOEVOLVE San Diego Orthobiologics and Sports Center. An international surgical educator since 1998, the practitioner teaches foot and ankle dissection and technique — in Spanish — to physicians and medical students at Universitat Autonoma Medical School in Barcelona, with additional professorships in Porto, Portugal, and Veracruz, Mexico. The practice on Encinitas Boulevard utilizes digital radiography and diagnostic ultrasound for in-office fracture evaluation and soft-tissue assessment, with post-procedural pain management referrals coordinating through Be Well Acupuncture - Encinitas. Highest-complexity cases involve revisional bunion reconstruction with Lapidus arthrodesis, first metatarsophalangeal joint implant arthroplasty, and multiplanar deformity correction using guided osteotomy techniques.
