As the former chief of podiatry at Scripps Memorial Hospital Encinitas, Carlsbad-Encinitas Podiatry maintains board-certified surgical and orthopedic foot care at 501 North El Camino Real as part of the SoCal Foot Care network. The practice offers in-house digital X-ray, diagnostic ultrasound, custom-casted orthotic fabrication, and MLS Laser Therapy for plantar fasciitis and soft-tissue inflammation, an on-site diagnostic scope that supports active patients returning from high-intensity training at Basecamp Fitness Encinitas. Board certification in podiatric orthopedics (1992) and podiatric surgery (1993), with a Doctor of Podiatric Medicine earned with honors from the California College of Podiatric Medicine, anchors the practice's dual surgical-and-biomechanical focus. Surgical privileges at Scripps Memorial Hospital Encinitas enable bunionectomy, hammertoe correction, and reconstructive procedures, while preventive-care referrals arrive from pediatric and family-medicine providers including Children's Primary Care Medical Group for juvenile flatfoot and gait-related conditions. Highest-complexity interventions include custom orthotic prescription from negative plaster-cast impressions for biomechanical correction and Lunula cold-laser onychomycosis treatment using dual-diode 405nm and 635nm wavelengths.
