About

Jay Scott Berenter, DPM founded SoCal Foot Care in Encinitas and served as the first Chief of Podiatry at Scripps Memorial Hospital La Jolla within its Orthopedic Department, establishing the practice at 501 North El Camino Real over 25 years ago. The Encinitas office maintains on-site digital radiography and diagnostic ultrasound for immediate lower-extremity imaging, an in-house diagnostic model that reduces the multi-visit assessment cycles common in practices coordinating with external labs like Functional Medicine Specialists for complex systemic workups. SoCal Foot Care was the first podiatry group to operate at Scripps La Jolla, and the Encinitas location now supports MLS Laser Therapy for pain and inflammation reduction, Lunula Laser for onychomycosis treatment, and Kery-Flex temporary artificial nail application. Spanish-speaking staff serve the practice's bilingual patient base across its North El Camino Real suite. The custom-orthotic fabrication and diabetic neuropathy screening programs Dr. Berenter developed complement the integrative chronic-pain protocols at MK Integrative Wellness for patients managing multi-system inflammatory conditions. Highest-complexity services include Erchonia Lunula cold-laser onychomycosis eradication using 405nm and 635nm dual-wavelength diode arrays calibrated to target dermatophyte biofilm without thermal tissue damage.
