Travis Westermeyer, DPM, has practiced podiatric medicine in Encinitas since earning American Board of Foot and Ankle Surgery certification in 1984, with surgical privileges at the UCSD Center for Surgery of Encinitas and Scripps Memorial Hospital. His DPM from Samuel Merritt College (now California School of Podiatric Medicine, class of 1978) and a residency at Loma Linda VA Hospital established a clinical foundation in podiatric orthopedics, with wound-care protocols supported by specialty compounding providers including North Coast Medical Pharmacy. Spanish-language fluency expands access for bilingual patients across the Santa Fe Drive medical corridor. Known for pioneering pediatric podiatric surgical techniques, he continues to lecture on and demonstrate forefoot, rearfoot, and ankle procedures across pediatric, adult, and geriatric patient populations—a multi-generational scope that parallels the vascular and dermatologic lower-extremity assessments at Skin & Vein Institute. Complex cases include pediatric tarsal coalition resection, adult rearfoot reconstructive arthrodesis, and geriatric Charcot stabilization requiring staged external-to-internal fixation conversion.
