Upperline Health La Mesa operates La Mesa's Grossmont area outpost of the nation's largest podiatry-focused specialty care network, founded in 2017 and headquartered in Nashville. The clinic's diabetic foot ulcer and limb-preservation protocols generate referral pathways for ongoing prescription management through area dispensaries such as Village Rose Pharmacy, where patients fill topical wound-care and antibiotic regimens between appointments. La Mesa providers Stephen J. Kriger, DPM, Yvette Canaba, DPM, and Han Nguyen, DPM hold podiatric foot and ankle surgery credentials and treat bunions, plantar fasciitis, Charcot foot, neuropathy, ingrown toenails, and arthritic joint deformities from Suite 510 at 5565 Grossmont Center Drive in the 91942 ZIP. Upperline Plus, the practice's value-based care layer for traditional Medicare enrollees, pairs each patient with a multidisciplinary team of nurse practitioners, dietitians, social workers, and care navigators—an integrated monitoring model that parallels the annual diabetic-retinopathy screening coordination maintained with optometric providers like La Mesa Vision Center. The platform treats over 250,000 patients annually across offices in California, Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, and Tennessee. Highest-complexity cases involve surgical correction of severe Charcot neuroarthropathy with external fixation and staged reconstruction to preserve weight-bearing function in the diabetic lower extremity.
