SoCal Foot Care – About Us
Podiatric Medicine and Foot Surgery in Southern California
SoCal Foot Care has decades of experience under its belt and was founded by Dr. Jay Berenter, who began practicing medicine in 1987. Today, there are multiple podiatrists working to fulfill SoCal Foot Care’s goal of providing compassionate care to all who come through our doors. All of our podiatrists are board-certified and keep up-to-date with updates in the podiatry field. Several have presented at medical conferences and all are affiliated with local hospitals in or near La Jolla, Encinitas, and Escondido.
We are proud to have three different locations in the SoCal area, so our patients can choose the location that is best for them. We pride ourselves on the attention and care we give to each person who walks through our doors. We know every patient has their own set of individual circumstances and priorities, and we focus on patient-centered care to get them back on their feet.
No matter your foot or ankle issue, we are ready to serve you!
