Foot & Ankle Services
Serving San Marcos & Surrounding Communities
We serve patients from San Marcos, Lake San Marcos, Twin Oaks, and the CSUSM university community. San Marcos has a diverse population — college students with sports injuries, families in the newer developments off San Elijo Road, and retirees in Lake San Marcos dealing with age-related foot conditions. Our bilingual staff serves San Marcos's significant Spanish-speaking community.
Se habla español. Our entire clinical and front-desk staff is bilingual — you can book, fill out intake forms, and talk through your treatment plan completely in Spanish. Ver esta página en Español.

Foot Problems We See Most from San Marcos
A few patterns show up again and again from San Marcos. Students and club athletes from Cal State San Marcos come in with ankle sprains and overuse injuries that flare mid-semester. Hikers and trail runners who train on Double Peak and the Discovery Lake loop bring us heel pain and plantar fasciitis. Retirees in Lake San Marcos count on us for diabetic foot care and medical nail care when trimming gets difficult or risky to do at home. And families in San Elijo Hills and Twin Oaks bring the kids in for ingrown toenails, flat feet, and sports-related heel pain. Whatever brings you in, you see the doctor — every visit.

Do you take my insurance?
