Dr. Tea is not your typical foot doctor

Frustrated with restricted care, mounting paperwork, and short visits, I left the traditional medical model to offer patients a more personalized way to experience medical care.

In 2018, I opened Pacific Point Podiatry so that patients could receive timely and exceptional care through a new paradigm called functional podiatric medicine. This offers patients long-term relief by addressing the root causes of foot & ankle pathology ranging from mechanical to metabolic dysfunction.

I am so excited to be the first podiatrist to bring this patient-centric model to Santa Cruz County so that you can heal naturally and worry less about your feet.

With this approach, you will feel better on your feet AND improve your health.
