Proactive care that keeps you moving - an added layer of protection whether you already have insurance, limited insurance, or no insurance at all. We’re here for you.

The Problem Most Diabetic Patients Face

You've been told to "watch your feet" and "check for problems." But by the time you notice something wrong, it's often already serious.

Here's the reality:

  • 85% of diabetes-related amputations start with a preventable foot ulcer

  • Most diabetic foot wounds don't hurt because of neuropathy—so you don't catch them early

  • Traditional insurance-based care is reactive, not preventive

  • By the time you get an appointment, a small issue has become a major complication

You need a different approach.

Introducing Platinum Care Membership

Proactive, personalized diabetic foot care designed to catch problems before they start—and keep you out of the hospital.

This isn't "wait until something goes wrong" medicine. It's expert-guided prevention with direct access to a fellowship-trained wound surgeon who specializes in keeping diabetic patients ulcer-free.

Platinum Level Membership is ideal if you:

  • Have Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes with neuropathy or circulation concerns

  • Have had a previous foot ulcer and want to prevent recurrence

  • Those seeking only insurance-covered reactive care

Real Patient Stories

  • "I had a foot ulcer two years ago that took 6 months to heal. Since joining, Dr. Tea caught two potential problems before they became ulcers. This membership literally saved my foot."

    Sandy B., Aptos

  • "The 24/7 text access is worth it alone. I can send Dr. Tea a photo if I'm worried about something, and she responds within hours. It's peace of mind I didn't have before."

    William T., Monterey

  • "My insurance doesn't offer this level of care. After being hospitalized for an infection, I knew I needed something more. Working with Dr. Tea is a literal life saver."

What You're Really Investing In

Avoiding the $50,000+ average cost of diabetic foot complications

  • Preventing hospital stays, surgeries, and lost mobility

  • Expert care from a fellowship-trained wound surgeon

  • Peace of mind knowing your feet are monitored year-round

This is preventive care your insurance won't cover—but your future self will thank you for.

FAQs

  • No. Platinum Level Membership is a self-pay preventive care program. We are able to deliver high-touch care by being out-of-network.

  • Text Dr. Tea directly. Platinum Level members get priority scheduling for urgent concerns. If you need immediate emergency care, we'll guide you to the appropriate facility.

  • Traditional podiatry is reactive—you call when there's a problem, wait for an appointment, and treat the issue. Platinum Level care is proactive—we monitor your foot health monthly, catch problems early, and you have direct access to Dr. Tea year-round.

  • That's exactly when you need it. Prevention works best before problems start. If you have diabetes, neuropathy, or circulation issues, you're at risk—even if you feel fine today.

  • We'll provide immediate care and create an aggressive treatment protocol. If you need specialized hospital-based care or reconstructive surgery, we'll refer you to the appropriate specialist while continuing to support your recovery.
