Dean’s Chat hosts, Drs. Jensen and Richey, welcome Dr. Jenneffer Pulapaka to the podcast to discuss her career – from podiatric medicine, to lifestyle medicine, to owning a restaurant, to authoring a recipe book highlighting a plant based diet.
“Light the Fire within your Mind.” — Jenneffer Pulapaka, DPM
Over the past sixteen years, Dr. Jenneffer Pulapaka’s expertise in podiatric surgery has helped thousands of patients. She opened her practice in 2005, DeLand Foot and Leg Center (DFALC), where she currently sees patients.
DFALC was the first female podiatric surgeon’s office in a community where less than 10% of the surgeons were women, and in 2005, she was only the second female to complete the post-doctoral fellowship at the Russian Ilizarov Scientific Center for Restorative Traumatology and Orthopaedics.
“Patients want and need healthy, affordable options for fresh vegetables and fruits. There are simple ways to help. One way was by building a free community garden for patients at DFALC- Plant to Plate Patient Garden. Another way is with a physician-driven RX: Veggies & Fruits Patient Program.
We provide government contracting covering your medical care, socks, shoewear, and diabetic foot care needs. DFALC continues to protect clients, workers, patients, and employees from high impact work environments that ease the symptoms of arthritis to shielding against amputations from diabetic side effects. We have been an elite Podiatric Center serving local government agencies, orthopedic clinics, physical therapists, chiropractors, and VA patients.
Dr. Pulapaka launched WICCD – Women Inspiring Change and Community Development, to promote positive leadership in Central Florida, & by Women Marketplace, an online venue where women and men purchase business products that are women owned, produced, or designed. Dr. Pulapaka noted, “I believe every patient needs a physician who will be an advocate to help them regain their health.” She is also the Co-owner and Wine Director @ Cress Restaurant, a business dedicated to improving our food system, through local sources, sustainable practices, and refined flavours. This has led to Cress’ devotion to champion the local & sustainability movement and initiate food waste programs.”
