About Dr. Jenneffer

In 2005,  I established my private practice in DeLand and Orange City. I enjoyed both locations until 2008, when I made the decision to focus my care, full-time, in the DeLand community.  DFALC was the first female podiatric surgeon’s office in a community where less than 10% of the surgeons were women. It is the first and longest-running female surgical practice in West Volusia County.  Therefore, I support the uplifting of women in our society. Please visit WOMEN’S EMPOWERMENT PRINCIPLES for my company’s pledge in 2020. 

 “I believe every patient needs a physician who will be an advocate to help them regain their health”. Her surgical training has taken her to Miami for her residency and the Ilizarov Institute for her fellowship.  She was the first certified Women-Owned medical practice in the United States.

Dr. Pulapaka graduated from one of the top three residency programs in the United States in Miami. Her training has taken her to the Yucatan for advanced limb deformity training and a Fellowship in Trauma, Reconstruction, and Limb Deformity from the Ilizarov Institute in Russia.  As, the second woman to complete this training in Russia, she states,

 “I’m grateful to have studied with some of the world’s most influential podiatrists and with master surgeons for external fixation and osteomyelitis.  I emphasized on surgery, wound care, sports medicine, and nail disorders as well as general preventative podiatry care.

In 2013, I began to focus on wound care and limb salvage, a specialty missing in our area; completing my Certified Wound Specialist Physician (CWSP) in 2016. In August 2016, I was certified with the American Board of Multiple Specialties in Podiatry – Prevention and Treatment of Diabetic Foot Wounds and Diabetic Footwear. I also became Board Certified with the American Board of Wound Healing – Physician Certification in Wound Care (PCWC). 

To that end finally, in 2020 I became the first podiatrist Board Certified Diplomate with the American College of Lifestyle Medicine and retired from my position with the American College of Foot and Ankle Surgeons to pursue a sustainable medical path. “
