“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). “

Dr. Pulapaka talks about wound care, “I am certified with the American Board of Wound Management as a Certified Wound Specialist Physician, one of five in Volusia County and the only one in our West Volusia area.  As a Wound Care specialist, I emphasize the need for basic ‘good wound care’ as well as access to advanced wound care therapies to achieve optimal patient outcomes.  As a Senior Specialist, I rely on personal experience and clinical evidence to make treatment choices”. 

A patient with a wound that has not healed after one month of conservative therapy may benefit from being referred to a wound care specialist for further evaluation and treatment. At DeLand Foot and Leg Center, I provide innovative health care while demonstrating compassion to your patients as they navigate the often long road to recovery. I am also currently certified with the American Board of Multiple Specialties in Podiatry – Prevention and Treatment of Diabetic Foot Wounds and Diabetic Footwear. Statistics show 85% of diabetes-related lower extremity amputations are preceded by a foot ulcer, however many foot ulcers can be prevented with suitable healthcare and informed self-care. With my combined expertise and diverse clinical knowledge I can help improve the patient’s wound healing and thus, improve their quality of life.”
