JENNEFFER Pulapaka

Since 2005, Dr. Jenneffer Pulapaka's expertise in surgical wound care has been a foundation in her practice, DeLand Foot and Leg Center. It is the first and longest-running female surgical practice in West Volusia County. Proudly, she is the first Podiatrist to be a Board Certified Physician Diplomate in Lifestyle Medicine because she believes "every patient needs a physician who will be an advocate to help them regain their health."

Dr. Pulapaka holds three board certifications in wound care. She is on the Board of Directors for the Association for the Advancement of Wound Care, a Special Expert for the Podiatric Population Health Committee with the American Podiatric Medical Association, and on the Citizens Advisory Committee for West Volusia Hospital Authority. She is co-author of three books, including her forthcoming book - a Plant-Based Cardiac Recovery Cookbook, with a release date of Spring 2023. Additionally, she has completed her Plant-Based Nutrition Certification at Cornell and Culinary Health Education Fundamentals (CHEF) Coaching from Harvard. Ⓥ

"We need to focus on prevention and away from reactionary sick care."
