<p>Dr. Nilofar Faghihnia, D.P.M., is a San Diego-based podiatric surgeon with clinical practice locations across San Diego County, including Podiatry Department facilities in the Otay Mesa and El Cajon areas served by the Southern California Permanente Medical Group. She earned her Doctor of Podiatric Medicine degree from the California School of Podiatric Medicine at Samuel Merritt College (class of 2008) and completed both her internship and residency training in podiatry at Scripps Mercy Hospital in San Diego — a major regional medical center with an established history of graduate clinical training.</p><p>Dr. Faghihnia holds board certification from the American Board of Podiatric Medicine, a credential that reflects a formal examination and peer-review process within the podiatric field. Her California podiatrist license (E4935) is on active file with the state, as confirmed by the NPPES National Provider Identifier Registry under NPI 1962660928. She joined Kaiser Permanente in 2015 and has since practiced under the Southern California Permanente Medical Group at multiple San Diego County sites, as listed in the Kaiser Permanente Southern California physician directory.</p><p>Her clinical focus encompasses conditions and surgical interventions involving the foot and ankle — an anatomical region frequently involved in motor vehicle collisions, slip-and-fall incidents, and other traumatic events that commonly appear in personal injury matters. Conditions within her scope include ankle fractures, tendon injuries, plantar fascia disorders, bunion deformities, and other structural or traumatic pathologies of the lower extremity. Her foot-and-ankle surgery training extends her clinical capacity to include operative intervention when conservative approaches have been explored.</p><p>Dr. Faghihnia has completed Cultural Competency Training and serves a geographically diverse patient population across San Diego County. Telehealth services are available through her practice system, and she accepts Medicare assignment. Parties seeking information about lien or letter-of-protection arrangements are encouraged to contact her office directly to confirm current participation and scheduling availability.
