The North County Foot and Ankle Difference

What makes North County Foot and Ankle stand out from other foot and ankle doctors in Encinitas? Unlike some foot doctors, our podiatrists work with a client-first mentality. When you walk through our front doors, the time you spend in our office is all about you. We believe in a strong physician-patient relationship fortified by one-on-one attention and honest communication.

Before offering foot pain treatment options, we perform a thorough evaluation, taking into account your individual needs, goals, and preferences. Once that's done, we'll discuss your treatment options in detail and come to a mutual decision regarding the best treatment plan for you.

Whether you have a minor hangnail or need complex surgery, you will receive the same level of compassionate care from our medical team. As board-certified podiatrists in Encinitas, our doctors are proud to treat you. You can rest easy knowing they will take the time to explain what's causing your foot pain, what treatments are best suited to your problem, and what steps you should take after treatment.

And while our podiatrists are uniquely qualified to perform surgery, we often recommend non-surgical options, using treatments like orthotics to relieve foot, arch, and heel pain. From sports injuries and bunions to gout and blisters, we're here to help you live life to the fullest without nagging, debilitating foot pain.

Bunion Surgery

Drs. Morris and Redkar performs state-of-the-art triplanar correction surgery using 3-D digital imaging and a minimal incision approach. This procedure is very effective and works by rotating misaligned big toe bones back to the proper position. Once your toe bones are back in position, a metal plate is attached to your bones so that they remain aligned over long-term use.

ENCINITAS, CA — A last-ditch effort to save Buy Buy Baby fell apart, and the company will close its stores in Encinitas and across the U.S. as part of its bankrupt parent company's ongoing liquidation.

CNBC reported that the owner of children's apparel company Janie and Jack was "eager" to buy the Bed Bath & Beyond chain and keep it running, but could not reach a deal on its value.

There are two Buy Buy Baby (styled buybuy BABY) stores in San Diego County. The Encinitas store is at 1014 North El Camino Real. The Chula Vista store is at 1660 Millenia Ave.

Buy Buy Baby's lender "determined it could recover more of its losses" by selling the chain's intellectual property and going ahead with liquidation sales. Debtors canceled an auction of the entire business last week, CNN Business reported. It is not immediately clear when stores would begin closing.

Retailer Dream on Me Industries, one of Buy Buy Baby's former suppliers, won the chain's trademark and digital assets for $15.5 million, according to CNBC. Bed Bath & Beyond failed to receive any higher bids.

Buy Buy Baby was seen as one of the retailer's more valuable assets, with several companies interested in securing at least part of the brand separately from the parent company.

Bed Bath & Beyond filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on April 23, listing its estimated assets and liabilities at a value up to $10 billion. Discounted sales have been taking place since late April at 360 Bed Bath and Beyond stores across the country, including the stores remaining in California.

Overstock.com put in a $21.5 million offer for Bed Bath & Beyond's IP in June.
