Seneca Healthcare District (SHD) is pleased to announce the expansion of patient care services with the introduction of podiatry care at the Lake Almanor Clinic. This enhancement reflects SHD’s ongoing commitment to meeting the evolving healthcare needs of our community and increasing access to specialty services close to home.
New Podiatry Services
SHD is proud to introduce and welcome Dr. Martinez, DPM, to its clinical team. With specialized training in the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of foot and ankle conditions, Dr. Martinez provides expert care for patients with both routine and complex podiatric needs.
Dr. Martinez’s addition allows SHD to offer a full spectrum of podiatric services aimed at helping patients improve comfort, mobility, and overall quality of life. His collaborative approach ensures continuity of care for both routine and specialized conditions.
In addition to serving patients at the Lake Almanor Clinic, Dr. Martinez also practices at Plumas District Hospital. This partnership underscores a coordinated effort between regional healthcare providers to expand access to specialty services throughout the surrounding communities.
“We are excited to add podiatry to the services available at Seneca,” said Brady Haynes, COO of SHD. “Foot and ankle health plays a vital role in mobility and overall well‑being, particularly for older adults and individuals managing chronic conditions like diabetes. Dr. Martinez’s expertise will allow us to better serve our community and keep care local.”
The expansion of podiatry services aligns with SHD’s broader mission to provide high‑quality, patient‑centered care and enhance access to specialty providers without the need for long-distance travel.
