Aleena Resendez DPM is a podiatrist with special interests in podiatric surgery, sports medicine, diabetic limb salvage, wound care, and biomechanics. Her passion for medicine began while studying Biochemistry at the University of California, Riverside, where she learned more about the physiochemical processes that occur on a molecular level within the body’s development. Dr. Resendez chose her specialty because it is very gratifying to have an immediate impact on the quality of patients’ lives, allowing them to get back on their feet, participating in the activities they enjoy.
Dr. Resendez is dedicated to caring for her patients through a variety of nonoperative therapies and takes time to help patients understand the cause of their symptoms. When surgery is necessary, she explores different operative modalities that are specifically tailored to each patient based on their work, hobbies and lifestyles. While training during the pandemic, Dr. Resendez conducted research on a foot monitoring device to assist with early detection of diabetic foot ulcers in the veteran population.
She prides herself in practicing evidence-based medicine to treat patient’s underlying symptoms for long-term relief.
