About

About Dr. Tagaloa-Tulifau
Mafutaga Tagaloa-Tulifau, DPM, has practiced podiatric medicine and surgery at Tagaloa-Tulifau Foot & Ankle Center, Inc in Lakewood, California, since 1999. She takes great pride in her career. Doing what she loves to do – helping people with their foot and ankle problems – is a real blessing and her true calling.
Dr. Tagaloa-Tulifau believes there’s nothing as fulfilling as seeing someone come into her office with pain or a full-blown infected diabetic ulcer and leave with a smile because she was able to resolve their pain or begin a course of treatment to save their limb.
Dr. Tagaloa-Tulifau works to create lasting relationships with her patients and the community. She believes in spending quality time with her patients, explaining their foot or ankle problem and exploring treatment options. While she’s a well-trained foot and ankle surgeon, her philosophy is to try conservative treatment first before considering surgical intervention.
Dr. Tagaloa-Tulifau was born and raised in American Samoa, where she attended Fagaitua High School, graduating as valedictorian of her class. Following high school, she attended American Samoa Community College, then moved to California with her parents and received her Bachelor of Science in biology from Loma Linda University.
After relocating to San Francisco, Dr. Tagaloa-Tulifau received her Doctor of Podiatric Medicine from California College of Podiatric Medicine, which is now known as California College of Podiatric Medicine at Samuel Merritt College. Then she went on to complete her residency at the University of Southern California-Los Angeles County Medical Center.
Dr. Tagaloa-Tulifau continues to keep up with the latest medical research, innovations, and treatments by attending continuing education seminars throughout the country. She firmly believes that knowledge is powerful, so she keeps up-to-date with technology and implements advanced procedures in her office.
In her spare time, Dr. Tagaloa-Tulifau likes to exercise and spend time with her family, which includes six children and her mother. Three of her daughters are still at home, while her fourth daughter and two sons attend college. Her oldest son is heading off to medical school – Western University College of Podiatric Medicine – and she looks forward to the day when he can join her practice.

PRONATION is a definite buzzword in the foot and ankle world. It essentially means that your foot turns inward at the arch area. The number one thing we do to eliminate pronation is to prescribe Custom Functional Orthotics. Orthotics prevent your feet from making movements they aren’t supposed to. They can also eliminate pain at the knees, hips and back. • Our passion is to keep you walking👣 • Schedule an appointment! ☎️ Call (562)-925-3055 Visit our website: www.doctortulifau.com • • • • • #doctor #orthotics #feetlovers #feetlove #toes #feet #footanklesurgeon #surgeon #med #medstudent #medical #medicalfield #medicine #nurse #nursingschool #residency #residencylife #school #podiatry #diabetes #ulcer #treatyourself #healthylifestyle #healthy #walking #runner

May 1992 On this day, I was gowned as a Doctor of Podiatric Medicine (D.P.M). I was 25 years young, freshly married, and pregnant with my first child. I didn’t have a plan, and I most definitely didn’t know I would become the doctor I am now. My faith in God & my bold decisions are what kept me going. Happy National Women’s Physicians Day❤️

Venous stasis ulcers and chronic swelling of the legs are chronic manifestations of venous insufficiency. This is a real challenge and requires compression hoses at all times to control edema and to prevent skin break down. We can help heal venous stasis ulcers. Take a look at this before and after photos of a healed venous stasis ulcer.
I'm grateful for my Rockstar Staff! You are awesome....... #teamworkmakesthedreamwork #podiatrist #samoanpride #footdoctor #pacificislander #femaledoctor

Are you tired of dealing with plantar warts? Tagaloa-Tulifau Foot & Ankle Care Center got you covered! Plantar warts are growths that usually appear on heels or other weight-bearing areas of the feet due to walking and prolonged standing position. Due to the pressure, it causes the plantar warts to grow inward beneath a hard, thick layer of skin, which is the callus. We are happy to announce that we now have the latest technology in effectively treating warts, the Swift Wart Treatment. Do not let these plantar warts interfere with your daily activities. Book an appointment with us and let us check your condition :) #SwiftWartsTreatment #Warts #PlantarWarts #podiatry
