I'm a Podiatrist. Not a very glamorous career, I know. I never knew what a Podiatrist was until I met a friend's father at W&J College who had a successful podiatry practice near campus. I'll never forget him saying "why go to school for years and years, have to do rounds both morning and evening, and be on call all the time?"
Our Greensburg, Greensburg, Somerset & Mount Pleasant, PA Podiatrist can help you find bunions or hammertoes relief. Misaligned big toe joints that swell and become tender, causing the first joint of the big toe to slant outward and the second joint to angle toward the other toes. Bunions tend to be hereditary, but can be aggravated by shoes that are too narrow in the forefoot and toe. Surgery is frequently performed to correct the problem. Bunions if left untreated, not only can become painful, but can become progressively worse.
Our Caring Greensburg, Somerset & Mount Pleasant, PA Pediatric Podiatrist Specializes in Children's Foot & Ankle Conditions. If your son or daughter is not participating as often in sports or in other physical activities or is complaining of foot pain, don't think it's caused by "growing pains". Your son or daughter may have a common developmental foot condition such as flat feet that could be simply treated with a custom foot orthotic. In addition, parents may observe that their children are often falling or tripping and not able to keep up with normal activities.
Our Greensburg, Somerset & Mount Pleasant, PA Podiatrist specializes in Diabetic Foot Care & Wound Care. Diabetes has become an epidemic in this country. If you have diabetes it is essential that you have your feet evaluated by a podiatrist. Foot problems are a big risk in diabetics, as those with this condition must constantly monitor their feet or face severe consequences, including amputation.

Dr. Eckhart and his staff are friendly and knowledgeable. Not only do they share options on treatment's best suited for my concerns, but listen to my input. 3 locations make it great so I can have an appointment locally with out driving so far away. I am well pleased with my experience with Laurel Podiatry.

For well over a year now I have been taking my Dad to see Dr. Echard at Laurel Podiatry Associates. Not only is Dr. Echard extremely gentle in dealing with my Dad's 81 year old feet; but, he treats my Dad like a friend instead of a patient. If you treat my Dad well~~you earn major points with me! The staff at the office always works with me to get a convenient appointment and they are always so thoughtful. If there were an opportunity to grant more than five stars; I surely would.

Dr. Echard and his staff are absolutely amazing. I work for a company that is a companion service for individuals with intellectual disabilities and the staff at Dr. Echards office has some of the best attitudes towards their patients. The bedside manners they utilize are unlike any I have ever seen. They take the time to get to know the patients and talk to them like they're real people and not just a payday. I would recommend this office to anyone needing podiatry services in a heartbeat!

Dr. Shawn Echard is a very knowledgeable and personable surgeon. He explained my procedure to me and answered any questions I had. My surgery was a success and my follow up visits were good as well. Dr. Echard made sure that I understood what needed to be done to promote and ensure healing. I can't thank him enough for fixing my foot.

And he always gives all options as well augery is always a later resirt for him. He respects you and your decision.
