I'm so happy I found Eastern Podiatry! Friendly and caring from the front desk to the back office staff and doctor. Dr Hendershot was a very patient listener and explained my conditions to my satisfaction. He did not act hurried and rushed, which means a lot to me, and he seemed very skilled and knowledgeable. I had a poor experience with a previous podiatrist so I'm very happy with this office! I recommend!

Great clinic, wonderful doctor, super nice nurses, and friendly office staff. My dad had a very bad experience with a different doctor, and I recommended this place to him, he was less then enthusiastic about going but after his first appointment, he has found his podiatrist, this one is it for him. They just provide great care.

I have been to see Dr Bauer a few times and I have always been treated with respect and kindness and have always received awesome care. My husband is also a patient and has also received the best treatment. I have nothing bad to say. If you need a podiatrist Dr Bauer is my recommendation.

BRAVO for Eastern Podiatry! First time here, had an excellent experience: from setting my appointment without an excessive wait, to quick paperwork as a new patient, caring receptionists, back office staff, and friendly, professional, no nonsense doctors who are well trained, helpful in their explanations & suggestions. I am a school teacher who is on my feet most of the day, so when I need help with my feet, I don't need care that takes a century to address. I require prompt, exact care & treatment at a fair price. 5 STARS and more if I could give them!
