Happy doctor with patient
Hope R.
Dr. Speer is the best, so caring and kind. Always wants the best for his patients, he goes above and beyond. His staff is very friendly and helpful.

We’re grateful for your trust and are always here to go above and beyond for our patients.
Jeanne B.
I put off calling for over a year because I cannot stand my feet touched. I told everyone I saw in the office I was very uneasy about the appointment. Dr Speer explained everything before he did a thing. He is kind, he listens and I never felt any pain. I recommend him highly especially if you have issues about seeing a podiatrist. Second visit was much easier.
Response from the owner:Thank you for sharing your experience! At ECFAC, we understand that visiting a podiatrist can feel intimidating, and we strive to provide compassionate care that puts our patients at ease. We’re so glad Dr. Speer and our team were able to make your visits comfortable and pain-free, and we truly appreciate your high recommendation!
Peter W.
The staff were very friendly and personable. The facility is extremely nice. Dr. Speer was exceptional! He took the time to listen to all of my conerns, then questioned me in detail to make sure that he could properly evaluate my problems and then patiently outlined and explained the various options that were available to possibly correct my foot issues. He even drew a 'pictorial' to show me one option. I especially was impressed when his first comments/strategy was to focus on non surgical remedies..He made everything very clear and ez to understand. He also spent at least a half an hour with me and never got in a rush...
Response from the owner:Thank you! Here at ECFAC, we’re delighted to hear that you found our staff friendly and our facility welcoming. We’re especially glad that Dr. Speer was able to listen carefully to all of your concerns, ask detailed questions, and explain your treatment options clearly—including using a pictorial to illustrate one of them. It’s wonderful to know that you appreciated his focus on non-surgical remedies and that he spent the time to ensure you fully understood everything. We truly appreciate your thoughtful feedback and the trust you’ve placed in us!
Elizabeth Rector D.
Dr. Speer and his staff are very friendly. Dr. Speer was thorough with examination and explained everything where I could easily understand instead of only using medical terms. Making an appointment was super easy and I did not have to wait weeks to get in to see him like with most specialists.
Response from the owner:Thank you for your kind words! Here at ECFAC, we strive to provide thorough, compassionate care while making the process as smooth as possible for our patients. We’re ecstatic to hear you found scheduling easy, felt comfortable during your visit, and had such a positive experience with Dr. Speer and our staff!
