EASTERN HISTORY

Eastern Podiatry has been a staple of foot care in Las Vegas for more than 40 years! Starting with Drs. Schmutz and Smith, Eastern was a small podiatry clinic known as Eastern Avenue Podiatry before moving to Pecos-McLeod in 1996. They popularity and services was growing and a larger space was needed to accommodate the patient flow. As time moved on, Dr. Schmutz retired in 2009 with Dr. Smith close behind in 2016, where Dr. Nguyen and Dr. Dafforn are now your local foot and ankle specialists, offering some of the best foot care in all of Nevada.
