About Rickards Barbara DPM

Dr. Barbara S. Rickards has operated a podiatry office in Melrose, Massachusetts for more than 25 years, specializing in family foot care and non-surgical solutions for foot pain. Dr. Rickards earned her degree from the Ohio College of Podiatric Medicine and holds certification in podiatric orthopedics. Her practice focuses on treating plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendonitis, fractured toes, warts, and ingrown nails without resorting to surgery when possible, guided by the belief that healthy feet and legs shouldn't hurt. She is affiliated with the Hallmark Health System at Melrose-Wakefield Hospital and works with a range of insurance plans, including Medicare, Blue Shield, Harvard Pilgrim, Tufts Health Plan, United Health Care, Unicare, and AARP supplemental coverage. The office maintains a 24-hour answering service so patients can reach the practice outside of regular business hours for urgent questions or scheduling needs.
