Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Gender Affirming Care
Everyone was really friendly and welcoming as soon as I walked in. Dr. Eckert was also extremely helpful as well as really friendly, I felt way more comfortable even though I was at first extremely nervous. The process of first seeing each other didn’t feel long at all, even when he was asking a lot of questions. Dr. Eckert was also always open for questions from patients, and very ready to answer any of them. I can’t recommend them more for queer people and health care right now.

I have had only the best experiences with Dr. Eckert. They truly ahead of their time by practicing patient centered medicine and serving marginalized communities. They also combine western and eastern medical approaches to fit each patient. Finally, Dr. Eckert goes above and beyond for all of their patients to make sure you get what you need in or out of the appointment. I'm so happy to have them in my corner!

Dr. Eckert is phenomenal!! It's quite obvious that the patient is the number one priority. On top of that, your experience with Dr. Eckert is well tailored to fit your individual needs AND they don't run behind so you dont waste your day in a waiting room.
