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.

Dr Eckel is the best. She spends time with you and never hurries the visit. If five stars is the best I'd give her ten !! Thank you for caring.

I'm 50 years old and have had a few primary care physicians in my time (all of them decent), but Dr. Eckel is above and beyond even what one would expect from a good doctor. Her knowledge, empathy, communications skills, and willingness to be a patient's advocate is something I've never experienced before. She's what medicine would look like in a perfect world. Thank you Dr. Eckel (and staff)!

I love Dr. Eckel. You could not ask for a better family doctor. She is patient, personable, and does not overlook any complaints you share. She will not hesitate to send you to a physician that specialized in the area of your problem. Dr. Eckel cares for her patient as if they were family. She's the G-R-E-A-T-E-S-T!
