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.

He is the best ! He always worried about how i am feeling, he always is looking for a better way to help me . I trust him 100 %. And he did my surgery i was 312 and now 162 ??

This man saved my life
I was admitted into the hospital during a flare up of my chronic pancreatitis in 2014. I began to have severe pain in my entire abdomen which isn't normal for me. When my attending Dr dismissed my complaint, Dr. Eckstein ordered a scan. Turns out I was bleeding internally from a ruptured spleen in which he was able to remove. Before all this, he also removed my gall bladder that was severely damaged due to my chronic pancreatitis. He listens to his patients and genuinely cares. The man saved my life.

Missed my port multiple times and drew blood
Unfortunately, Dr Eckstein missed my port (very painful) multiple times after several minutes of feeling my stomach for the port.I got up and asked the Dr to stop before a third painful attempt and left.When I left the room, I noticed lines of blood dripping down to my pants.I went back into the room and the Dr cleaned up the blood (in 6 prior lap band adjustments, I have never had blood generated by the needle) and placed a bandaid on the multiple needle sites.The Dr then stated that he didn’t place the port….a crude attempt to deflect what just happened.If they had zero stars, I would have selected zero.On a positive note, the staff is very nice and accommodating.

I found Dr. Eckstein to be very patient and a great listener for my hernia situation. He spent a great deal of time with me going over my situation and at no time did I ever feel rushed. Unlike many doctors, he listens and respects his patient. If I were to have a procedure done with him, I have great confidence that it would go very well. Highly recommend

I have never had such an amazing experience with a doctor, Dr. Eckstein is a caring and extremely competent surgeon. Add to that, that his staff are the nicest people in person and on the phone. The doctor's call to check on me made me feel so confident and secure about all post surgery reactions. Even his staff called a week later to check on me. When Erica called me on a Sunday, I was blown way, SUNDAY!!! Fabulous Doctor, Fabulous Office, Fabulous Staff!!!!

Dr Jeremy Eckstein was highly recommended to me by several acquaintances to repair a double hernia. From the initial visit, Dr Eckstein far exceeded my expectations. He very clearly explain how the surgery was to be done and the post surgery recovery including any symptoms. The procedure went exactly as he indicated. I could not have been happier. Additionally, his office called me several days after the surgery to see how I was feeling, and asked if I had any questions. I highly recommend Dr Eckstein without any reservation, I am happy to provide him with a FIVE star rating. Thank you Doctor Eckstein.
