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.

Caring, thorough, took all the time needed to diagnose my problem.

Great clinical exam - thank you
I came to Dr. Eckmann to ask for a diagnosis of my injured nerve on left arm and hand caused by blood work drawn in an unprofessional way by a healthcare lab.Dr. Eckmann did a very thorough and detailed clinical exam of my arm and hand and gave me very clear explanation on how the injury must have happened and why it caused the effects I am still suffering from. He took his time to answer all my questions and made his diagnosis even clearer to me by searching a related diagram or picture online. I was very impressed by his procedure and friendliness.I will recommend him to anyone who needs a neurologist appointment.

Excellent—and entertaining!
Dr. Eckmann was a patient listener, a skilled examiner, and a clear communicator about my issue, mercifully not as serious as I had feared. Not only that, he has a great sense of humor—and he can quote Lewis Carroll stanzas from Alice in Wonderland when appropriate! What’s not to like?!

Recommending Dr. Eckmann
As always, Dr. Eckmann was pleasant and helpful as he interviewed my wife, who sees him as a patient. He answered our questions and responded to our concerns with empathy, understanding, and honesty. Insofar as I am able to judge, his recommendations for medications have provided my wife with the best quality of life possible for one in her situation, which we greatly appreciate.

Dr. Eckmann was very attentive and answered all my questions. He explained everything in detail and I left feeling relieved that someone actually took the time to listen and explain my recent tests and my condition. The office staff were also very friendly.

Always There for Me
Listens attentively to me. Whenever I access the portal with any questions or concerns I have, Dr. Eckmann always responds promptly. I have been a patient for approximately 25 years and have always had the most confidence in his judgment. In addition, Dr. Eckmann treated my husband and immediately scheduled various tests to determine his prognosis; this was not done in the past by another Neurologist. He has a very calming personality - keeps me calm.

I had a routine appointment to review my medication and it turned into a lot more. I mentioned some unusual recurring symptoms and Dr Eckmann listened and asked questions. He tried to put me at ease over what might be wrong. I left knowing he would do whatever it takes to find out what’s wrong.
