I had a recent surgical procedure performed by Dr. Eckert. I was extremely anxious before surgery but her knowledge and confidence made me feel better right away. She took very good of me and listened patiently to any concerns I had. I have complete faith in her ability and surgical skills. Can't recommend her highly enough.

May be a good surgeon, but my experience wasn't very good. Don't plan to use her again!

she is truly a heartless individual when it comes to human beings feelings as well as the overall performance after surgery has been performed she could care less if you don't have a certain type of insurance or if you're on a fixed income you try to pay your bill and they won't even accept the small payment that you make in order to clear your bill they would rather send you to a collection company she is a piece of work and I would recommend her services to anyone

After being struck by an SUV while riding an RTV my daughter was air lifted to Jefferson Regional Medical Center and placed in SICU. Dr Eckert was her Dr. She prepared us for what was to come and spoke to us as a human being, not just a Dr. She asnwered any questions we had, some several times!My daughter is doing great and I credit Dr Eckert for much of this!Wonderful DR!
