Absolutely horrendous bedside manner. Too busy to make time for even the most simple of questions. Go elsewhere if you value your time and health!

Dr Eklund is the nicest person. He treats me like a member of his family and my wife says the same about Dr Eklund. I am 80 years old and I know he is the best I have e er seen.

Dr Eklund is a fantastic doctor. Never rushes to get you out during your visits. Takes time to listen to my concerns and always answers all my questions or will get answer, if he doesn’t know. He keeps up to date on latest medicines, and procedures.

For past 5 years, average waiting room time 2-hours. Constant comments about needing to see me more often to help pay for his daughter's education. Office staff extremely hard to work with and very combative.

He is very inquisitive. Asks a lot of questions to get to the route of the problem. Takes all the time thats needed with you (reason for the wait) I value him highly. Have not needed him in the hospital setting yet, but I am sure he will be fine. Takes good care of me,(2 1/2 years) now.
