Maybe not luck but a blessing to have a doctor like Margaret Eckel DO. She is sympathetic, empathetic, and genuinely concerned about my well being. She is a good listener, adviser, and health provider. She works with me to assure I am comfortable in participating in my health care choices and that I understand my options. She is comforting and caring. She is exceptional compared to other physicians I've encountered in my 70 years of life. I am blessed to have her as my primary caregiver.

Dr. Eckel is thorough. She listens to my questions and concerns and answers them without making me feel inferior. I had Cervical Cancer and she found it in my early stage.

Dr. Eckel is very compassionate and dedicated to her patients. It is unusual to see a doctor so concerned about providing what her patients need for over all health. My comfort level is a 10 plus with Dr. Eckel. Care first before anything else. I feel that is the way Dr. Eckel runs her practice,
