I have been seeing Dr. Eckel since 2010, I believe. He has always had extremely kind and professional bedside manner. He is courteous and thorough; I never feel rushed or Unwelcome. His nurse, Kate, is probably the sweetest medical professional I have ever encountered. Dr. Eckel delivered my first child and My husband and I both felt very cared for during our entire time at Dr. Eckel's office and while in the hospital. I would never dream of having another doctor deliver my babies. If I had to pick one downside, it would be that the wait time is usually over 35 min which really bothers me. However, we are always happy once we meet with the staff.
