Dr. Eckart is not like any health care professional I have ever worked with, natural or otherwise. She is intuitive and often knows what I need before I do. Research and being on top of alternatives for optimizing my quality of life and health is a priority to her. Dr. Eckart is realistic about and conscientious about options she is offering that are doable... physically, financially and cogent with my lifestyle. If she is offering something new, a dietary change for example, she's often tried it herself to understand the nuances. I can not speak highly enough about her warmth, caring, and professional ethics. She has continued to build an awesome array of like minded professionals and is the first to offer qualified referrals for particular issues that she feels would be better served elsewhere.
