Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

did the needful and was kind
She was a kind person, but did not have the empathy to address weight concerns without shaming the child by stating the percentiles in front of the child giving them a skewed body image and eating disorder. I'm glad that providers don't do that anymore.

Working in the medical field, Dr. Eckes is absolutely the best Pediatrician I have ever encountered. She truly cares about her patients even outside of the office. Our children love her, and her manner is professional as she takes each concern and issue with the utmost of care and respect. Thank you, Dr. Michelle Eckes.

We have used Dr Eckes for 7 years with 3 children. She has always been attentive to all our needs. We recently had a child who suffered a head injury. Being after hours our child was taken to an Urgent Care to get medical attention & we took her again the next day (Sat) for additional care. All dr's said she was ok. Followed up with Dr Eckes on Mon and after CT & visits with other dr's were able to determine she had four facial fractures. This would not have been possible w/o dr Eckes. *****
