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.

Great Doctor
I've been seeing Dr Ecklind for over 6 years. He listens and talks through options and next steps. He sees the whole of me - my test results, my data (weight, etc), and my lifestyle. He uses all of the info to recommend next steps. He's very practical.

Good luck getting a referral or a returned call.
Dr. Ecklind is great, however I've had the worst time getting calls returned by his staff. Once I tested positive for Covid so called in to see what I should do or if there is something they recommended to take. No returned phone call ! I've been trying now to get a referral to my cardiologist for 3 weeks with no success or even the decency to return my several calls. I highly recommend you don't depend on this office for anything !

I have been seeing Dr ecklind for four or five years now. Lucky for me he found my cancer and referred me to the right people to cure me! 100%. Unassuming and down to earth that is how I will describe Dr ecklind. And his staff are second-to-none! Thank you all for taking care of me.

Dr. Ecklind makes you feel secure that you have a great doctor who cares and who is competent, educated and up on the latest. He listens and gives you the time you need to explain why you are there. Then he will tell you what to do. So far he has always been right for me. Even with supplements. I went to him with electric shock like feelings on both sides of my body every time I reached up. He told me what to buy, and from that day on those vitamins took care of it. Amazing and really interesting. I learn a lot about medical issues from Dr. Ecklind. I have been to him for other issues, and all have been taken care of. I am a "senior citizen" and if/when I get something that can't be cured, I want Dr. Ecklind to hold my hand, so to speak, and walk me through it to the end. He's that good. His staff is also caring, efficient, smart and treats you like you are important to them. His new office is really nice. I love Dr. Ecklind, his staff, and his office.

For the second time Dr. and staff waited for us to show up a few minutes after closing. We were coming from a 30 minute distance. They went the extra mile and were gracious and helped my wife with an issue that required an injection and a script. He and his staff are a top notch outfit.

Dr. Ecklind has been my doctor for 5 years now. I trust him with my life. His medical knowledge and compassion are above any others I have ever seen. He takes whatever time you need to help you. He really listens and cares. He has a wider range of medical knowledge than others. He is very smart and kind. I would, and do, recommend him to everyone.
