Great surgeon who provided a great service
Dr. Meckel was very friendly and easy to speak with. He asked a lot of questions and listened very intently to help diagnose my condition from the symptoms I described.
He was very concise, professional and actively listened to my concerns. He even referred me to a hand specialist. It is refreshing to have a caring physician. I am a retired RN and would highly recommend him to anyone. He is an outstanding Clinician.
Dr. Meckel is above and beyond the best Orthopedic doctor ever!
Dr. Meckel is an excellent listener, is thorough and clear in his explanations of my medical issues and proposed treatments, is caring and compassionate, and is a very nice person. Five stars!
