I’m so sorry I was such a mess. High dose prednisone and I do N🚫T agree!
This morning Dr Meckel and his staff were very kind and helpful, clarifying my hip status and treatment options. His staff assisted me with follow-up too.
A carrying humane doctor. Absolutely interested in the well being of his patient.
12 week hip check up. He’s helping me recover as I’m taking longer than others and found out I have overlapping lower back conditions.
Wonderful doctor! Sits down and listens to his patients. His concern that we understand and feel comfortable is refreshing.
I highly recommend Dr Meckel Very kind and professional makes you feel at ease like you’re in good hands
Dr Meckel listens to what you say and answers all my concerns. He is a great surgeon. I walk great with no problems at all. Thank you Dr Meckel!
Professional always concern and has patience when asked questions Would recommend in a heartbeat
My visit was to share my progress of regaining my mobility after bilateral hip replacement 5 years ago, and educate myself about the limits that I can push while doing so. Dr. Meckel was informative, generous with his time, and pleased by the good outcome of his surgical procedures.
Excellent, valuable dialogue, and advice
