He explains what is going on with your injury. Explained x-rays
He listened, repeated what I stated, he tested, but took his time. I was able to ask questions. I never felt like I was being rushed, which is so nice.
Calm, cool, confident, and kind. When I mention I'm about to have surgery, random people all over Monterey tell me Dr. Meckle is the best, as well!
Dr Meckel took his time to answer our questions and explained the procedure and recovery process without us feeling we were being rushed in any way.
