Should’ve came a long time ago. I’ve been suffering with knee pain and one shot made the difference. I’ll be back in two weeks for the other knee. Thank you, Doc.
Dr Meckel is great! My surgeries of hip and knee are flawless. And he is a wealth of helpful information ln other medical issues.
I have appreciated that Dr. Meckel has always been open to answering any questions I have regarding my hip surgery with clear, succinct information.
Love this practice but office visit was over an hour and a half. We were offered to be rescheduled but it’s hard since I had to schedule my ride so far in advance, so we waited.
I just loved his bedsides manners and knowledge . He gave me all the resources to help me to better my situation.not making me feel like there was no other option out there for me.
Expert care with a surgeon and surgical team that inspires confidence for both me, the patient, and my coach/caregiver. Thank you, Dr. Meckle.
He is the best
Very thoughtful and engaging. Thorough answers to all my concerns. Addressed issues I had not yet considered.
Christopher was great. My problem is he is over booked. This was the 2nd and last time ill be seeing him. My first appt was at330 and I didn't get out till almost5pm.again today I was there at 1115 as requested for my appt at 1130. I called the main desk at 1214 that's still hadn't been seen. This is insane. I have never had appt run this late. In the future for any appts I will call ahead to find out if the doc im seeing is on time or running late. If they are running more than 20 minutes late, I will cancel and reschedule. My sppt took all of 8 to 10 minutes. Stop over booking.
Took his time explaining everything. First class
