Dr. Eichten answered all my questions about going from a partial hip replacement to a full today. I was pleased with his responses and appreciated the extra time he gave me in answering all of my quesrions.

Dr. Eichten is the best orthopedic surgeon in Lee county! Professional, extremely knowledgeable, friendly and caring. I won’t go to anyone else
He was very good and explained everything well.
Outstanding surgeon who listens to his patients, explains all procedures, and thoughtfully answers all questions.
I really enjoyed my appt. with Katherine Snider. She’s very personable and provided excellent guidance and advice.
Dr. Eichten is an above average doctor.
I recently had knee replacement surgery with Dr Eichten. I cannot be more pleased with the choice I made to use Dr. Eichten rather than several other surgeons who were recommended. Dr Eichten was easy to talk with and able to answer all my questions in a way that was completely understandable to me. His staff are also very efficient and professional.
