Dr Eichten is a fantastic doctor. I was a high risk patient and he took a chance on a knee replacement. I experienced a highly satisfactory outcome. I am walking pain free for the first time in three years. Kudos to Dr Eichten
In my opinion, Dr Eichten is the best Ortho Doctor in the area. Excellent personality and demeanor. He’s replaced my both hips and my right knee within the past 6 years. Absolutely no problems.
Very knowledable, understanding, informative, and shows much concern for the patient. We need more like him.
