Great guy - don’t feel rushed with him
Top care
I was very happy with Dr Eichten and his staff.
Bella is Great!!!!
Doctor Eichten was friendly and answered all my questions. My wait wasn’t long either!
Please consider NOT touching the door or the door handle AFTER you've put on your gloves. Who are you protecting with those gloves before a procedure: the patient or yourself?

I was very happy with Dr. Eichten. His front desk support staff not too much. The woman I checked out with did not make eye contact when speaking with me, just looked at her computer. When asked to provide the explanation for the payment amount expected, was short and curt.
Today I visited Dr Eichten at his Naples office with the intent of discussing a knee replacement. I had lots of questions and he had good answers for everything I asked. I feel comfortable scheduling with him, knowing his process from pre-surgery, through surgery and the follow up therapy. I was impressed with Dr Eichten and his staff.
Dr. Eichten is a great orthopedic surgeon. He is caring and his staff is very attentive.
