Dr. Echols is one of the finest Drs I have ever been diagnosed and treated by! He is conservative and wise in his evaluation and treatment plans. He uses his perspicacity in a way that is not seen in today’s medical profession. He takes his time and is thorough in his explanations and teaching! He eschews any obfuscations keeping it simple and concise! The staff follows his lead! I cannot say enough about the friendliness and professionalism that exudes through the culture of the facility! I highly recommend without reservation The Florida Orthopaedic Institute! HCWitte PhD.
