Very professional..Explain issues in very detailed.
Professional, efficient, trustworthy
Dr Echols took his time. Answered all of questions. Gave me the good and bad of knee. But he also gave me hope/confidence which I’ve not had in a long time with my knee!
Appointment was at 1:00 and I wasn’t seen until 3:00 left sitting in a room that was freezing cold and listening to other patients in the waiting area complain about how long they had to wait as well. I left feeling like there was no resolve to my problem
Very thorough, love his humor! Great orthopedic Dr! Highly recommended!
