I am pleased to write this reference for Dr. Echols, an exceptional physician whose dedication to patient care and comprehensive approach sets him apart in the medical field. From my first appointment with Dr. Echols, I was struck by his compassionate demeanor and attentiveness. He took the time to thoroughly explain my condition in a way that was easy to understand, ensuring I felt informed and empowered about my health decisions. His ability to listen and address my concerns made a significant impact on my experience as a patient. What I found particularly refreshing was Dr. Echols’ commitment to exploring all possible treatment options before considering more invasive procedures. Instead of immediately recommending surgery, he developed a thoughtful game plan that prioritized conservative treatments. This not only demonstrated his depth of knowledge but also his respect for my preferences and well-being. Dr. Echols exemplifies the qualities of an outstanding physician.
Excellent care as always!
Great doctor. Very polite, great manners & very good demeanor. He listened to what I was informing him of my medical issues gave me his diagnosis. He explained what is going on with my shoulder. He has relieved some of my pain.
Consummate professional. Thank you Dr. Echols
Dr. Echols replaced my right shoulder 4 years ago. Amazing results but unfortunately I fell and fractured the bone. He gets to apply his professional, pleasant talents toward my recovery again. He is an amazing doctor.
He listens and makes me feel my issues are important and healing possible.
He’s great
Fantastic Doctor
Pleasant and caring
Dr Eddy was professional, warm and engaging. He listens to my concerns and did an evaluation to assess my condition. We then had a conversation and further test. We have a plan in place for my healing.
