Impressive. It was a pleasure to meet Dr Eckart. I found him most knowledgeable, courteous, professional and he put me ease with his discussion of an upcoming procedure I am having. His staff and RN Nancy Anthony were especially helpful. Please express my sincere appreciation to Dr Eckart and RN Anthony.
Thank you.

He is hard to get into see him, but the man knows his stuff and I won’t go to any other cardiologist.

I had a pacemaker installed March 20. Went to see Dr Class last week for my follow up his first words were it is time for your pacemaker replacement surgery which dr Eckart had never notified him it was done. Later in the day I received a phone call where the procedure was done which was Englewood. I have been trying to reach his nurse Nancy to no avail because I am still in discomfort with my left shoulder and back. I haven’t seen or spoken to him
