Dr. Eckert, Angela & her Staff are great. We just had an issue with the Lab that really has both me & my Mom upset.
Thank You for your time and sharing your wisdom.
Dr Eckert is an excellent listener. It is obvious that she is concerned about her patients.
Very pleased
She is so caring and knowledgeable
she is great!
Keep up your good work.
Could not be better in any way
Dr Eckert is excellent and very helpful and responsive to my needs
The best family doctor I've ever been to!
I know she really care about my health and wants the best for me.
Many sincere thanks.
I plan on continuing to seek my medical care with Dr. Eckert & Christus
GREAT!
Dr. Eckert is the standard in which all Christus providers should strive to be. Not only a good physician, but a bedside manner that is almost obsolete in 2024.
Great doctor
all good
Doctor was good.
I like her!
She tries to keep me balanced with my health issues
Dr is great.
Nothing I can really add to what I just said before
Very interactive.
Great!
Excellent service
The only thing that I find somewhat difficult is appointment availability.
Good treatment ‘ very nice Dr.
Assistant called for me exactly at my appointment time. Dr. Came into room about thirty minutes past that.
She came out to my vehicle on a hot day to check me out and didn't seem to bother her at all. She's that caring.
Excellent
Very pleasant Doctor and staff. She listens to her patients and makes sure she has all the information she needs in your chart.
We are blessed to have Dr Eckert for our primary physician.
Good experience
I also prefer her new nurse assistant to the previous nurse.
Feel that Dr. Eckhart really cares about my health.
Love Dr. Eckert.
Dr. Eckert is an excellent physician who cares about her patients.
Very good and cares
Awesome as usual! That's why I use her!
Great bedside manner and very professional.
Excellent bedside manner
Thank you for taking time listen and explain the importance of a few things and why some tests/medications will help. You made me feel comfortable
I wouldn't change a thing about Dr Eckert. She is awesome!
Do not change anything. Thanks
I would recommend Dr. Eckert to my friends and family. I fully trust her opinion with my health.
No problems.
Very pleased
I just had to wait about an hour My appt was at 10:50am. I didn’t see the dr for an hour. I guess you guys are double booking her. It is not Dr Eckert’s fault. And she may have had an emergency call. I know money is the bottom line but my time is valuable. I had to reschedule a business meeting. I am a real estate broker and my clients then had to reschedule their time off from work to go house hunting. Thank you
She is very thorough and listens and responds to my issues with patience.
Dr Eckert is hands down the best doctor I’ve ever seen
I really like the people at christus.
We are very happy and confident with her care and judgment.
Give them a raise
Wonderful experience
She is an answer to prayer when we searched for a new provider after Dr Rogers died.
Very happy to have found Dr. Eckerd.
I wish it wasn't so hard to get an appt. with her.
The wait in the exam room was a little lengthy....about 30-40 minutes before the doctor came into the room.
Excellent care that is sincerely appreciated
Understood my problem and made recommendation to improve
Dr. Eckert is an excellent doctor that listens to her patients.
im very pleased with the care that i received and i always tell people that is worth the wait to see my dr
All is very well with my provider.
Overall very pleased
Dr. Eckert is an amazing doctor.
I could go on & on....do u really want me to?!
Wish could see her more often
Dr. Eckert truly understands what I need and listens carefully to what I am saying.
Everyone was very nice
Sometimes takes awhile to get a prescription renewed.
I like the people working for Christus very much.
Exceptionalism
I’m glad she’s my doc.
Highly recommend Dr. Eckert
You are the best. Thank you.
She is wonderful!
Dr Eckert is the best! And Tammy is excellent also!
Both doctors were wonderful I will be seeing him again soon thank you so very much for your carir
Very understanding.
Excellent provider!
I don’t think I could find a better doctor.
Dr. Eckert is am excellent communicator.
Would like to see the test results
latest script and regimen seems to working better
Trusting my doctor to listen to my questions and concerns is very important to me. I receive that level of care from Dr. Eckert.
I like that she understands that I will see 80 before I see 40 again. Her expectations are reasonable
I couldn’t ask for anything more!
Service excellent
Don’t change a thing!!
Dr Eckert is very good at interpreting what other providers have failed to do.
Can’t say enough about how glad we are to have found Dr. Eckert!
They are all top notched.
Dr. Eckert always listens and asks just the right questions. She does a physical exam and then gives her findings. She will take as much time as I need to feel like my needs are being met. She is always accurate in her diagnosis. She also has a good personality and smiles which makes me feel comfortable.
She cured me
Dr Eckert always explains things and allows me to ask questions.
None.
Keep up the good work
No improvement necessary.
She didn’t rush through visit. Had good suggestions.
We really appreciate the way you are so clear and not in a hurry when you see us.
She helped me understand how to navigate issues of scheduling in an “emergency “
Thanks
She was very nice and explained everything and got back to me with my test results
Excellent!
??
Terri is super caring!

Answered in previous comments.
Very great doctor listening to me snd my problems
Dr Eckert and her nurse Tammy are excellent!
Very pleased.
We get a quick response when we present Dr Eckert with our concern
Also explain what labs or procedure I will need in the near future and why.
She ordered some testing on me that I did not know I even needed them.
You are greatly appreciated
I never got my medicine from my previous visit because the pharmacy said it wasn't available and it kept getting sent back and now after this last visit I guess it's the same thing.
Greatly appreciated.
Very pleased with everything.
I trust my Doctor because she has my best health care in mind! She answers all my questions and explains anything I have or need to know! I appreciate a doctor who informs and cares about what I need to know and understand!
Love the staff and patience
Dr Eckert has my best health as her priority.
one of the best ever (DR.)
Perceptive
She is always calm and patient. Makes us feel welcome in the office and helps us with our medications and other health needs.
Dr. Eckert is always willing to stop and explain things when I ask questions. She never makes me feel ridiculous for asking.
Thank you for showing your care and concern for my welfare.
I will return as needed
I like her very much and would recommend her to my family and friends

Dr Eckert is great!
Dr. Eckert is an all around proficient and personable physician who cares for her patient.
The communication with nursing staff on the phone number for the nurses is poor! They don’t call you back for several days!
I’ve never trusted a doctor as much. I truly feel I get the best care!
She’s a wonderful Doctor.
Wife and I were very pleased with Rebecca
I think I've said enough
I felt that my need was first place with the visit

She did a very good job but as I stated I can't stand going to the doctor.
Thank you
Quite pleased
I look forward to having her as my primary physician.
Everything has been exceptional
Easy to talk with.
When Dr. left the room she took a long time to come back. I finally opened the door and asked if they had forgotten about me.
Plan to use this clinic!
Provided me with all of the info needed to select options for my care.
