Please do not use this dr. He did a diskectomy on my lumbar spine and damaged the sciatic nerve during surgery! I have had 3 more surgeries trying to fix his mistakes! I have been disabled since he did the surgery 15 years ago! He left me in severe numbness and pain down my left leg and foot!! He is the worst dr I have ever met!! I pray no one uses this man!

I used Dr. Eckman for my neck surgery. He had to go in and replace one disc in my neck and fixed a bulging disc. After my neck surgery in 2010, I am still having problems with chronic headaches and chronic severe migraines. I had to spend the night at the hospital at which he did not prescribe any pain medicine to help with my neck surgery. I have to endure for the rest of my life excrusiating pain where he damaged the nerves in my neck. I also found out thru my attorney that one lady he operated on the same day, sued him for damages to her neck surgery. If needing any type of surgery to your neck I would strongly suggest that you seek another doctor.
