Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Ego instead of proper treatment.
Dr. Eck needed to send my Father to an endocrinologist, instead he kept unsuccessfully treating him for type 2 diabetes. My Father ended up in the hospital. Dr. Qasim, who took over after Dr. Eck left the Family Practice on County Rd. 6, immediately referred my Father to Dr. Knight, an endocrinologist and that turned everything around for my Father’s health. Know your limitations. My Father needed a specialist.

Dr Eck is now with the VA St Joe County. I've seen him 3 times. He gets more amazing evertime I see him. He is humble, patient, caring, social, great listener, organized and really cares about the Vet. I'm so fortunate to have him as my VA DOC. Five stars is not enough.

Quite simply, if it wasn't for Dr. Eck, I would not be alive today, and writing this review, that was back in the mid 1990's. I have nothing but the utmost respect for this man as a Doctor.

So grateful that Dr Eck moved to his new office. Love the ER option and staff is quick and professional. Dr. Eck always takes time with my family when we come in and listens well. Pharmacy right there is excellent and convenient and matches any price in town. Going to the doctor is not what anyone wants to spend time doing but Dr Eck and his staff make it as pleasant as it can be. Absolutely the best in town.

I have been going to Dr Eck for several years and he always spends plenty of time with me going over my questions and I never feel like I'm being rushed. He has always been very nice and most of the time it is very easy to get an appointment to see him. His nurses are great too.

The new urgent care Family Medicine has long waits for telephone assistance, medication refill took 1 hour of listening to our callers will be assisted in the order in which the call was received. My first visit had a very long office wait. With very little Physician time. I was very unhappy with my first visit to the new building. 2 hour wait to see the Doctor.
