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.

Prostate Cancer Diagnosis
Dr. Eckroth was very cautious, yet proactive diagnosing my Prostate Cancer. As a result, it was caught early at Stage 1! Her recommendations for treatment options were confirmed by Dr. Jessica Parkhurst, and Dr. Chad Tracy.

She is an excellent Urologist.
I have been going to Dr Ekroth probably 13 years. She has been excellent. I have been dealing with prostate cancer she always is straight forward tell it like it is and explains options well. I would recommend her to anyone in need of a urologist. Their office is easy to get to and always plenty of parking.

Dr Ekroth is compassionate and sensitive, handling concerns with candor and honesty. She can deliver both good news and bad news skilfully and supportively and really feels like she is on your side in getting through whatever Nature throws at you. Highly recommended not just for her skills as a urologist but for her judgement and humanity in exercising those skills.
