Dr. Eickmann's Reviews

Jud S.
Dr Eichmann is very friendly, professional and knowledgeable. He takes his time to get it right… highly recommended
Anne B.
I was very relieved when I left his office, after he went over X-rays of my knee and explained what they meant. He answered questions I had what exactly was caused my pain.
Before I left he offered me an injection, for which I answered yes! This morning, after just one day my knee feels remarkably better. I feel that I have the right Dr. to lead me forward on treating my knee!
Marsha G.
Very pleasant staff, Dr very knowledgeable and recommended injections which had been effective before.
Debbie J.
Very friendly and helpful staff. Next to zero wait time in lobby or for x-rays. Dr. Eikmann is knowledgable and explains things clearly. He offers options in treatment and takes time to answer any questions you have. Scheduling is quick and easy without having to schedule out weeks in advance. The office area, lobby, and exam rooms are clean and organized. I recommend Dr. Eikmann for anyone having orthopedic issues. I rate with 5 star review!

Dr e was awesome answered all my questions
Julie L.
6 weeks post knee replacement and I remain very grateful to Dr. Eickmann, Bianca and the staff, including Jim Walsh, in physical therapy. Each appointment was professional and informative. Above all, my needs and concerns were not only heard but addressed. The fear of going through the surgery and recovery disappeared during pre-op and has not returned. Thank you Dr. Eickmann, Bianca and PT Jim Walsh, Corey, Ashley and Margo. You are all the best.
Anne S.
I felt I was in the most competent hands having Dr. Eickmann perform my surgery.

I was experiencing pain in my left hip. So I made an appointment with my hip doctor. Dr. Thomas Eickmann who had mitigated my hip in 2016. The staff welcomed me back and I filled out the paperwork. Dr. Eickmann examined me after I had x-rays taken of the hip. He said everything was okay and ordered a couple of tests. He also said that he would wait a couple of weeks and then if I was still hurting to make another appointment.
marilynn Z.
Thorough with X-ray and tests determining the problem. PT recommendation if needed. Friendly staff
Randeen D.
Dr. Eickmann explained exactly what my diagnosis was and how to mitigate pain. He did push me into getting a shot which a previous Dr had suggested since I was not in pain and gave me the option. I appreciate the advice and allowing me to decide.
Julie B.
Dr. Eickmann is top notch.
Lisa S.
Staff was very friendly, doctor got to the point, gave me a shot and 24 hours later pain free. So far so good.
CA S.
I had a left hip replacement with Dr. Eickman 6 weeks ago at Avista hospital. The surgery prep, surgery and post surgery were great. I am now walking miles and doing daily activity without pain and sleeping well again thanks to Dr. Eickmann and his amazing team. Also, my wife, sister in law and mother and law also had knee and hip replacements by Dr. Eickmann - all very successful. I highly recommend Dr. Eickmann.

Sheryl T.
Top notch office staff. Dr. Thomas Eickmann was the best surgeon ever. I had a right knee replacement which was a total success. Getting ready for my left knee replacement and only trust Dr. Eickkmann to do it. The nurses are very thorough and really show they care for the patients.

I have now had a left knee replacement and again by Dr. Eickmann. Couldn't be more pleased. Great surgeon and great staff. My scar on my right knee is barely visible and the left is healing beautifully. If I ever need hip replacement, I'll be seeing him. I tell everyone I know what a great surgeon he is, and I'm hoping my brother goes and sees him for his hip. If you ever need a great orthopedic surgeon, please go see him. Its well worth it!

Margaret L.
Everyone in the office was very friendly. Dr Eickmann answered all of our questions and was able to explain my condition throughly. After spending the last two years believing that the fracture I have cannot be repaired, Dr Eickmann has given me hope that he can fix it. I’m looking forward to working with him and his staff.

Dr. Eickmann, and his team were great! Every aspect of our visit was top notch, and the office seemed to run like a “well oiled machine”. Dr. Eickmann was friendly, personable, and professional. Dr. Eickmann has a good sense of humor, which I found to be refreshing!

I highly recommend him for any prospective patients!

Great experience
John L.
Saw Dr. Eickmann, in the Superior office, he was friendly and confident on evaluating my situation with my right knee replacement, was quick to determine I needed to replace my old replacement due to warring out. Staff was great, MJ on front end, Anastasia & Heidi are great assistants on helping me coordinate CT & MRI scans and answering questions promptly. Dr Eickmann had to refer me to Dr. Lerman to further explore my conditions and evaluates of my knee, which I appreciated. So far so good at this moment prior to my surgery on May 6th 2925 with Dr Lerman in Denver.
Robin H.
Amazing team! Dr Eickman is wonderful.He explained everything to me about my hip replacements. He gave me steroid injections that have taken away my pain for now!

Dr. Eichmann and his team are amazing. He and his staff treat me as if I were a family member. Thoroughly explained his concerns and how we are going to proceed. His medical assistant Anastasia is very attentive and has great follow up skills.
Maralane B.
Very excited to find a Dr. That took the time to explain /detail and work with me and my special needs. Very pleasant staff.
Donna Z.
I received wonderful directions from the receptionist. I had gone to Avista office instead of the new office.
Dr. Eichmann was very attentive and understanding of my problem.
My X-ray Tech was was very pleasant and efficient.
All and all everyone in the office were very mindful of the patient and efficient at their job.
I loved my visit.
Duane C.
Very professional operation. Dr. Eickmann was nice enough, but pretty cut and dried and perfunctory in his explanation of my problem, with little investment in my individual history and strategies for mitigating the condition moving forward, beyond a steroid injection and biking and swimming and maybe OTC's. Did not offer for me to see my own Xrays, and was out of the room before I could ask to see them.
Kathy H.
I really liked Dr. Eickmann! He had a great bedside manner answered all my questions and helped me to understand exactly what was going on and what was contributing to the pain I was having in my knee/leg. I went to him for a second opinion because the other practice I went to Gave me no explanation whatsoever as to what was going on. He took his time and I did not feel rushed. I will definitely go back if I have reason to! The staff was great also, everyone was super friendly! What more could you ask for?
Beth S.
Great staff. Great doctors.

Dr. Eikmsn was terrific I have to have a knee replacement and had lots of questions and he kindly and patiently answered all of them. He instilled a lot of confidence in me about the surgery and gave me excellent recommendations and options about what I can do to push out surgery if I’d like to. Highly recommend!
Lauri M.
Thank you for all you have done for me. You’re the best!
Denise E.
Dr. Eickmann and his team have been fantastic and encouraging throughout my knee replacement and subsequent manipulation to gain better range of motion. I couldn’t have asked for a more accomplished surgeon or better aftercare service. Dr. Eickmann is a true professional and I whole heartedly recommend him! Wish there was a higher than 5 star rating.
Gary W.
Not sure what was going on with my knee, Dr. Eickman figured it out in like five seconds. Awesome knee replaced week 5 feels great He is the best. One year since knee surgery doing great doctor Eickmann is the best!
Gerald D.
Excellent care, equipment and staff.
Sarah M.
Dr Eichmann was amazing. He was friendly and took the time to explain things to me in a way that hadn’t been explained before. He didn’t decide to go straight to surgery. We’re taking a conservative approach and starting slow with my problems
Janet F.
Dr Eichmann and his staff were very professional and open about all my questions. I would recommend them to anyone.
lana A.
Compassionate, professional, does not rush. Have had a great experience every visit!
Mark K.
Clear and concise direction.
Dr Eichman was fully present and sharing of all information to help me with my recovery.
Mom2 L.
Absolutely recommend this doctor. He is down to earth, very qualified, professional and so respectful of all my questions and concerns, yet ... dare I say cool?? His entire setup, staff, assistants,... everything gives you a calm, friendly atmosphere and I have never had a doctor or medical staff after this serious of a procedure that actually calls you personally to check on you, can be easily reached and yet very caring and answers any and all questions and concerns. He explains things in amazing detail but so you understand what he is talking about. Him, Bianca and Heidi have taken such amazing care of me AND my family!! I cannot recommend them enough. SO very happy He was recommended to me. All my family are changing to them.
Steve N.
Had my second knee replacement and I can't believe how much better I feel.
Stanley
OCC was excellent. I had a complete knee replacement. Dr. Eickmann did a fantastic job. I’m doing great after six weeks. I can’t wait to get the other knee replaced. We have it scheduled for July.
Bonnie M.
I would recommend Dr. Eichmann to anyone needing knee surgery. He and his team performed knee surgery on both my knees at the same time. I was almost at the point of needing a wheelchair but after surgery I was back to work and enjoying all forms of daily activity within 7 weeks. I couldn't have done this without him. They are caring, professional, and very supportive! In short, Dr. Eichmann is my Rockstar. I just had an 8-year follow-up visit since my surgery and my knee replacements are holding up beautifully. I'm 100% plus better for having this done. Thank you to Dr. Eichmann and his team for giving me my life back.
carol L.
Very nice doctor.
Scott H
Dr. Eickmann is excellent and has a superb staff!
Randy B.
My experience was great, and it was a simple process at the surgery center. I was well taken care of with all my needs taken care of. Great nursing and friendly personal. When my other knee gets replaced, it'll be this group and Dr. Eickmann doing the surgery.
Jeanne J.
Both Dr. Eickmann and his assistant Heidi were professional and answered all my questions. I was very pleased with my service.
