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.

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.

Dr. Eickmann performed a complete knee replacement on my left knee on May 8, 2024. His office arranged for home physical therapy for two weeks. I regained use of my knee within those 2 weeks. I continue with therapy. On my 2 week appt. the staples were removed easily and I was treated very well. Everyone was pleasant. I saw Dr. Eickmann at 6 weeks and he was so kind and pleased with my progress. I would recommend him with the highest regard to his surgical skills and after care.

Thanks to Dr. Eickmann and his wonderful staff, for a successful left total hip replacement! My recovery was rapid and complete, with full clearance to resume normal activities at the 6-week follow up exam. I am so grateful for this opportunity to regain mobility and quality of life!

Compared to other procedures that I’ve had another doctor visits this facility is top-notch. My only suggestion would be to have a summary of surgery time frames because patients have a tendency not to remember everything they are told.

I appreciate the comprehensive care I received. Dr Eickman took the time to reassure me about my condition, asking questions and letting me know what to look for. I was able to ask questions and didn't feel rushed. I felt heard. Thank you!

I was referred to Dr. Eickmann by my primary care physician, and he was a lifesaver. Best doc I’ve ever had. My situation was complex in that I had a lingering hip infection that was from my original replacement 12 years ago. Note… he was not the original orthopedic surgeon. He took my case, asked me tons of questions about my history, and problem solved the situation which a bit messy. He was not only technically a master orthopedic surgeon, but he genuinely cared that we get the problem resolved and that I get my life back. He also has an amazing team who also care deeply about his patients. If there were 10 stars I’d click that option!

Dr. Eickmann performed a hip replacement surgery on me and I couldn’t be happier. All the years of suffering from what I thought was sciatica was really my hip and once I got my hip replacement all the sciatic pain went away and I am now walking with no assistance, no pain and this has been life changing for me (two days after surgery!) I have Dr. Eickmann and his team to THANK for everything they did and they are so caring and amazing with my aftercare and physical therapy that I recommend anybody needing a hip replacement to consider Dr.Eickmann and team. Thank you to this team for giving my life back to me! So So happy!!

Dr. Eickmann is truly my hero. I couldn't walk without crutches for nearly 3 years. When I showed up in the ED at Lutheran I knew it would be a feat to replacement my hip and maybe or maybe not it would be successfully done. I am now 6 weeks or of surgery walking like a champ and I owe him my life. Thank you doctor for giving my life back again. You will be making a mistake if you choose another doctor.

I first met Dr. Eickmann to seek a 2nd opinion on balance issues I was having after hip replacement surgery. New x-rays showed a problem he felt he could correct with additional hip surgery, which I had Jan. 3, 2024. After 6 weeks on a walker, I will return to physical therapy, and I anticipate my balance will slowly return. Dr. Eickmann has a straightforward manner, made me no promises but expressed confidence that I will get better. He has a great team who are working with me. I can highly recommend him.

I have had several joint replacements and numerous other procedures. Dr Eichmann and staff are always very prompt, kind and knowledgeable. Also the ladies at the front reception are so sweet. I highly recommend OCC!! They have literally kept me walking.
