I thought I was heading for a second hip replacement when Dr. Eichmann suggested other avenues available to solve my issue. I appreciate his willingness to speak candidly to search out the appropriate solutions . I will definitely use his services in the future should the need arise.

I am returning to Eickmann for a third surgery (unrelated to my first two) so that says everything. Two knee replacements and a hip replacement. Eickmann was recommended to me by one OR nurse and two PTs. Professionals who see the results of his work day in and day out. He is an excellent surgeon and gives you the information you need to make an informed decision. No nonsense. All business which I like in my surgeon. My first surgery with him was 7 years ago and the outcome was excellent. He is all about outcomes which is what any patient wants.

The lidocaine and cortisol shot have been very effective. Very happy Dr. Eickmann suggested this approach. 6 - 12 weeks is the likely length of time for this remedy. May be doing this again this spring?

After having my left hip replaced several years ago, I've been putting off having my right hip replaced, despite the increasing pain and increasing disability to do normal daily tasks. Having now met with Dr. Eickmann, I feel much more confident about having this surgery performed. Dr. Eickmann listened to my concerns, discussed my previous experiences, and answered my questions fully, so I now feel confident and prepared to have my hip replacement. Dr. Eickmann answered all my questions with thorough explanations, and discussed all of my options, explaining and contrasting the potential surgical approaches available, thus helping me now feel fully confident that, despite my having osteoporosis, I can now look forward to this hip replacement having a positive outcome, and a shorter recovery period than my previous hip surgery. Working with Dr. EIckmann, I fully expect to be able to resume my normal activities and regain my life style. My brother and his wife have both had multiple surgeries performed by Dr. Eickmann, and they are thrilled to hear that I have chosen him as my hip surgeon.

Dr Eickman and his surgical team were amazing. The only pain I’ve really experienced from my full knee replacement has been therapeutically induced in the recovery process. The therapy group at OCC is equally awesome.

I have no words to express how grateful I am to this team! Due to my previous insurance carrier, I kept getting denied for a knee replacement that I desperately needed. Luckily, my insurance changed and I was referred to Dr. Eickmann! I have to be honest, I was scared to death to have this procedure, you hear so many bad stories. My experience was not awful in the least! Dr. Eickmann and his team provided a life changing service to me. Ive had zero issues since surgery, which was Feb 9th. Pain for me was MINIMAL, uncomfortable, sure, but they set you up for success with the pain management. My scar looks amazing too! The entire staff of OCC was, is GREAT! I truly appreciate all they have done!

Dr Eickmann did bilateral knee replacements for me Fourteen years ago that worked out amazingly well. In the last four months, he has done hip replacements on both sides . I would not go to any other doctor anywhere. If I needed his services. He explained everything that was going to happen.How it was going to work And what I should expect for outcome, and all three times it exceeded what he told me. I had zero pain with the hip replacements within about five days of surgery. I did not even use my full allotment of pain pills either time. The doctor is worth ten stars.As is the whole staff there.

Dr. Eickmann was awesome. I went in to get my hips evaluated and learned that I had severe arthritis in both hips, but did not require surgery at this time. He also checked my knee that I had injured, and told me that it was stable and just bruised. Thank you very much Dr. Eickmann.

Cordial, extremely informative. I felt relaxed as he did not rush and gave plenty of time to answer my questions. He appears very conservative about recommending surgery and said that based on tests and our discussion that I did not need surgery at this time.
