I went here a couple of times in the early 90s. Then again in 2013. Dr. Eckel provides terrific care. Anytime I need to do a walk-in for medical care, I go here. Will definitely keep going.

Dr. Eckel works at the Emergency Medical Center place off of 62nd Ave near the mall. He actually founded the place! Anyway, even though they don’t take my insurance I’ve been to see Dr. Eckel 3 different times within the past couple years and have always been pleased. The wait time for an urgent care type place has been amazingly fast and Dr. Eckel is to the point and good with his bedside manner. My boyfriend has been as well and Dr. Eckel was no nonsense as well. He may seem a little hurried, but he is willing to answer any and all questions I think he’s just trying to keep wait times down by keeping a fast work pace otherwise. When I was in for a kidney stone(2x), he didn’t perform any tests he felt were gonna just add on costs but weren’t necessary and for my UTI he had me in and out with an antibiotic prescription that did the trick in no time flat. They are open on Saturdays and each time my visit has been less than my ER copay would’ve been since I couldn’t have waited till Monday to see my regular doctor.
