Aric J. Eckhardt Plastic Surgeon MD, S.C

I found Dr. Eckhardt to be a normal guy who is a perfectionist and it shows in the detail of his work. At three weeks out from my belt lipectomy, the scars are already pencil line thin!! He's an artist and his dedication to body sculpting is nothing short of amazing!!

I saw Dr. Eckhardt for a consult on July 2, 2003 and was very impressed with him. The only problem I am finding now is that is office had not sent out my letter of predetermination, so it has been over a month and I still have no idea if my insurance will pay for the procedures. Onec I get approval, I know that I will be happier with his office staff, but I feel that they were talking down to me a bit when I called to check up on if the letter had been sent, and it was not until I talked with my insurance company and theyinformed me that they had not received the letter that Dr. Eckhardt's office even told me that they had not sent it out yet.

I am having my tummy tuck on November 11th and I am pretty nervous about it. I feel as if I am in capable hands though and have faith in Dr. Eckhardt's work. 11/19/03 Now that I have had my surgery with Dr. Eckhardt, I would refer him to everyone I know. He has an excellent bedside manner and is very easy to talk to. He is a perfectionist and I am very pleased with the surgery. Thank you very much Dr. Eckhardt!

I felt very comfortable with him. He is a perfectionist! And when your paying those kind of prices, they should be!

Dr. Eckhardt came to our GB Support Group, he brough slides, he answered questions, he explained things every well. Just I met w/him to go over my TT, Thigh Reduction, Breast Lift, Breast Implants, and Removal of Excess skin on the sides of my body. I spent 2 1/2 hours in his office, he has you watch video's of your choice of surgery, he makes you feel comfortable. I had a rash and odor due to the apron of my stomach i was very embarrassed he made me feel very at ease. When I went into his office I was very scared and nervous, leaving his office I was so excited and had no fears. I can call him if i have any other questions, write them down and wait until my next appointment what ever i feel is the best. He was there for my needs 110%. I am very empressed w/ Dr. Eckhardt.

2/1/03 I recently had my Tummy Tuck done by Dr. Eckhardt. What a wonderful Dr. as well as a wonderful man. He walked me through everything he was going to do and basically held my hand through the proceedure. He has always been there when i need answers and excellent Plastic Surgeron!

3/19/03: Had my Tummy Tuck done on 1/13/03. I couldn't have asked it go any better, yes I was in pain, would I do it again, as long as I had Dr. Eckhardt doing it. I had a dual surgery (female problems) along with my Tummy Tuck so I feel that I might have been in a little more pain than normal, along with the fact that he took the incesion around towards the back, he apprently felt that it wasn't going to look right stopping where he thought he might, that to me shows that he takes pride in his work!!! I just saw him not too long ago and mentioned to him, I would even recommand him to work on my grandmother, thats how confident I am with him. Please don't hesitate to email if you have questions! I'm open.
