About Me
I am an orthopedic surgeon specializing in treating patients for foot and ankle issues. I perform a variety of procedures, including ankle replacement surgery, foot deformity correction, minimally invasive bunion surgery and Achilles tendon repair and reconstruction. I also address ankle instability and offer ankle cartilage repair and restorative procedures.
My experience includes many years spent caring for members of our armed forces. I served three deployments supporting military campaigns in Iraq and Afghanistan. I also maintained one of the busiest foot and ankle practices within the military, with a focus on total ankle replacement and minimally invasive techniques, at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. I also served 10 years as the orthopedic foot and ankle consultant to the White House Medical Unit. I have also co-authored 20 articles in peer-reviewed journals and seven book chapters.
I received my medical degree from The Ohio State University College of Medicine, and I’m thrilled to return to the college as an associate professor of Orthopaedics and help educate the next generation of surgeons and leaders. I am passionate about resident education and training and have taught medical students and orthopaedic residents for the past 15 years.

Consulting and Related Relationships
At The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, we support a faculty member’s research and consulting in collaboration with medical device, research and/or drug companies because a faculty member’s expertise can guide important advancements in the practice of medicine and improve patient care. In order to provide effective management of these relationships, the University requires annual disclosures from all faculty members with external interests related to their University responsibilities.
As of 09/30/2024, Dr. Eckel has reported no relationships with companies or entities.
