    I had a real satisfactory visit with the doctor. I thoroughly trust him and his diagnosis and his opinion and his plan to get my body healthier. I don't think you could do anything ?

      Dr. Egel was one of the best doctors I've ever seen at UKKDMC. He was very thorough. He was very endearing and concerned for my health. And that's something I really appreciate. He examined me, which a lot of the doctors don't even do that. So I would just say that he gets a 200 out of 100. Thank you.

      I liked Dr. Egel and thought he was very thorough. Waiting 1hour and 40 minutes to get to see him is unacceptable.

      As both retired RNs, we have known Dr. Egel for 26 years. He was one of our colleagues when we worked together and one of my very favorite doctors. He delivers the highest quality of care and the kindness and his bedside manner of being relatable. Also, he truly cares about his patients and he demonstrates that by doing absolute thorough examinations and listening to the patients.

      He has been my doctor for 16 years and I wouldn't recommend anyone else but him. As far as I'm concerned, he is the best. Thank you.
