How Our Independence Benefits Our Patients

ECHO is owned and led by doctors as an independent private practice committed to serving patients in our community. We are not part of large hospital systems. Remaining an independent private practice in this rapidly evolving and competitive landscape is difficult. But private practices that continue to remain independent share a common goal. These practices and their providers are united by a passion for quality patient care that is accessible, cost-effective, and unburdened by layers of health system bureaucracy.

What does that mean for our valued patients…

  • Exceptional care delivered by nationally recognized “Top Doctors
  • More cost-effective care with no facility, administrative, or hidden fees
  • All the services you need, in one convenient location
  • Access to the nation’s leading clinical trials
  • A practice where everyone knows your name
  • Care right in your community
  • A commitment to get you scheduled quickly, with no referral needed
  • A dedicated support team to guide you
  • The latest treatment options delivered in a comfortable setting
  • No bureaucracy
  • Where you are treated like family, not a number

You have a choice when it comes to your care – Go where doctors own and lead a practice and always put the patient first!
