Angelia Crause, Patient Testimonial
For years, Angelia Crouse and her family had relied on Dr. Michelle Eckert for general surgeries including colonoscopies. “I always felt confident knowing I had a skilled general surgeon looking out for me,” Angelia explained. For a while, her colon issues were treated successfully with medication and routine checks, but in October of 2023, when diverticulitis and other complications became unmanageable, Dr. Eckert recommended robotic surgery to address the problematic section of her colon. Without hesitation, Angelia agreed—her trust in Dr. Eckert was unwavering, and she felt assured it was the right decision.

Thanks to Dr. Eckert’s precision and the many advantages of robotic surgery, Angelia’s recovery was remarkably swift. During the 6-hour procedure, approximately a foot of her colon was removed, yet the small incision allowed her to leave the hospital after just two nights. To the amazement of her friends and family, Angelia was back at work as a high school counselor in only two weeks and feeling healthier than she had in years.
Dr. Eckert’s dedication to her patients stood out to Angelia as exceptional. From her expertise to her genuine care, Angelia expressed immense gratitude for the treatment she received at Jefferson Regional. To Angelia, Dr. Eckert wasn’t just a surgeon—she was someone who truly changed her life for the better.
