Thank God she's retired. God who knows how many people she caused pain to. Thankfully, I now have a healthy 7-year-old (naturally with no intervention or fertility treatments), and I credit that to stepping away from Dr. Ecklund's care and finding providers who truly listened. I'm currently under the care of a physician affiliated with El Camino Hospital and Bay Area Maternity, and the difference in attentiveness and support has been night and day. I would not recommend Dr. Ecklund, particularly for anyone dealing with sensitive or complex reproductive health issues. While she was helpful when I first saw her nearly a decade ago, my later experiences raised serious concerns about the level of care provided. Over the years, I experienced four miscarriages. After the first, Dr. Ecklund was completely unreachable, and another doctor had to step in. During my second miscarriage, she did not follow appropriate protocols, such as conducting a full panel of hormone tests -- something I ultimately had to advocate for myself. Most recently, after discovering I was pregnant again, I reached out promptly, given my history. Despite previously telling me to notify her immediately in such a case, her office stated she would not see me until 8-10 weeks. While this may be standard for most pregnancies, it is not appropriate for someone with recurrent pregnancy loss. Fortunately, I was able to find a more responsive and compassionate provider, recommended by a friend, who saw me right away. In addition to the lack of individualized care, I felt there was an overall emphasis on promoting fertility treatments rather than investigating the root causes of my miscarriages. After my second loss, Dr. White -- covering for Dr. Ecklund at the time -- strongly pushed IVF, despite the fact that I had been able to conceive naturally each time after only a few months of trying. It felt less like a thoughtful recommendation and more like a rushed, sales-driven approach. Finally, I find it concerning that my original review on Yelp appeared to have been hidden or removed without explanation, requiring me to repost it. I believe it's important that patients are able to share honest experiences, especially when it comes to critical matters like reproductive health. read more

Many years ago when I was pregnant with my youngest, I had transferred to her in Sunnyvale. I had gestational diabetes with my previous pregnancy. However, time went on and I attended a group for pregnant women with gestational diabetes and learned that they had been tested for gestational diabetes earlier in their pregnancy than me at the stage after I had transitioned to her. However, from my recollection I asked her why she hadn't referred me for testing and she acknowledged she should have but she would at that time. It turned out after testing I did indeed have gestational diabetes but it was not being addressed unless I had asked her for testing. I later tried to address with my diet monitored by a type of dietician but ended up taking insulin. When I called the managing doctor or director at that time he initially heard me out. He agreed she should have had me tested earlier but then asked me curtly, is your baby alright? I said as of now yes. Then he stated curtly again, "well then?" In such a cold tone. I was taken aback. I ended reporting to my insurance carrier and they took the report. She was nice in terms of her bedside manner. However, whether due to being busy or whatever the case there is no excuse for the oversight especially given my pregnancy complication from my previous pregnancy. read more

I'm so sad to learn that Dr. Eckund retired! She delivered both of my babies, in 2019 and 2021. I'm going to miss her as my OBGYN for her bedside care, attention to detail, and overall, warm, friendly demeanor. read more

This review is only for her availability. She is never available. Even if you need urgent appointment, her first available is after about a month and a half out or even more. I personally love her diagnosis etc. but you can not have her as your only OBGYN. She is NEVER available. read more

I waited 3 months to see Dr Ecklund as a new patient based on various reviews regarding her. She is in-demand and for good reason. Dr Ecklund saved my life. I was having what I thought was post-menopausal pain and possible fibroids. All my tests came back normal, however, Dr Ecklund thought something was amiss and that my uterine lining was thick for a woman my age (54 at the time). She referred me to the equally phenomenal surgeon Dr Albert Pisani. It was advised I have a hysterectomy to remove anything that might be pre-cancerous. Turns out I had Stage 3 endometrial cancer. This all happened 10 years ago. I thank the talented medical team that saved my life. I highly recommend Dr Ecklund. read more

Dr. Ecklund is one of the best doctors I've ever had! She's extremely patient, kind and professional and really cares about her patients. She always has her smiles on her face and I felt really happy to see her every time I had my visit. She's also very knowledgeable and responsive for all the questions I asked. She's my No. 1 choice when selecting OBs in PAMF since Day 1, and I'm now having my second baby but so sad to know she will no longer practice after this year...good thing is at least I can still see her till the end of the year. Best wishes to her and her family, and hope she stay healthy and happy forever! read more

I was very fortunate to have Dr. Ecklund as my OBG. I first came to Dr. Ecklund 2 years ago with a case of multiple miscarriages. She was very supportive ,understanding and proactive to make sure to run all the tests before we finally conceived our daughter. During the pregnancy, she was very involved and answered all our questions and concerns. She is has a warm and compassionate personality and genuinely cares about her patients. What impressed me the most about her is her proactiveness and seeing beyond the obvious. I was diagnosed with preeclampsia in the third trimester, and she took extra care and precautions to ensure things were in order. Because of her proactive attitude, I was able to deliver my daughter healthy. I would recommend Dr. Ecklund whole heartedly and am definitely coming back to her again. read more

I'd like to update my review for Dr. Ecklund now that I'm expecting my first child. As a newbie parent, I am nervous and rather ignorant about pregnancy and childcare. I ask a lot of dumb questions to be honest. :) But Dr. Ecklund is so reassuring, caring and competent that I feel much more at ease whenever I speak to her. Her response times are prompt too. At each of my OB visits, Dr. Ecklund walks in the room knowing my exact medical history. I don't know about you - but I've had doctors in the past who had to refer to my file multiple times or ask a ton of questions during my visit. Dr. Ecklund seems to really know and care about her patients. As a GYN, she is great too - though you'd just have to wait awhile to get an appointment since priority is given to us preggo ladies. And of course as an OB she is fantastic! read more

Dr. Ecklund is the most compassionate and sincere doctor I've ever met. She's very comforting and has the warmest personality. She'll take the time to get to know you and will answer all your questions. I absolutely adore her for her warm personality. Her nurses are just as friendly and sympathetic. I've only met her once but she made a strong first impression. I'm definitely going back for my annual exams. She impressed me so well that I chose her husband to treat my sports injury a year later. read more

Words can't even begin to describe the wonderful experience I had with Dr. Ecklund during my pregnancy. I was fairly new to the area and didn't have an OB/GYN yet when I got pregnant. Luckily I found Dr. Ecklund due to her excellent reviews on several sites. She is just a wonderful person - empathic, professional, caring - she's the benchmark that doctors should be striving for. We couldn't have been luckier than to have her as our doctor. She did not deliver me but every single doctor that I met from her team was just fantastic, especially her partner, Dr. Truneh who was on call for most of my birth and was AMAZING! I'm sad I only get to see Dr. Ecklund once a year now that my beautiful baby was born! You will be lucky to have her!! read more

I've been Dr. Ecklund's patient for over a year now, and it's been quite a whirlwind. She helped us through the devastation of a miscarriage and then a successful pregnancy right afterwards. Not only is Dr. Ecklund a fantastic doctor, she was also so supportive and understanding during the emotional ups and downs of this last year. I'm so glad she's my doctor and I look forward to her delivering our next child too! read more

This review has been long overdue. This doctor was oncall OB when I had an emergency. I was in extreme pain and diarrhea. She triaged it as gas, yelled at my husband to tell me to be strong. We called back again as I was getting worse. She again yelled saying I need to stop fussing. She never once said go to Emergency. 5 hours later, I was semi-unconscious, called 911 and then underwent emergency surgery for internal bleeding. PAMF is the worst for Obstetrics, especially in early weeks - they provide zero care. read more

I have been Dr Ecklund's patient for past 7 years. She has seen me struggle through and finally get pregnant naturally. Even though she wasn't the one who delivered my son, she made sure she came to see us very next day. She is empathetic, patient and I always feel I am talking to a friend. I trust her diagnosis and find her to be very knowledgeable. I am pregnant with my second one, I came to know she is closing her practice. It took me some time to accept that I won't be seeing her now. I wish her the very best for everything. She has been one of the best doctors I have come across. read more

I have been a patient of Dr. Ecklund for 3+ years and she is wonderful. She is just as skilled clinically as she is surgically. She is patient, thorough, and kind. There isn't much more you can ask for from a doctor. Each time I see her I feel like I have the dual benefit of seeing an excellent physician and caring friend. I feel lucky to have been under her watch for the past few years and I can't recommend her enough. Dr. Ecklund if you are reading these reviews, know that you are AMAZING. We all so appreciate you. read more

Dr Eckland was fantastic and delivered our babies. She was not our primary OB. However when we were admitted into the hospital, she was the on-call dr. Even checked up on us the next day just to make sure everything was alright. read more

She is wonderful!! If I still had Blue Cross I'd have her as my OB/GYN until this day but sadly, I do not. She has delivered both of my children. She was very concerned about my whole pregnancy and everything else after. read more

I am really not a person who actively writes reviews but I had to write about Dr Ecklund! When I moved to California, I did not have an OBGYN and picked her based on reviews and I am so glad that I did. She helped me through my second pregnancy and delivery.Besides the fact that she is the most warm, compassionate, intelligent and funny doctor I know, even when things are not going very well, she has a very warm way of saying the truth the way it is. She is very responsive to all online queries and answers questions supported with scientific facts. I'd recommend her to anyone I know! read more

At first I was not sure about this doctor, she seemed so young as if she just graduated =). But I was wrong, she was knowledgable, pleasant to work with, and best of all, really cares for her patience. She walked me through a miscarriage and a healthy pregnancy and delivered our baby girl, I couldn't thank her enough. I am running back to her for my next pregnancy! read more

I did a lot of research for the best OB as soon as I found out I was pregnant and i can confidently say the 5-star reviews about Dr Ecklund were 100% accurate! From the moment she walked into the room, I instantaneously felt reassured and at ease about the pregnancy. She not only explains things thoroughly but with a lot of care and thoughtfulness. Dr Ecklund was so personable and the perfect balance between scientific guidance and practical advice. She spent almost an hour answering all of our questions, and obviously loved her job and loved helping parents have the best birthing experience possible! read more

Dr Ecklund is the most professional and compassionate doctor that I have had. She treats me as if I was family. She is attentive to my needs, listens to my concetns and always is patient with me during the visit. read more

Dr Hung Ecklund is really fantastic. I was really very impressed for the first time when I met her and the way she clears my questions, I felt like that I am at the right place. She is very caring and friendly. She is the best doctor I have ever met. She encouraged me a lot before my pregnancy and supporting me a lot now in my pregnancy. read more

Today I had my first appointment with her. She was very friendly and very professional. She answered all my questions patiently, and gave me a sheet with more detailed info regarding my questions at the end of my visit. She also accepted my requests regarding some tests that normally are not required. I think I found my long-term obgyn in Bay area. read more
