Dr. Eckel is originally from Lancaster, PA, where he studied chemistry at Franklin and Marshall College. After graduating in 1996, he attended the University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine, receiving his D.M.D. in 2000. Immediately after graduation, he packed his bags for the U.S. Army Dental Corps, where he spent five more years as an Army dental officer in such varied locations as Colorado, Germany, Iraq, and Arlington, Virginia. After his military service, he searched for the ideal town to raise his family and pursue his dental career, finding Medford, New Jersey, to be the perfect fit. He joined Dr. Bill Bisignano and Dr. Andy Stone in 2005 and has enjoyed providing world-class dental care to South Jersey families ever since.
When not at the office, David loves spending time with his family. David’s wife, Allison, is a loving and devoted mother to their two children, Thomas and Lillian, who attend school in the Medford school district. Allison is also a tireless volunteer in numerous community organizations, including the Medford Education Foundation, an independent 501(c ) 3 non-profit dedicated to supporting education initiatives in Medford’s K-8 schools.
In their off time, the whole family loves to ski the mountains of Vermont at Smuggler’s Notch, their home away from home. David also likes to indulge in his love affair with motorcycles by either restoring them in his garage, or riding them on the sandy lanes of South Jersey.
