Todd Eichelberger was born in Salt Lake City, Utah and moved to Florida, where his parents were born and raised, at the age of 12. He has a great love of mountains and 4 seasons as a result of where he was born, but he’s also technically a third generation Floridian.
He graduated from Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine in Bradenton, FL in 2015 and family medicine residency at Ocala Regional Medical Center in 2018. He was a respiratory therapist at Dr. Phillips hospital in Orlando for 4 years while earning his undergraduate degree.
He and his wife live in Ocala, FL with their 4 children (all 5 of whom are also native Floridians!). School, soccer games, and gymnastics keep the family busy.
Dr. Eichelberger’s professional interests include therapeutic patient-doctor relationships, family dynamics, mental health, and preventive health, especially following a sensible but enjoyable diet, and regular exercise.
Personal interests include service of God, family, and neighbor, music creation and appreciation, lifelong learning, and developing understanding of our differences as people as well as the things that bind us all together.
