Walden Healthcare Testimonials
Gary
“We are very happy with Dr Steed and his staff. He has given us the comfort of knowing we are not alone in the fight to help in keeping our disabled son safe and healthy. Knowing we can call on him and his staff at any time of the day or night. If you’re looking for the old school kind of doctor that went into this profession from his heart and not just for the money, Walden Direct Care is the way to go.”

“Dr. Steed is a special doctor. I have had the pleasure of being both a patient and a shadowing student of Dr. Steed at Walden DPC. From both of these perspectives, I have seen that Dr. Steed is a man who cares deeply about his patients and who would do anything to ensure that his patients receive exceptional care. Additionally, Walden DPC is staffed by an exceptional team. This staff is friendly, caring, and professional. Benefitting from this team, Dr. Steed runs a very efficient practice.”

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 got his bachelor’s degree in microbiology and molecular biology at the University of Central Florida in Orlando in 2011. 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.
