An Arkansas native, Dr. Michael Eckles has provided Sleep and Pulmonary Medicine at Fayetteville Diagnostic Clinic since 2005 and has been the Washington Regional Medical Center Sleep Laboratory Director since 2008. He is board certified in Sleep Medicine, Critical Care Medicine, and Pulmonary Medicine.
Dr. Eckles completed medical school and residency at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences in Little Rock, AR. He completed his Pulmonary fellowship at UAMS and Sleep Medicine fellowship at The University of New Mexico School of Medicine.
Dr. Eckles truly loves helping his patients improve their health and quality of life. Knowing that he helped someone be able to resume playing their favorite sport, get on the floor with their grandkids, or get a great night’s sleep is an honor.
