A native of Klamath Falls, Oregon, Dr. Eccles graduated from Klamath Union High School.  Starting medical school in Pomona, CA, he completed all of his clinical training in Portland, Oregon.  Dr. Eccles served 14 years as General Medical Officer for the National Health Service Corps including Indian Health Service and military. He has also served as Medical Director of the Navajo Health Foundation and director of the Diabetes Prevention Program.
