Meet Dr. Dan

After completing his Bachelor of Science with honors  from the University of Michigan, Dr. Dan graduated from the Yale School of Medicine Cum Laude and moved on to serve as a commissioned Naval officer during the Vietnam era.

Dr. Dan has since led a medical career involving practice in Florida and New York, 26 years of guest lecturing, 12 years of professional research, 14 peer-reviewed publications, and six medical patents. 

Currently, Dr. Dan practices in his own small business that he has run successfully for 25 years.  Dr. Dan is a founding member of the Cherokee County 9/12 Project and is active in grassroots politics across the 11th District.  

Dr. Dan’s experience as a military veteran, ophthalmologist, small business owner, and grassroots political activist make him uniquely qualified to handle the tough challenges facing our nation today.  Dr. Dan’s term in Congress will resemble his entire professional career:  diagnosing problems, devising treatment plans, and prescribing successful solutions.

Dr. Dan Eichenbaum and his wife, Rhonda, married in 1999.  Their son is a recent graduate of the University of North Carolina-Charlotte, and their daughter will be a sophomore at Appalachian State University in Boone this fall.  Dr. Dan has lived in Murphy, N.C. for 25 years and has been a practicing Ophthalmologist for 35 years.
