Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

One of the best doctors in the area
I'm a 72 year old woman with multiple arthralgias. I suffer from osteo, rheumatoid and psoriatic arthritis. I have had surgery on multiple joints. I've been seeing Dr. Heiges for years. He has performed neck surgery on me twice. He is an extremely knowledgeable practitioner. I would not hesitate to recommend him or Optim. He is also a caring and concerned doctor who listens to complaints about pain and mobility issues.

Best Back Doctor
Dr Heiges operated on my L4L5 in 2007 . Have not had trouble with it but as I have gotten older (77) problems have arose . As soon as I told him what was happening he immediately knew what was happening and we agreed on me having a MRI .

Don't know wha I would of done without Dr Hedges
He knew what was wrong with me 1st visit He is a very understanding doctor . He cares about his patiences. If you need medical attention he is the one to go to. 3 years ago he did back surgery on me and when I had issues I went back to him because I knew he would take care of it again although it was a different problem . I know he will fix it just like 3 years ago . He is the best and I will recommend him to everyone .

Dr. Heiges performed my back surgery in 2006. He is very kind, compassionate, and thorough. I still see him today. He is a wonderful doctor. He did not stop until he found out what was wrong with my back.

Consult
Another doctor wants to try a spinal cord stimulator to relieve pain in my lower spine. Dr Heigis agreed it was a good idea . Dr Heigis is very easy to talk with and asked a lot of questions about past treatments and surgeries on my spine. His personal interest in my condition was excellent. I highly recommend him for any spine issues.

Great Dr.
I was in for results of MRI. I got the news I was expecting. Will get treatment to help Alleviate the pain. Dr. Heiges always listens to me and doesn’t treat me as if I am there for meds. I never ask for them. I just want to be fixed not medicated. He does his best to figure out the best plan for me.
