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.

Exceptional doctor
Dr. Heckman listens and explains the problem. He explains how he will fix it and what to expect after the surgery. He answers any questions you have and does not rush your appointment. His office staff and surgery team were fantastic. After rotator cuff surgery and therapy I had a complete recovery. I would highly recommend Dr. Heckman.

Repair avulsion of distal Biceps brachia tendon
I had an accident where I suffered a complete avulsion of my distal biceps brachia tendon on my right arm. I presented to Dr. Heckman and his staff with my MRI which clearly showed the condition and Dr. Heckman and his team performed the reattachment a week later. Post surgery was an incredible sucess and 7 weeks later I have complete Range of Motion (ROM) restored with little or insignificant scar tissue on forearm. Strength traing and PT continues but I am expected to make a full and complete recovery. Dr Heckman is a highly skilled surgeon with an outstanding team of professional doctors that truly care about the patient and their recovery. Dr. Heckman is a genuinely gifted doctor and has excellent communicative interpersonal skills. He exemplifies and speaks volumes on what a caring, skilled surgical doctor in the 21st century should be and how present themselves to patients. I highly recommend him for surgical reattachment and other joint replacement surgical therapies.

Exceptional doctor.
Treated my wife with metastatic NSCLC providing IM nails to prevent leg/arm fractures. Thoughtful, gifted and accommodating. Recognized the urgency of her case and within days performed both the arm and leg surgeries.

On July 30, 2016 I was involved in an accident that resulted in a compound comminuted distal tibial fracture. it fell upon Dr Heckman and his staff to put this thing back together. I went from being sure I'll never use it again to four months later having almost full function. I can't say enough about how impressed I am with this gift I was given and not only the obvious surgical skill but "bedside manner" that Dr. Heckman has. A true physician in every sense of the word.
