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.

Caring and Compassionate
Dr. Heffernan explained things in a way that I could understand them. She also went above and beyond getting my treatment started. She made me feel like she's in the fight with me and is the perfect example of what every Dr should be. #amazing

Yes, absolutely. Dr. Heffernan is very down to earth, kind and caring, and has an extensive wealth of knowledge about (prostate) cancer, effects, tools in the arsenal, etc. She always allows sufficient time to answer questions, provide explanations and options and personalizes it to the patient.

I was referred to Dr.Hefferman through my urologist to get radiation treatment for prostate cancer. She provided a comfortable environment for treatment, and her professionalism and persona made for a relaxing encounter. She has surrounded herself with quality personnel that makes her team a positive experience. I have and will continue to recommend Dr. Hefferman and her team to my family and friends in need of quality oncology care.

Dr Heffernan started out being very interested in my case when she took over my care @ 1 1/2 years ago. She ordered a Ct which had never been done in years. Thankfully it was clean. Her eagerness and explanations make me worry less than I have in years. Thankful I found her!
