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.

Height of professionalism with a caring attitude!

Dr. Heitman represents an elite group of physicians here who are: highly professional, cultural and respectful in opposition to a quite substantial group of primitive ignorants among the others in this profession. Therefore I highly recommend this outstanding physician.

Dr. Heitman is one of the most and competent physicians I have ever encountered. I would trust him to perform any surgery related to his practice on any family member or friend. He has been my doctor for a number of years and pray that he will continue for many years.
