Dr. Mark Heller, MD

I've had both hips replaced... and now.... I'm ready to have my knee done. I'm grateful Dr. Heller can fix what nature (and I) messed up.

Amazing surgeon. Fixed my hip after 40 years of suffering. It was just Osteoarthritis I was walking on with a cane. After the surgery, I have been pain free and walking normal without physical therapy. The surgery was done using laparoscopy and I was walking in a week with no problems. My hospital was going to sign me up for physical therapy but I didn't need it at all. This guy is a miracle man in my book.

Dr Heller and his team are extraordinary. I had both hips replaced several months apart in 2018. Both times everything went great and I was back to my old self more quickly than I anticipated. Unfortunately I tripped and took a bad fall a year later while jogging with my dogs (yes jogging!) and my left hip dislocated. It was relocated in an emergency unit and the surgery was redone 6 weeks later due to joint trauma. Dr Heller and his team gave me excellent support through the dislocation and surgery and have continued with caring follow up. All procedures were completely explained to me and all of my questions answered both in office visits and at the hospital. I'm a retired professional dancer and joint replacements later in life are not uncommon in my business. Dr Heller was recommended to me by other very satisfied dancers. I'm writing this today as my knee is giving me problems and I will see Dr Heller this week. I trust him completely to give me the best diagnosis and treatment.

Had both hips replaced by Dr. Heller in 2009 and 2011. Both times the surgery was successful and the recovery went well. I am so grateful for his competence.

Dr. Heller is a wonderful surgeon. He correctly diagnosed my knee issue and I had knee replacement surgery the end of May, 2019. I was back playing golf in 4 weeks and have started skating and plan to return to playing hockey in September.

I believe providence made us move from Seattle to Minneapolis just to find Dr.Heller. He is fantastic. Just by looking at my x-rays he was able to tell me everything about all the pain that I had been having. He has a great personality and in the exact time he said I am up and around and getting better every day. Best surgeon I have ever met!!! And I worked with 13 different surgeons so I know a great one when I see him!!

Knee replacement went well. It was life changing to be able to walk, crawl, and work with the new knee. It took six months to get in and was well worth the wait. As an electrician, I use my knees a lot. If you need replacement surgery, you have found the right man!

Dr. Heller is a superior surgeon. Had my hip replaced doing the two incision approach. Went home the next day. Only took Advil for pain, no opioids. Great result. Was back on my stationary bike in two weeks and hitting the treadmill. Dr. Heller is obviously very smart and clearly cares about his patients. Could not be happier with him and the result. I did my homework on having this surgery done. Could not be more pleased.

My mother had a knee replacement in February. The surgery was done well, and the recovery was smooth. Dr Heller cares a lot about his patients, does a thorough job, and follows up appropriately. We would recommend Dr Heller to anyone who is in need of a knee replacement.

My new hips are glorious. This man has good hands, heart and humor!

Personable, friendly, efficient. Felt cared for during process of my hip replacement surgeries. However, very important side affect was not mentioned prior to surgeries nor addressed post surgery despite my pressing the issue. Heller’s type of hip replacement surgery, fast recovery’s, minimal scarring, left me and others (I found out later) with SIGNIFICANT nerve damage to outer thigh area. I am 2 years post surgery and it is as bad and possibly getting worse. There is nothing that can fix it

I had both knees done at the same time. It wasn’t as hard as I thought it was going to be. Dr. Heller does a different cut and I can get on my knees. Every one I know can not, but they didn’t have Dr. Heller. He’s the nicest kindest doctor I have ever been too.

It is now ten years since Dr. Heller replaced both of my knees. He did a great job, changed my life. The knees are still perfect. He is a very gifted and talented surgeon! Recently, I fell and sprained an MCL. He got me right in, knew exactly what it was, and gave me perfect advice.

Dr. Heller is awesome! He has a great bedside manner but more importantly, he is an extremely good surgeon. He did both of my wife's hips, just 3 weeks apart and everything went as smoothly as we could hope for.

Dr. Heller has changed my life! I had been suffering from hip pain for over 3 years (presumed to be bursitis). After tests, I was diagnosed with advanced osteoarthritis. I was shocked because I was only in my late 40s. Since January, 2017, Dr. Heller has replaced both of my hips. Prior to surgery, I could barely walk, stand, clean my home, shop, etc. Now, only 3 weeks after my second hip replacement, I am doing all of those things and then some! I am thrilled and grateful for Dr. Heller!

both knees (3 months) apart. no pain at all. rapid return to flexion. 3 days rehab each time. superlative ssurgeo.

I can't say enough about how satisfied I am with my experience with Dr Heller and the rest of the people at United Hospital I had a total hip replacement and played volleyball just over six weeks later Having the right Dr makes all the difference in the world
