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.

Excellent physician

Dr. Heckman is professional, compassionate, and a great listener. Although my knee issue is unchanged after receiving gel therapy, I agree with the doctor to get a MRI for further diagnosis

Very empathetic and realizing my new diagnosis of CML, encouraged me to deal with that first and to return when I felt it appropriate. He gave me many options to consider. I was impressed.
