Doctor Heckmann is a great doctor

Dr Heckmann is THE BEST!


Mar 31, 2025

Both Dr Heckmann and his attending resident were extremely easy to communicate with. They listened carefully and were accurate with details transcribed to report re past medical history. Dr Heckmann wiz a straight-shooter. He explained possible surgical interventions clearly, gave his honest assessment, despite it maybe not being the result I had hoped, presented reasonable options. He followed through exactly as he said he would, and when discussing sensitive topics, he showed compassion and empathy, was non judgmental when discussing past prescription opioid addiction which made a HUGE difference in my ability to trust him with performing future surgical interventions.

Dr. Heckmann was excellent in all aspects of diagnosis and treatment.

Dr Heckmann is great at including me in decisions and next steps.
