She was my doctor for twenty years and when she went to Newtown Square I didn’t follow her. Biggest mistake of my life. I think Dr. Heller is the best doctor I have ever had. I had her in King of Prussia and then Bridgeport and then Conshohocken. I wished I would have followed her because I think I have had three or four different doctors since her and I’m just frustrated with them all. When you find a good doctor you should never let go of them. Hi Dr. Heller, you can’t imagine how I miss you. Seriously Dr. Heller was the best Dr. I ever had in my life.

Dr Joy is the best doctor I have ever had in my life. I first saw her when she was in King of Prussia and I followed her practice to Bridgeport and then to conshohocken. I have been with her for about 15 years. She is no doubt the BEST family doctor there is in the area. My family loves her!!!

I recently moved to the area and my husband and I needed to find all new physicians. I contacted a number of offices throughout the area recommended by family, friends and my insurance company. When I called Dr. Heller's office I did not have to go through and press 900 buttons to get to a person. A real live person answered the call. They took time to answer my questions. When I called some of the other places I was told it could take up to a month to get an appointment. Dr. Heller's office said the would make every effort to get me in that day or the day after at the very latest. To date all of my immediate family has switched to this office and none plan to leave. Thanks Dr. Heller and team!
