Very professional. Dr. Heilig and his staff really care about their patients. I also have to mention the x-ray tech he is absolutely the best.

Dr. Heilig has been suspended for performing surgery under the influence of a "cocktail " of drugs. Beware.

Heilig replaced my hip in 2015 and I have been in pain ever since. I now walk with an extreme limp. He should NEVER have been given his medical license back. He has destroyed my life

I have had painful joint problems in both hips, lumbar spine, foot, and neck. He has always diagnosed the problem quickly and accurately and the treatment plans have always been successful.
