Dr. Heller's patience, knowledge and professionalism has enabled me to very successfully recover from serious mental issues. He allowed me to play a critical role in my therapy and take control of my life, whereas other doctors did not take adequate time to understand my issues. He applied his extensive knowledge to my treatment but did not force medications or techniques on me. Alternatively, we chose the most suitable options for me. Through hundreds of visits, he has treated me with care and respect and is available should I need to discuss any concerns. I never hesitate to recommend Dr. Heller to friends or relatives who request mental health support. He is 100 percent patient focused, as reflected in my success as a patient.

Simply an outstanding doctor. Thoughtful and insightful, caring and understanding, very realistic. Very knowledgeable about medical problems as well. Helped me rediscover my strengths and my balance. Really helpful in bringing harmony to family life, and dealing with difficult people. Very compassionate and trustworthy. Understands people exceptionally well. Very lucky to be his patient. Largely thanks to him I am happy again at work and at home and I can stand up for myself when I must and I know when I don’t have to.

Met with Doctor Heller for my mom, was very impressed how he was able to turn the situation into a positive one for her. She can be a difficult patient however, Dr Heller was very understanding and extremely helpful. I highly recommend Dr Heller and if need for my own well being, I will be more then pleased to be a patient of his.

Very abrasive and rude, cuts you off, attacks instead of listens, very arrogant and seems to say one thing one session and about face in another
