Second time as a new patient that he is over an hour late. Then why give someone a time indication? Incredible

We found Dr Hekimoglu to be very pleasant and easy to talk to. We saw him for the first time because my husbands usual physician, Dr Waramkowski, was on vacation. Dr Hekimoglu was covering his patients for him. Its nice to know that there is another physician we can turn to in case of a emergency.

Doc H is a very good doctor with a very friendly demeanor- this does cause for a wait to see him but recently staff changes/additions have helped the long wait...Everyone at office is nice and helpful and since we come with about 12 pounds of medical record history- that can leave alot of gaps- but he is patient and listens and asks the right question and he is always willing to consider alternatives if they work- for example for over 7 years Dad has had problems with high cholesterol and ALL the Statin drugs gave him bad leg cramps within days- so we tried using red yeast rice instead and when Doc heard we had only been on crestor for 10 days and the chol. was down to perfect from high 300s he said STOP! what have u been doing - the crestor takes weeks to months for full benefit- and we told him about red yeast rice and he was amazed as he know little about the herb- but he said as long as it is doing the job there is no need for RX so Dad is happy w/ no leg cramps, Doc is happy with… test resuly=ts and I am happy that it is natural and not chemical solution- EVERYBODY WINS when there is the presence of open mind and a good man wanting to do right by his patients- thanx Doctor H!!!
