Dr Heikes is someone who I have complete trust in, and that is very important to me. There is no doubt she knows what she is doing, but better yet it feels like she knows why she is doing it. Her calm and knowledgable approach puts me at ease and helps find me a way back to playing again. Doc is the best!

I am very skeptical of doctors, I find Dr. Heikes very trustworthy, she does care about her patients. I am old and slow, Christie is young and efficient. I need to learn how to ask my doctors to slow down when treating me. Then I am a happy patient.

I've seen Dr. Heikes for multiple injuries over the years and she's performed a couple knee surgery on me. I would never again go to another orthopedist as I trust her completely. In fact, I just referred my best friend to see her for a knee surgery. She is clearly an expert in her field and a complete delight to deal with. I could not recommend Dr. Heikes strongly enough.
