I love Dr. Heacock, He has helped me for many years with my GERD issues and other symptoms related to upper and lower endoscopy. He is very patient and kind. I no longer have severe GERD because Dr. Heacock worked very hard to assit me or lead me to the right Doctors and treatment facilities for tests and other procedures needed to help ease some if not all of my pain and discomfort. I had linx surgery in 2017 and no more issues with severe GERD anymore. I sleep and no longer wake up regurgitating. I'm extremely grateful to have Dr. Heacock not only in my life, but in my corner when it comes to my Gastroenterogy issues.

Unfortunately, this site does not give you an option to say that your wait time was more than an hour. My husband waited almost three hours for his appointment. Ridiculous. If a practice cannot be more respectful of people's time, do not bother with them.
