While waiting over an hour to see her I have heard heard her staff Make fun of Medicaid patients, obese patients, gays and transgender‘s. She hires people with no medical education, allows them to inject medications, perform invasive testing, even allows them to diagnose her patients. She has misdiagnosed every members of my family, and numerous friends or simply ignored the symptoms we were telling her wrong with us.

Dr. Heinlen is the most caring and capable physician I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. I am soon to be a senior citizen and have encountered many physicians in my life time. She takes time to listen and and uses the least invasive remedies first. I highly recommend her.
