He has done both my shoulder and knee replacement and I am very happy. He was very attentive and caring both times. I will not see anyone else.

Three knee surgeries in three years.....on the same knee. I'm 43 (now). I certainly put in the rehab time but the knee failed repeatedly. After 2nd surgery he really didn't even talk to me. Wasn't told to go to rehab or what to do...... So I did it on my own. In addition he'll spend maybe TWO minutes with me !! Had a follow-up appt. yesterday for third surgery that wasn't even that. Plus me couldn't find the photos from surgery to show me. Basically took out stitches (or the assistant did), checked range of motion and that was it. I'll be billed over $100 for his two minutes of time. Weak.

My mother came into the ER with suspected fracture of the wrist and a small open wound across the wrist from the fracture. Dr. Heethouse was on call and came in the later evening to look at my mother's wrist personally as he couldn't determine by the explanation of the ER physician whether it was an open fracture (with high potential for infection) or not). He could have waited til the next morning but he came in to make sure that if it was an open fracture, he would take her to the OR and clean the wound that night. He determined it was not an open fracture and he did her surgery the next day and it went well. Dr. Heethouse was compassionate and answered all my questions without being rushed, which I appreciated.
