Awesome Doctor and staff! I can’t thank them enough. I can’t believe how much better I feel and that has a lot to do with the professionalism they showed me through the whole process.

Dr. Heerwagen and staff took great care of me from start to finish. Made sure I had all the information I needed about my surgery, answered any questions, made sure I had a good experience. And best of all - no more pain in my knee!

He added cortisone to both knees after drawing my right one. We chatted during the procedure and I honestly felt no pain whatsoever. He suggested a different approach if this didn't have the results I was hoping for. Great office visit with a very nice support staff.
