I have had very bad experiences with this doctor...and he has ruined my life of anxiety going to doctor's office.

Wouldn't you be outraged if a doctor asks you, "Are sure didn't have a baby together?" Don't tell me how I should feel if this not how doctor Heard treated you in this matter.

He’s a great doc my mom had years ago. I just looked him up because a friend needed a new doc. He has moved. P.S. Many/most of these recent reviews all sound like the same, angry, disgruntled person who can’t move on. Pitiful.

Dr. Heard is the worst doctor ever. He is very unproffessional.

Dr. Heard lies through his teeth when he says your his favorite patient. He rushesvthrough your appointment and likes to get very political in your appointment.

Dr. Heard is very unproffessional. He suggested we had a baby together during my son's doctor visit.

If Dr. Heard gets political in your doctor visit instead of your health concerns, I suggest you run and find you a new doctor.

Dr. Heard is not truthful...he tells you are his favorite patient, and then he drops you like you are a piece of trash. I have a hard time attending a doctor's office because of the anxiety Dr. Heard has caused me. I also have trust issues with doctors now. I have found a different doctor who actually listens to me and does tell I am his favorite patient. If a doctor in the future ever tells me I am their favorite patient, I am going to change doctors because I cannot go through this form of turmoil ever again.
