Excellent doctor. Listens, advises and doesn't rush you. We took my daughter's physical therapist to the appt and Dr Heady had no issue listening to her and giving advice. Great experience.

Horrible doctor! Does not have bedside manner, was short and sweet and did not give the time to talk to me. Pushed surgery immediately and after surgery did not get clear instructions with how to take care of incision. Incision is infected, I had to ask a different medical advisor about it.

At my recent appointment Dr. Heady was professional, thorough, and informative. I don’t feel rushed through my appointment and he answered all of my questions. The receptionist, nurse and x-ray tech that worked with me were no different.
