Dr. Heeg did a good job in diagnosing me with Central Serous Retinopathy. He explained the diagnosis, directing me to the appropriate images and advised me on what to do.

I received a bait and switch with this ophthalmology office. I had made an appointment with another MD, Dr Seligson, based on a recommendation by another MD that I trust. Since I did not know Sr Seligson prior to the appointment, I did not realist the MD who saw me was not him until after the exam. I was not please with the MD or the exam, and when I discussed while making a follow-up, I found out that the MD I saw was someone else. In fact Dr Heeg isn't even listed on this facility's website, High Country Mucula. Dr Heeg was rushed and dismissive of my concerns. I have had several eye surgeries in my life, and have been dealing with Ophthalmologists between ages 6 and 46 (I am 53 now). Avoid.
