Dr. Richard David Heekin, MD

awful

Don't let this surgeon anywhere near you!

How is this Dr who retired under investigation and with multiple court filings for injuries still listed here?

Dr. Heekin replaced both of my knees and right hip. The results of all three operations were unbelievable. My knees and hip have never felt better. In my opinion Dr. Heekin is the best knee and hip orthopedic surgeon in Florida and possibly the country.

I have been a patient of Dr Heekin since 1999 when he and Dr. Rosenbaum did my left knee replacement at NAS JAX hospital.

I been with DR. Heekin from the beginning, a small office on post rd. I had 13 different doctors and 13 different surgery before seeing DR. Heekin. I was about 20-30 years old the first time i saw him. The best thing is Dr Heekin didn't jump right into surgery like all the different doctors did. Also, Dr Heekin took me on as a patient after 13 different surgeons work on my leg. My knee wasn't to good and I was in a lot of pain. DR Heekin said i would need a knee replacement he didn't jump into right away because i was to young to have a knee replacement. But, Dr Heekin waited it out with me. The day come after 3 years waiting. I told Dr Heekin that I wanted to live my life to the fullest and not wait until I'm 60 and can't walk anyway. Dr. Heekin agreed to do the surgery and help me out with the Physical Therapy treatments. After few years later Dr. Heekin had two huge offices in Jacksonville FL and very successful SURGEON and PERSON. After, that Dr Heekin broke off and… started another orthopedic practice Called Heekin Clinic Orthopedic Excellence that Dr Heekin for you. I consider Dr, Heekin part of my family. Dr. Heekin is a superhero and Dr Heekin very knowledgeable with knee replacement and hip.. Dr Heekin has done the most knee replacement and hip around Florida. I can't thank you as much as I would like DR HEEKIN MY HERO. I can't rate how great Dr Heekin is off the charts.

I am 79 years old. Over the previous 2 and a half years Dr. Heekin has replaced both my knees and both hips. After the last three operations I refused to take opioids for pain. I would be in a wheel chair today if it wasn’t for having these operations. I can walk normally, run, ride a bike, and sail my boat again. The 4 to 6 weeks of recovery discomfort is worth it to walk without pain. I recommend anyone being crippled with crippling knee or hip pain to have the joint replaced by Dr. Heekin.

Love Dr. Heekin! I have two new knees and am doing well!

Dr. Heekin replaced my right hip. I recovered beautifully and back to my job in 4 weeks. He genuinely cares for his patients and works tirelessly for them. He gave me my life back and I will be forever grateful.

I really liked his office! The parking was not great- it's a garage. However the staff was friendly and Dr. Heekin has a warm personality. Luckily I do not need a replacement yet but I would choose him if I did.
