Excellent bedside manner. Listened to my problem, with eye contact! He explained the probable causes of the issue that I presented and offered pertinent solutions. The orthopedic surgeon that performed both of my total hip replacements retired, and I was at a loss who to consult. Dr. Heck’s name was given to me by a friend. and I am most grateful that I took his suggestion!

Dr Heck is very efficient in his office visit. He really shines in the OR though. He has replaced my right hip and both knees and I am amazed at how well he did. I was able to get back on my bicycle after only a few weeks with both knee replacement. In my book he’s the best around.

Dr. Heck is very knowledgeable and informative. He has an extremely professional yet caring approach to office visits. I give him high marks in all areas of his practice, except one. The only area of improvement I see is to cut the wait time for the office visits.
