Dr. Heitmann has been my family's doctor for 20 years. I would not be here if it wasn't for him. I have recommended him to family and friends that have never had anything negative to say about him all positive. The staff is great and very helpful especially Tracy. They treat you like family. I would recommend Dr. Heitmann to anyone. He is truly an exceptional doctor.

He is a really terrible doctor. Very arrogant, condescending, dismissive. Asks a question and then immediately interrupts you when you speak. Truly the worst doctor I have ever gone to.

Dr. Heitmann is an excellent doctor. He is no nonsense, straight to the point. Dr. Heitmann answers my questions in a manner that I can understand without having to ask him to "dumb it down." I would recommend Dr. Heitmann to anyone looking for a doctor. To add, the staff the works with Dr. Heitmann is extremely friendly and helpful to ensure my needs are met.

I never have much of a problem getting an appointment with Doctor Heitmann. His staff is wonderful. The entire office is friendly and personable. I can always count on Doc H and Tracy to make me feel like they care- because they do. I refer everyone to this office and always will. If you want a physician that cares- this is the office to go to.
