Dr Heron is a caring, competent, responsive physician. I have been his patient since 2018, after I fired my previous urologist because he dismissed my concerns, didn’t listen and failed to treat my condition. Dr Heron is an outstanding physician who does not hide his humanity behind a white coat. I continue to recommend him.

Dr Heron is a caring, gentle doctor who really cares about his patients and is very concerned about health and well being of his patients. I have seen him at least 3 times and each time we sat down and recessed my issues and what could be done to fix or at least control it. I have never left his office without feeling better about the visit.
