Your trust is our top concern.
We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.
We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.
Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.
All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.
He was great. I had a number of teeth extracted and they were gone before I knew he was actually pulling them. Little discomfort or pain.

I thought everything was ok and surgery was going to be done and then the surgery schedular canceled it because she was having a bad day and thought i said the dr should retire when i said i wanted to be seen before he retires. Which he has so i guess he didnt tell her. So we had to go somewhere else hopefull y this girl gets fired for what she did. Between dr Heidelman and this young girl they were acting like highschoolers with jealousy issuses.

Dr. Heidelman removed two fractured teeth and placed two implants. One tooth had internal resorption and the other fractured eating corn on the cob. Very little pain postopertatively. He's not the chair of the OS programs at IU for nothing. He was my go to guy when I was in practice.

Several years ago I had surgery done by this Dr. Instead of going in and shaving off some of my jaw bone, he ended up cutting a portion of it out. He ended up hitting a nerve and now I have right sided paralysis on my face and I can't close my right eye all the way, nor can I move my eyebrow. The main purpose of the surgery was to help me open my mouth bigger, but that wasn't a success at all. I'm very disappointed by this surgeon.

I saw Dr Heidelman at IU. I was experiencing a lot of pain and swelling. He ordered a CT scan which he said showed nothing and sent me on my way. Another oral surgeon saw an abscess that had been there so long that it weakened my jaw bone. Had I listened to Dr Heidelman and not sought treatment, it could have been so much worse!

I had all 4 of my wisdom teeth extracted by the Dr.
2 of them were impacted and needed surgical extractions and the Dr. did an amazing job. I got IV sedation and got them removed and I had minimal pain and swelling. By the time I went for a follow up I was told I was perfectly normal just had to continue using syringe to clean the wound.
