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 is the bsst!
Dr. Heady has been my doctor for many years now. He is very knowledgeable, professional and yet very friendly!

Best Foot Surgeon in Wichita
I can't recommend Dr. Kent Heady enough for Jones fracture surgery. He performed surgery on my left foot and I had a great recovery. Nine years ago, I had the same fracture on the other foot with a different doctor and it was a nightmare for 10 months. If you need surgery for a Jones fracture, Dr. Heady is the best choice!

Although I believe Dr. Heady to be a very good surgeon, I'm still bothered by experience in the office. I'm sure he has been told before that he talks too fast, but it does make me a bit unsettled about how he will do in my case. I have not had surgery yet but still plan to go ahead with Dr. Heady.

Years and years and....
I have know Dr Heady going on 7 years now and he has done so much for me. He went through my denial phase with me for a year. 3 separate toe amputations. Then the 4 remaining toes and then the lower left leg amputation. Through everything he and his staff have been my rock. They treat me as family. I would never ever let another surgeon touch my feet/foot. I cannot imagine all these nay sayers were actually his patients. I refer him to everyone. Friends, family, people I meet who talk about needing a good foot/ ankle surgeon.

This place has been a good experience for me.
Very timely and friendly. He explains things well, making sure I understand details. I had to have a very difficult surgery on my ankle and it’s been a long road of healing. He has made sure I’m healing correctly and my needs are being met.
