Dr. Philip Heyman, MD

I returned from Christmas vacation in extreme pain with a badly broken wrist. I needed to find an orthopedist very quickly. (OCC) The Orthopedic Centers of Colorado were the only medical services I found who could see me. I saw Dr. Philip Heyman. When he saw my X-rays, he knew immediately that I would need to have surgery. What was amazing is that he could perform that surgery for me in two days! That was Great! I have been to a follow-up appointment and therapy appointments, and am recovering better and much more quickly than expected! I saw Dr. Heyman at four weeks and he said the X-rays are sitting perfectly and he was very impressed by my flexibility. He said I need to wear the brace only when I am outside and at nighttime now! My therapist was very impressed, also. I have been working considerably on my flexibility and it is really improving. With new exercises, she said three weeks would be soon enough to see her again, but I’ve chosen two. I want more of these Great Services!

Very through about explaining my condition and answering my questions and concerns.

The office was very accommodating and got me into see Dr.Heyman quickly (within 5 days). When I met with Dr Heyman , he explained my digital mucous cyst clearly, gave me my options, and I was able to schedule the removal surgery within 2 days. Day of surgery, he was prompt, professional, as was his staff. Positive experience all around. I like his style!

I find Dr Heyman easy to work with. He listens and understands the problems that come up with aging hands. Usually the solutions are quite simple but his experience also allows him to handle difficult situations. I highly recommend his services!

Professional including staff, informative and provided treatment options.

I have always been treated with the greatest of care . Would highly recommend

Check up on my elbow with new exrays. Will see him again in 3 weeks.

Dr Heyman was on time, relaxed, conversational, and informative. He listened to my concerns and offered the treatment that I thought was necessary. He also has a nice, dry wit that appealed to me.

I have been Dr Herman's patient for many years. Have had two carpal tunnel procedures, two trigger fingers repaired. And recently lacerated a tendon in my thumb which Dr Heyman repaired. All with outstanding results. Would highly recommend him.

Dr. Heyman is an extraordinarily talented hand surgeon.

Spent time analyzing my situation and discussed options with me. Dr. Heyman is professional and personable. I had a successful outcome and am happy with the procedure.

Dr. Heyman is compassionate and knowledgeable with the latest surgical procedures . I have had two successful surgeries with him and the staff at Swedish Medical.

Dr. Heyman was very thorough, took his time answering my questions and explaining to me. He didn't seem rushed. He was personable and I felt like he genuinely cared.

The front desk staff is very nice. That’s where it ends. The doctor came in to the room, looked me over and then pulled his mask up. I told him I was vaccinated and that he didn’t have to wear the mask if he didn’t want. He told me he didn’t care if I was vaccinated. He said I could walk in with a .45 and he still wouldn’t care. A few minutes into the exam he asked what my shirt said. So I said it was a Ruth Bader Ginsburg shirt and it said that women belong in all the places decisions are being made. He looked at me and said, “no they don’t.” I wish I would have known I had an appointment with a woman hater. I probably wouldn’t have kept the appointment. Towards the end of the appointment I asked what kind of brace I needed for my thumb. He measured an apparatus on HIS thumb, tossed it on the table and said, “use this.” When I asked what I should secure it with, he tossed some wrap on the counter and said, “that”. If you want to be treated very rudely, go see Dr. Hey man.

I heard his conversation with the patient "next door" he came in and said - I just heard the same thing next door - we have an epidemic!! I said NO - I HEARD the other person, this is different. His nurse was rough and uncaring when she did the x-rays. She had dirty unkempt nails, and the Dr. had on a dirty mask on that kept falling down on his face- while he was telling me to come closer to him. look at his picture- he came in in a shirt that was unbuttoned further than it should have been with no lab coat. I felt like I needed to wash when I left. I did agree to a cortisone shot to help the pain. The nurse brought it in in her clenched fist and dropped it down to the desk that was dirty. I think I was the only one washing my hands here - ewwwww . My hand? I took the picture that I took of the ex-ray on the screen, and took it elsewhere. Items he missed were pointed out immediately. I would not have this person cut in to my hand under any circumstances!!!!

I have recommended this office often and will do so in the future. They are great in every aspect of healthcare!

Not always clear on directions s

He was very professional, examined my hand and diagnosed the problem accurately, and suggested a treatment regimen appropriate to the problem. We will see how well it works out.

I was referred to Dr. Heyman after slipping in mud and landing on my right hand. Palm and thumb painful, swollen and bruised. After 3 appointments and told multiple times it wasn't a surgical injury, he couldn't even be bothered to give me a diagnosis or treatment plan. I also am not confident in what he did provide since on multiple occasions, both him and staff referred to the wrong hand, and also had the wrong areas MRId. I hurt my palm and thumb, and he had the wrist and lower thumb only scanned because he did not listen to me when I told him what and where. I honestly feel like he didn't see me as a possible surgery from day one, so I was not going to get proper treatment or guidance. I now have to get a second opinion and more costs because he could not be bothered.

I saw Dr Heyman immediately following an MRI which confirmed a ligament tear in my wrist after a work injury. Dr Heyman was rushed and did not take the time to thoroughly review my scans or listen to me and told me that this “wasn’t an injury that was going to get me out of work”. I had not missed an hour of any scheduled shift for almost the 2 months following the injury at that time. I didn’t want to miss work, but wanted to be fixed. He gave me a steroid injection and I feel like he expected me to feel better immediately following the injection. They are painful to begin with so that wasn’t possible. I ended up going to a new dr who treated me with respect and kindness and we have since repaired the damage.
