Dr. Richard Hecker, DPM

I would give him 0 stars if that was an option. Went to him for foot pain in both feet after two visits to the walk in clinic for one foot. He looked at the x-rays that were reported as normal from the radiologist and two walk in doctors, discovered an “abnormality” himself and determined that was my problem without looking at the rest of my pain issues. He wrapped athletic tape around his hand, stuck a small piece of foam on it and shoved it on my foot. It was too tight and caused more pain. Ridiculous. On my bill it was reported as a strapping device and I was charged $171.00. I walked out of that visit feeling like I had bought an elixir on the Andy Griffith show for a cure. I wouldn’t recommend him for anything. He doesn’t listen, doesn’t examine you properly and I’m assuming everyone who sees him is told to come back for another co-pay and office visit for inserts. Waste of time and money.

I had surgery performed by him & while he fixed the problem, he caused another that is not able to be fixed EVER. Another time I went to him with an issue, he proceeds to cut a piece of callus off my foot that didn't take a minute to do & was something I take care of. I get the bill a& his procedure was billed at $125. 00 for a 'surgery'. I refuted the claim but was told since the Dr. used a certain medical code it was 'surgery'. For $40.00 I could have gone to for a pedicure & had done better
