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.

Outstanding Doctor
After 2 visits, Dr. Heim's suggestions for my hand injury resulted in nearly complete restoration of appendage function. Dr. Heim not only listened to my issue, but correctly diagnosed problem and solution. Side not, not only is Dr. Heim patient-centered, he is on time with his patients. Outstanding medical experience.

Dr. Heim did surgery on my thumb and he did my total knee replacement in both knees. He is the best and I highly recommend him. I personally would not use any one else.
