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 best!!!!!! Dr. Heinrick is the greatest!

Dr. Heinrich is the VERY best of the best! I've never come into contact with ANY physician in my entire life that I've felt better about. He has literally saved my sons life & I will always and forever be in his debt. I've worked closely with his staff (M?) for 6 years now & they have always been so good to us. Many occasions I have been tardy or forgotten my insurance info or even had trouble making appointments with the call center folks & they ALWAYS not ever ONCE have ever turned me away, been rude or seemed annoyed, never not once ever NOT been helpful or accommodating to us every single step of the way & gone above and beyond. He CARES. I mean Genuinely, cares & we can feel that. We know that. THAT'S the sign of remarkable. I can honestly say he has been a Godsend to my family?

Found Dr. Heinrich when I was looking for a second opinion for my daughter. Absolutely satisfied and pleased with the appointment. He sat and talked with me and explained everything about her condition. Office staff was friendly and great!

I can't say enough about him and his staff. He was very patient with me and my questions as a mother and took the time to explain to my child what was going to take place. I knew she was in good hands with him as a surgeon.

Dr. Heinrich is an excellent doctor. He had to do a corrective surgery for my daughter because she had two previous surgeries that made her orthopedic problem worse. He successful applied her Taylor Spatial Frame and she did not get a bone infection. Her leg lengths are equal now. We fill Dr. Heinrich is the best!!
