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.

Dr Vanhecke always listens to you . He answers any concerns that you may have.

Amazing doctor
Dr. Vanhecke is always personable and shows an interest in your life. He explains things and always makes sure you go away with the information you want. I worked in the medical field for over 30 years and have seen my share of doctors. I would recommend Dr. Vanhecke to anyone who needs a cardiologist. He is caring and very knowledgeable.

The BEST Cardiologist (I'll Never See Another One)
Dr. Vanhecke is the FIRST specialist that I have ever seen who actually listens to, understands, and validates your concerns. My previous encounters with other cardiologists, rheumatologists, immunologists, etc. were so invalidating and discouraging, I truly gave up hope that I would ever be properly diagnosed, let alone treated.All of that changed with Dr. Vanhecke. Not only was he extremely patient, kind, and a great listener, he was able to diagnose my lifelong condition during my first new patient appointment with him. He also discovered another medical issue with my heart, of which I was previously unaware (and cannot believe that not a single one of the multitude of doctors that I have seen over the years never found).I finally feel like there is hope for me, thanks to Dr. Vanhecke. I have a treatment plan, complete with medications to try to alleviate my symptoms, appropriate medical testing scheduled to rule out other causes of my symptoms, and most of all, validation.

Difficult appointment scheduling
Never saw the Dr. First appointment they said wasnt scheduled, tho' I got a reminder called. Second appointment, stress test was incomplete. Third appointment to review test, Dr. was out of town and staff didn't know! The incompetence of this office scares me and I sought out a different cardiologist. They just called for a 4th appointment that I NEVER made!!!!!!!

Wonderful Dr. Receptionist and others not so much.
Trying to get a person to answer - is virtually impossible. I am on my 5 th attempt in 7 days and the last one stated that no one is in the office (3:31 pm on a Friday) even though the voice message says that they open until 5 pm. The person who answered the call said that the staff left at 3:30 pm NO KIDDING! Prior to that, on a Monday, they said that the staff was on lunch between 1 pm and 2 pm (I called at 1:05 pm). Dr. Vanhecke is a wonderful Dr. and is genuinely concerned about his patients. Unfortunately, his staff is doing the Heart Institute a disservice...another reason why UNIONS here (Teamsters) are terrible.
