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.

Excellent Provider
I have complete confidence in Corey and the whole office. In my first few visits they were able to sort out that I had been misdiagnosed with Lupus. A previous doctor told me that because I have a positive ANA it means Lupus. Corey ran all the necessary testing to confirm or rule out Lupus and I’m so excited that I don’t have it. He explained there are many reasons why an ANA could be positive and a low number is more likely to be a false positive. If I had gone to a less attentive doctor they may have ready to start me on medication that may have harmed me or caused side effects. I’m so appreciative!

Terrible experience
Not knowledgeable, empathetic, or kind. Would not recommend him or this office as you will wait for months for an appointment only to not receive any treatment. Also, good luck trying to get any one at this rude office to answer the phone.

Great practice and caring people
I switched to this practice instead of the other one I previously reviewed. Please go to this practice on 82nd, Corey Heichel, PA-C is attentive to my concerns and needs. I wasn't shuffled out the door like cattle. The staff is so polite and friendly, Bianca the ultrasound tech was great. At least they explain tests and procedures, because they're aware I'm on a fixed income. I'm very happy with this practice and you will to. Please come here you won't be disappointed.

Corey Heichel has been my doctor for several years. I have psoriatic arthritis and before I began seeing him, I thought I was going to live in pain for the rest of my life. I am now, without pain and can work everyday and do not hurt. I recommend him highly.
