Dr. Heiden genuinely listens to my concerns and takes them seriously. He works collaboratively to identify the underlying cause of my symptoms, clearly explains the possible diagnoses, discusses the appropriate tests to evaluate them, and reviews treatment options and recommendations. I have always felt heard, respected, and believed during my appointments.

I waited 50 minutes to see the provider. The MD was in the room approx 3 minutes for a post op follow up there was no exam of any kind just asked how I was doing and told to come back in another 6 weeks. Unsure what the point was.

Dr Heiden and staff were great!!!!! Front desk NEEDS some training on how to smile and be friendly. Not talk to other employee while patients are standing waiting to be checked in. Only one willing go to help was the millet gal that was doing pt check in and she saw what was going on and said you can come over here. This happened lots last year when I was in with other child too so it hasn’t been a one time thing. Front desk needs to do better!!!! First impressions when entering!
