Dr. C. Heck, is the best. He’s done two back surgeries for me. I’m recovering well. He’s very caring and shows a concern, to your well being.

I had a great visit with Dr. Heck and i appreciated all of the information given and the time he spent in our appointment. I was not pleased about waiting for an hour and a half before seeing him.

Dr. Heck, Lauren, Anna and all staff are wonderful. He has performed multiple back surgeries on me and the only one I trust to work on my back.

Spent time with me explaining my disabilities and why! Actually communicated with me and have many physicians who just do not communicate!
Dr. Christopher A. Heck joined Southlake Orthopaedics in January 2018. Prior to joining our team, Dr. Heck practiced orthopaedics in Montgomery, Alabama for the last 10 years specializing in spine surgery. Dr. Heck always thought he would follow in his father’s footsteps becoming a cardiothoracic surgeon. Instead, he quickly learned in medical school he had a strong love for physics and orthopaedics became the surgical field he would choose. Dr. Heck is from Mobile, Alabama.

Dr. Heck and his wife, Susan, have two children. When Dr. Heck is not in surgery, he enjoys spending time with his family, hunting and traveling. He is also a car enthusiast.
