The reviews listed below were collected independently of Southlake Orthopaedics through rater8. Each review represents an authentic and verified patient experience.
I really like how he takes the time to explain things and order more teating to confirm. He is an excellent doctor.

Had rod and screws in my back. I knew immediately when I woke up after surgery the problem had been repaired. The 24/7 pain that I had in my back was gone. 3 months later I was released with no back pain whatsoever. I highly recommend Dr Heck
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.
