Really like Dr Heck. Listens to my concerns and then suggests various solutions or options for me. I’ve seen him for multiple orthopedic problems and he has solved them all.

Great surgeon, even better doctor. His follow up with me was way beyond most docs. Can't recommend enough

I really like how he takes the time to explain things and order more teating to confirm. He is an excellent doctor.

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.
