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.

Great doctor, superb staff
I was well pleased with Dr Heck and his team at Southlake Orthopedics. He collaborated with other doctors involved in my case. He thoroughly reviewed my historical imaging and compared them to present and provided a couple of options. I felt that he listened to my concerns. He also came highly recommended by another trusted physician.
Good surgeon, answered all questions concerning surgery and recovery
He was very pleasant when talking to me before and after my surgery. He didn’t act like he was in a hurry, although I’m sure he was lol. Great experience. I would recommend him.
A follow-up from my surgery. A Laminectomy was performed after my MRI showed a cyst in my back. Dr. Heck did the surgery and I have recovered and feeling much better. This was my second surgery performed by Dr. Heck. I definitely recommend him.
Dr. Heck was very thorough and compassionate in explaining my condition and options. He’s the only surgeon I’ll let operate on my back. I trust him explicitly!
Dr. Heck was very thorough and informative concerning my upcoming procedure. He made me feel comfortable and answered all my questions. I highly recommend him in his helpful knowledge.
Great doctor
Dr Heck is very pleasant and you can tell her cares for his patients. Concerned about your well being and just ready to cut. He gave me options. I did PT and I feel better. Thank you Dr Heck
