This doc is honestly the only doc I have ever felt comfortable with. I am from a small town and have old school beliefs and traits. Everything he had to tell me , he didn't use superficial elaborate wording. He broke everything down in a way people like me even understood. I feel fortunate having a top rated doc who is also down to earth caring and understanding and the most capable doc anyone could hope to have working on them. If it wasn't for this doc I honestly wouldn't have had the life saving procedure done, I would just let it go untreated.
Doctor Hoenicke spent a considerable amount of time and went into significant detail during our first visit. I was duly impressed.
If it weren't for Dr. Hoenicke, my husband would not be alive today.
Dr. Hoenicke has been my Cardiothoracic for many years. He is always kind, attentive, and patient!
Dr Hoenicke is kind and listens to what I have to say. He provides excellent feedback, and I feel confident in his care.
Dr Hoenicke is a great Doctor and Surgeon. He takes the time to explain my issues and conditions to me. Dr Hoenicke saved my life, so without any question he’s my hero for sure.
I appreciate that he spent a good amount of time with me, answering all my questions and I didn't feel rushed.
The best !
He goes way beyond the basics! you other tests to get. Extends in sharing all knowledge
He's a Fabulous Thoracic Surgeon that I trust with my life. Four open heart surgery procedures later, I wouldn't go to anyone else..
