Dr. Heckler is a very good doctor and doesn't push patients for aggressive treatments and recommend conservative treatments. I gave him a 3 star because as a patient I would like him to sit down and talk to the patients for few minutes to ease their concerns.

Not that I want to be at an orthopedic office for broken bones but Dr Heckler is always good to see. Takes time and explains the treatment plan so that you understand what’s happening.

Dr Heckler is the BEST! I would recommend him to anyone. He''s very knowledgeable, confident, compassionate and cautious. We tried everything before replacing my knee, but when it was time, we moved forward and I'm so glad we did it! My incision looks amazing 8 weeks postop,, my ROM is excellent and I have a lot less pain. He understands how important my sport is to me and fully supports my goals.
