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.

Dr Heckler is very personable and listens to your concerns. Even better he addresses them during surgery and I couldn’t be happier! I highly recommend him to anyone considering hip replacement including anyone with possible leg length discrepancies. He truly cares about his patients.
