Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr. Heinrich repaired my ruptured ACL 3-4 years ago and it feels so good, I sometimes need to look for the small scar to remember which knee it was. Followed all the post surgical instructions and sports PT. Absolutely no pain, aches or instability. Pretty amazing. Had my hip reshaped the following year with same result - FAI bone impingement started giving me pain in front of hip. That too seems literally perfect.

Went to see Heinrich for lower back pain and he indicated I needed to have surgery on my hip (hip resurfacing) or I would end up pain the rest of my life. He did the surgery and a few others which he didn't tell me about beforehand, just let me know when I came out of surgery that he snipped my ilio psoasis muscle and did a few other surgeries on me which I didn't agree to. I immediately had horrible pain, much more than when I went to see him. I never had hip pain before, but now I do. It has been 10 years since the surgery and I'm in pain every day, my hip has never recovered. My entire right side is compromised and is smaller than the left side. THe imbalance has caused never ending issues and I can't stand or sit without pain anymore. No other doctor has been able to tell me what went wrong. I suspect it was nerve damage. Heinrich has never followed up with me, has never shown any care for the state he left me in. I regret every day I had this surgery.

I had severe pain in both hips that would restrict movement during the day and wake me up during the night. I heard about Dr. Heinrich and the arthroscopic surgery he performs. He did surgery on both hips and it's been life changing. I'm able to walk without restrictions and sleep through the night. I'm very pleased with the outcomes of both surgeries and highly recommend Dr. Heinrich.

I underwent a muscle tear repair of over a year ago. Dr Heinrich and his staff were skilled, experienced and took care of the issue. I found Dr Heinrich to be professional and kind and extremely confident in his skill as an orthopedic surgeon. I drove over an hour each way so I could be under his care and guidance and as a result, stronger than prior to surgery!

Dr. Heinrich was very all about business during pre-surgery meetings. He takes his job very seriously and wants his patients too also. Since surgery, he has lightened up with his personality, but still gets his point across. He rocked my very difficult hip surgery - don't just judge a book by its cover.

I was told to see an orthopedic doc for back and hip pain after unsuccessful pt. Went for exam..he did xray told me to go back for more pt...what I really needed was immediate surgery for level 3 disc displacement which pt can make worse. Did not offer mri or do thorough workup. Told me I had calcium depoosits..which I do not...Thankfully I went to a better doc for correct diagnosis via mri. Complete fail on his part
