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.

Should have medical license revoked
Dr. Heitlinger completely misdiagnosed my son even after I repeadily and respectfully questioned him. He ordered multiple tests then took three weeks to share the results. At this point my child was still vomiting multiple times per day and had lost 40 lbs from his original 75/lbs. He was extremely rude to his staff, was annoyed when my son was sick in his office and attempted to berate him for it until I put a stop to it.

Dr. Heitlinger completely misdiagnosed my son even after I repeadily and respectful questioned him. He refused to order the proper testing and would not share my sons records after several attempts from both CHOP and Boston’s Children’s Hospital. In addition, he spoke very innapropriatly in front of my child.
