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.

Back pain relief
A huge “Thank you” to Dr. Heim! In November of 2019 Dr. Heim preformed back surgery- 4 disc fusions. It was a big surgery, and had BIG results. I suffered for over 10 years and tried everything: Physical therapy, cortisone injections, Chiropractic therapy, and medications. I was in a downward spiral and the pain had become intolerable. I was 67 and the pain was ruling my life. I decided I had to do something. I am so happy I did my research and found Dr. Heim. He is a knowledgeable and compassionate Surgeon, with credentials to impress. I was well informed every step of the way, and every question I had was answered with professionalism and respect. It’s been over 2 years now, and I feel great!

Amazing experience and results. Dr Heim did a double level (L4/L5 and L5/S1) fusion on my back in 2004. Prior to the surgery I could barely stand up and had significant pain in all positions. Since then, my life has fully returned to 100% normal structurally. In fact, I was able to swing a golf club about 50% just 3 months following the surgery. Now, 16 years later, I have been able to enjoy any and all activities from skiing, hiking, running, golfing, etc. I could not recommend Dr. Heim more highly.

Dr. Heim recently performed ACDF surgery on me. Every nurse, tech, doctor staff,etc that I met in my pre-op ranted about what a great Dr. Heim was and I must agree now post op. Every thing he described prior to my surgery is going as planned and I expect complete recovery. Immediately after surgery the nerve pain I suffered for 8 weeks is gone. I am so grateful for his care and as I was told before surgery he has soft hands and provides great care to his patients. I agree whole heartedly!

Very upfront about expectations - I had disc problems repaired (terminology?)- excellent after-care and follow up support. L4 and L5 fused, no issues 8 years later. He had an excellent support system and I was walking the day of surgery, went home about 4 days after? Response to questions after surgery was really good- his explanations were very clear and helpful. By now his techniques are probably different but I was very happy with the results even after this time-
