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.

Professional and compassionate
Dr. Hiesterman is hands down the best orthopedic physician I've met with. He listened carefully, provided clear advice and offered solutions that were successful. He replaced my right knee using the latest technology which resulted in a short, complete recovery with full range of motion. I highly recommend him!

Dr. Heisterman dropped my case
After my first appointment post op, Dr. Heisterman refused to review my X-rays that I had taken and sent from AZ. He missed my telemedicine appointment and will not respond to my calls. He was happy enough to operate (and I think it went well) and was kind at my appointment 3 week post op. However, I feel under cared for now. I’m so grossly disappointed. :(

Dr Hiesterman took care of our 6 year-old son's elbow fracture and dislocation. He was extremely patient and explained everything so that we all understood. This was very helpful and calming. You could tell that he really cares for his patients. Surgery was a success! Thank you for everything...you are an amazing doctor!

Dr Hiesterman gets a huge thank you for being my surgeon. My collar bone surgery was a success...I have no pain and full range of motion in my arm. As a Physical Therapist Assistant, I appreciate everything he did to get me healed and back to work quickly. Dr Hiesterman is a blessing to many people as he is able to heal and make their lives pain-free. Thank you again for your good work.

No words can say how much we appreciate Dr Hiesterman for being our son's surgeon. We were truly moved by his professionalism and caring for our son. When he broke his foot, we were impressed that he got him into surgery so quickly. That put us at ease as parents. He had the best care that anyone could have gotten and now he is healed without any pain. Dr Hiesterman's care mean't the world to us and we will continue to tell everyone what a great surgeon he is.

Dr Hiesterman was an amazing surgeon when our youngest son broke his arm this past summer. He was our first child to break something, so we didn't really know what to expect. He totally explained everything to us so we knew what was going to happen. He was terrified, but Dr Hiesterman made him feel so much better with his kind, encouraging words. After surgery, Dr Hiesterman came to the waiting room to talk to me about how things went and he said that he fixed him up as he would have his own son. I knew then that we ended up with an outstanding and caring doctor and that he was in the best hands that I could have asked for. I am a nurse myself and have seen some not so great doctors, so I feel blessed that Dr Hiesterman was the one that took care of us.
