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.
He was kind, thoughtful, gentle as could be, informative and caring.

I have had bad experience with Dr. Heard's staff. It could have been easily fixed, but was ignored. His staff is so unorganized, rude and ignorant. I was told I did not have insurance even tho I had taken proof and even called my blue cross blue shield rep while in their office. They said ok, next visit same thing over and over again (insurance never changed), but I was told twice I would have to leave due to them not being able to file insurance work correctly. Such a hassle and waste of time.
