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.

The doctor took the time to answer all our questions. They even arranged for us to see the facility where the surgery was being performed. Met one the nurses. It was very reassuring. I couldn’t ask for a better Dr. I would highly recommend to everyone. I have already. Even called me at home to. Check on me.

Total hip replacement
Highly recommend Dr. Hecht. He thoroughly explained the procedure. I was able to go home the day of surgery with little to no pain. Quick recovery and, with therapy, stronger than before.

Total hip replacement
Dr. Hecht replaced my hip on Thursday and I was up and walking unassisted on Friday. A little sore for a few days but pain level was below 3. I would recommend Dr. Hecht to anyone needing a joint replacement. I couldn’t be happier with my results.

Love this surgeon !
I would absolutely recommend Dr. Hecht. He replaced both my knees and the recovery time was amazing.Feel like a new woman . I was always worried about the scars but they are at a minimum . Very skilled at his work. Also Julie is very nice makes you feel very comfortable. The therapy team is amazing as well.

I had anterior total hip replacement on Oct. 21, 2021 performed by Dr. Brian Hecht. The surgery, associates, therapy and Dr. Hecht were amazing! I was on my feet and walking only hours after surgery PAIN FREE, but for the incision area, which was expected. One week later I was going to therapy with nothing more than a cane. The following week I was going to therapy without assistance. Even the therapy team was happy with my quick response to the surgery and getting back so quickly. Only wish I had had it done so much sooner. HIGHLY RECOMMEND DR. HECHT AND HIS TEAM!

I had the best experience when I had to have my hip replaced. Dr. Hecht did an excellent job, along with all of the nurses. I was completely relaxed and joking around with the staff going into surgery. Dr. Hecht made it possible for me to live a normal life without pain and discomfort. I was able to return to work in 2 1/2 weeks with little or no pain. I would recommend Dr. Hecht and NWO to anyone.

I have had 2 total hip replacements in 7 years with Dr. Brian Hecht. I have been completely happy with results of the surgeries and the after care with physical therapy. The treatment of respect that is shown to me by the staff from the receptionist, nurses, PT staff, surgery staff, and especially Julie and Dr. Brian Hecht is what has impressed me the most. They really care about you as an individual. They are very knowledgeable at answering questions and explaining situations that can occur. I am so thankful for all the help that they have provided to me.
