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.

Don't waste your time
unfortunately no matter how good this doctor is he will make you wait and never be on time for an appointment. Your time is not important to him as they over book patients. You have to wait past your appointment time in the waiting room then they finally put you in a 'to be seen' room and you wait another 30 minutes in there.

Like an original, but not any pain!
Just wanted to give a further update on the left knee replacement done by Dr. Heidenreich in 2016. The ROM in the knee is fantastic. Never any pain and I use the recumbent bike and treadmill 5 days a week at the gym. I'm amazed at how the replacement has given me back my mobility. Oh, and I'm 80 years old.

I had a severe break in my right ankle in September of 2019. I was blessed to arrive at the ER at St. Margret's to find Dr. Heidenreich would be my surgeon. I was worried I would never walk again but I have full recovery thanks to a great surgeon. He is kind and explains everything. No question was a stupid question. I highly recommend this wonderful doctor. J Bracken, Ally. Two., Leechburg, Pa.

I felt like he didn’t listen to me. He seemed hurried. He didn’t respond to some of my comments concerning my active lifestyle and my need for mobility. Disappointed.

I have seen Dr. Heidenreich for several different problems over the last 10 years. I have total satisfaction and confidence in him. Great bedside manner for those (like me) who are not happy with needles and surgery.
