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.

Dr Heffernan is a careful listener. He spends the time to appropriately order tests, review and make follow up recommendations. He is easily reachable off hours for help with immediate issues. His staff is polite, friendly and most helpful. I have referred family members to Dr Heffernan.

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Heffernan?
Dr Heffernan is patient, methodical in his process of logical deduction in diagnostics to determine what is truly wrong with you when others ignore the obvious.. It is clear he is very passionate about helping people and hates to see them in pain. He takes his time with you and makes you feel heard and cared for more than any other doctor. I am very picky about doctors and he is the only one I trust and I highly recommend as a PCP.
