Dr. John Heinbockel, MD

This is the worst doctor I have ever seen in my long life! He is the only doctor that destroyed nerves in my body that have not recuperated after almost 4 years of PT and Acupuncture.I am an extremely healthy female that never had anything wrong with the nerves in my feet and legs until this very bad doctor gave me a spinal for my orthopedic procedure in June 2021. I have seen two neurologists since he did my spinal, and the nerves of my feet have never been the same, and both of them said I have very little function of the nerves in the feet and legs.As an advanced yogi, I never had this before, and I certainly would’ve noticed going every day to an advanced yoga class if I had trouble with my feet and legs.Now, when I walk forward sometimes if I’m not concentrating, the foot goes out to the side and catches on a chair or a corner andit can trip me.

No. Very poor bedside manner. Not professional.

My experience has not been positive. It is now almost 3 months since my operation and I continue to have a problem with my vocal cords due to the intubation during my surgery at West Marion Hospital. I'm told in time it may be fine but in the mean time it has been hard to socialize and communicate with others. He did call me after I gave him a poor rating, but I imagine due to legal matters he will not contact me after the second review sent to his office.
