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.

Excellent
Dr Heda is wonderful! She diagnosed my illness at the height of the covid pandemic (May 2020). She did not delay, moved quickly, and listened to everything I had told her was going on. She did bloodwork in the office, sent me for an xray same day and a ct scan next day. I ultimately had to go to the hospital as it became an emergency based on the testing and she called me to inform me of that within 1 hour of my ct scan. Once I was at the hospital, she even personally called me while I was in triage to check in as she didn't see me checked into the hospital. She most likely saved my life (cancer diagnosis). I am forever grateful!

Doesn’t Listen to Actual Problems and Rude
I tell her about my chronic health problems that have been an issue for 2 years and how nothing helps and she blames it on morning coffee because she can’t function properly if she has coffee… what does that have to do with me?

Instead of giving bloodwork results over the phone she makes you come in for another sppt. Just recently moved and she won't refill my meds until I find a new doctor.

No, Due to her staff and their total lack of professionalism i cannot recomend dr heda anymore. This is not the staff the main st. Islip location , but dr heda personal staff on brentwood rd.. the fact that i was allowed to go without medication i have taken for 23 years( non-opiodes) in an emergency situation is beyond cruel. It caused me to have an stress related illness occur.
