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. Heckert was very thorough in my son's exam after he was injured at school. We ended up in the office for several hours but I left feeling like every thing had been properly evaluated. He was very good at explaining what he was looking for with each test he performed. Yes, it was a lot of time in the office but I was grateful that he was able to squeeze us in!

Our son has been seeing Dr. Hackert since he was one. We have been through two surgeries and countless appointments. His patience and attention to detail are top notch. We have had nothing but wonderful experience with him and his entire staff. I would highly recommend him for any pediatric optometry needs!

My daughter has been seeing Dr. Heckert for the last 8 years. When she was one we took her for her first appointment where we learned she was leagally blind. Dr. Heckert and his staff have been amazing and far exceeded our hopes and expectations! The first several years we had appointments every two weeks and the staff watched our family grow and we got to know each others families. Dr. Heckert and his staff are very thorough and informative. Everyone I've met that has seen him has praised him.
