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.

Unprofessional, lacking empathy,respect
Inpatient consult for my young adult son. Suffering from mysterious autoimmune musculoskeletal disease. He completely dismissed my concerns/reason for consult. Rudely. And, as it turned out, he was wrong. There was a problem and he chose to ignore it.

Dr. Heil replaced my hip, performing the surgery at Colorado Canyons Hospital in Fruita. The whole experience was terrific: planning, surgical procedure, hospital stay, therapy and follow-up. (He encouraged me to walk/use the joint, sharing that most people have problems with joint replacement because they do NOT use the joint, or do their therapy properly.) As my hip joint failure was related to a congenital flaw, I am looking to replace the OTHER in a year or so- hope to return to him again!

My 15 year old son broke his shoulder and had to have emergency surgery. Dr Heil was able to get it set with 3 pins without even cutting into his shoulder. They took the pins out in 3 weeks and he's had a smooth recovery. It's been just a little over 6 months and he is doing great! Even pitching with that arm.

I suppose Dr. Heil is a decent cutter, as my scar from a total knee replacement is minimal. After care left a great deal to be desired. My concerns and those of his head physical therapist were summarily dismissed. It took 16 weeks to get a 12 week appointment due to his delays. When I finally saw him he never even looked at my knee, how I stood or walked. Dr. Heil simply told me to "forget about my knee and get on with my life". Very poor patient care, if you ask me.
