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.

His assistant Jacob is a very pleasant young man and put me at ease s soon as he walked in the door. Dr. Hetrick did as well and he explained where we are to go from here.

My introduction to Neurology
At my first visit to a neurologist to find definitive cause for symptoms I began to experience, resulted in a fairly thorough exam that led me to further testing. This gives me comfort that I'm on the right track. I look forward to my follow up with Dr Hetrick, who was very professional and a very good communicator.

Excellent patient care!
I saw Dr. Hetrick for an injection for carpal tunnel on my right wrist. He was very professional and the procedure was very quick and not painful at all. His staff was kind and professional. The check in and check out procedure was easy and efficient. I would definitely recommend this practice.

Hetrick is dismissive and condescending and not as competent a Dr he would like you to believe. He and staff also seem to know very little about nutrition as it relates to neurology. Find a Dr who cares. See the smiling picture of Hetrick on this page? In real life I have never seen him smile, mostly smug and stoic and a terrible listener.

Avoid this Neurologist – Sep 27, 2019
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Hetrick?
I recently had an appointment with Dr. Hetrick & found him to be kind,a good listener,thoughtful in considering my bizarre neurological symptoms, & finally, after many years of trying to determine what my baseline problem is, he was able to provide a differential diagnosis that made perfect sense. My only complaint had to do with his nurse practitioner, whom the patient must see prior to seeing this physician. She seemed uncaring & didn't seem to listen particularly well, which was unfortunate.

I've been a patient of this office for over 10 years.The staff there are outstanding, they have excellent customer service skills. I have never had to wait for an appointment, never had to be on hold, my phone calls were always returned. Dr. Hetrick and Robyn were very attentive and personable with me and I'm sure with all their patients. I've referred several friends to there office.
