Patient Reviews
Reviews
I've been here several times and I'm very impressed. So professional and knowledgeable. I'm glad I left West.
My friend highly recommended your office. She was not mistaken. I was treated professionally, and with respect I had a very minor procedure, which was taken care of during the appointment. I can’t see enough to recommend this office and staff. They are outstanding.
Very attentive and competent staff. No extended wait times. Dr Heffernan is stellar in his approach and interaction with you during evaluation and treatment.
