Vitals Patient
[Dr. Heerwagen] was knowledgeable, professional, but also personal. I felt that he saw me as a person and not just another operation he was performing. He answered my questions in a way that was understandable to a lay person.

Dr Heerwagen is absolutely great! Never thought I’d find a knee Dr that I like as much as Dr Fred Barnes but I think he just might make the grade! He is so knowledgeable and has a great bedside manner. Ok, so he can’t talk like Donald Duck, but he’s a keeper any way.
