WORSE DOCTOR EVER! SHE IS A BULLY AND HAS NO CONSIDERATION FOR PATIENTS. 1ST AND LAST APPOINTMENT WITH HER AS SHE WOULDN'T EVEN LISTEN TO ME WHEN I WAS TRYING TO EXPLAIN MY PAIN. SHE MADE AN ASSUMPTION ABOUT ME AS SOON AS SHE SAW ME. PLEASE DO NOT GO SEE HER IF YOU WANT PAIN RELIEF.

This doctor is very crabby and judgmental. She made me very uncomfortable and even criticized my primary doctor’s treatment. Very bad attitude. I have never met a doctor like this before. I was afraid to open my mouth. I answered her snotty questions as briefly as possible. I will never have this doctor treat me for anything. Doctors are supposed to help people and care for their patients, not make them feel worse.

Dr. Heller has helped me with back, shoulder and knee issues. She is personable, deferential and respectful. She has taken the time to ask questions and provide information. She has explained the various treatment options and supported my decisions. I can recommend her wholeheartedly.

I love Dr. Heller. 14 years ago. I had a stroke and through the years I’ve. Had trouble with falling due to dragging my left foot. I had much rehab, but the problem was never corrected. Dr. Heller, who after a few minutes, diagnosed my problem, drop foot. She sent me, with prescription, to a place that makes leg braces. I can report the following: I stand up straight when I walk, I walk with confidence without fear of tripping, and my quality of life is greatly improved. My wife and I thank you

Rude, off-putting, and horrible bedside manner. She does not listen. She is argumentative. She has zero patience. She dismissed my complaints. Within minutes she stated that there is probably nothing that can be done to help. I ended up terminating the exam and walked out. Why DMG still has her on staff is beyond me. I have never reviewed a doctor before but she wins the prize now!
She needs serious professional remediation.

Over the past 15 years I have had several cortisone shots from Dr. Heller for back and sciatic pain with spinal stenosis, including in the last 2 years. Each time she has been competent, courteous, professionally accurate, and I have been pain free because of her treatment. I cannot recommend her highly enough to my friends and colleagues--I am an RN.

36 years experience!?! Of what?!? She told me I had a muscle cramp...a few days later I was at immediate care with a possible meniscus tear! I don't have a medical degree, but I know more than this lady! She doesn't let you say anything or answer her questions. She doesn't listen...which might help with the proper diagnosis! Her appointments are blunt and cold. A WASTE of my time.

I had multiple compression fractures. Heller's diagnosis was lumbago. She sent me to the wrong therapy which made it worse. When I told her the therapy wasn't working, she acted like I was trying to take advantage of my company disability. I should have had an x-ray. Finally went to orthopedic surgeon who was shocked at my condition and placed me in a back brace for several months. She has had a detrimental effect on my quality of life. Stay away from her.

I would like to update my post on Barbara Heller. I went and had another EMG done at Barrington Orthopedic and let me tell you, it was a Night and Day difference! There was absolutely no pain! I flew through the EMG with no problems. This leads me to believe that Barbara Heller should Not be administering any EMG tests! If she had a bad day that day, She should have stayed home! I called Concentra's corporate office and filed a complaint! Stay away from this doctor!
