He gets straight to the point and doesn't sugar coat anything, which is what I like! My lumbar fusion went great and I was back to work in two weeks! Couldn't have asked for anyone better!

Dr. Heck knew I was experiencing extreme back pain. He did an X-ray and exam and then told me he wanted me to start with physical therapy, and he would see me again in a month. He offered no prescription to help with immediate relief of my severe pain. He indicated that losing weight would be advisable. All fine, but I had been experiencing frequent sharp stabbing pains for days and left there with nothing to help. He suspected inflammation yet gave me nothing to stop the tremendous pain..
