Provider Review
I cannot even begin to put into words how wonderful Dr. Heider is as a surgeon and as a person. I had the Verticle Sleeve Gastrectomy done and it is hands down the best decision I have made for myself and my health, however, choosing Dr Heider and his team was the best decision I made in trusting someone to perform surgery on me. He truly cares about his patients and puts himself in their shoes and walks every step of the way with them! With a surgery that is so individualized he knows the importance of each patient and understands that each person is different, you are more than just a number to him, you are truly his patient!!! He is professional yet still personable and CARES!!!! Surgery is not always easy but somehow he helps ease and calm your nerves to make it as pleasant as possible. I have been around other bariatric surgeons and I truly cannot say the same about them, there is clearly a reason I chose Dr. Heider and it's simply because he genuinely cares about his patients. I have a surgeon who is relatively close and I chose to drive an hour further just because I felt comfortable. Honestly the drive doesn't even bother me and never was a factor because I know I have NEVER been just another surgery on his list!!! I honestly and truthfully have to thank him for giving me my life back but everytime I thank him he never once takes credit he always tells me, "it's not what I have done I gave you a tool it was up to you to use it" to me this speaks volumes, he performed the surgery and as the patient you get credit for the results!!! He and his staff are quick to respond and are defiantly there for each patient, if you need anything they will ALWAYS be there to help and never make you feel like any question is ridiculous. He knows undergoing bariatric surgery is something new to the patient and while he is willing to help and educate each patient he and his staff are also willing to learn with each patient!!! If you are looking into bariatric surgery please do NOT hesitate to give Dr. Heider a try, trust me when I say you will not for one second regret choosing him as your surgeon!!! I cannot recommend Dr. Heider and his staff enough and believe me I do every chance I get!!!
