How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

Septoplasty/Rhinoplasty/Turbinate Reduction
For as long as I can remember, I have always had issues and trouble breathing out of my nose. My ENT referred me to Dr. Heckman to discuss what would be needed to fix my breathing issues. Dr. Heckman assessed my nose and suggested that I would need a septoplasty, rhinoplasty and turbinate reduction to help my breathing issues and fix my deviated septum. During my consultation with Dr. Heckman, he took his time answering all of my questions and made sure I understood exactly what was going to be happening in these surgeries. He talked about the surgeries in a way that I could understand and also made sure that I was comfortable with what would be happening. For me, my number one priority going into this was that I would be able to breathe better rather than the cosmetic look of my nose (though I did want it to look good without having to make major cosmetic changes).
The day of my surgery, I met with Dr. Heckman before we went into the procedure, and again, he talked me through what was going to be happening and answered any questions I had. When I woke up from surgery, I felt as great as I could’ve and spent the following week resting and recovering.
Overall, I would say I had a great recovery process! I had minimal bruising/swelling and when I got my cast off a week later basically all of the bruising had already faded away. I am extremely happy with my results - not only can I tell such a difference in my breathing but I love the way my nose looks as well. I can now take deep breaths in and out through my nose and breathe normally. It has seriously been life changing. I would highly recommend Dr. Heckman if you are looking to get any of these surgeries done. Not only was he extremely professional, but he also made me feel very comfortable and confident with choosing him as my doctor.
