Patient Reviews
Feb 14, 2018
My experience has been nothing but positive. It began with being put into the schedule after I found floaters in my vision. I was out of town and I was scheduled asap. Dr. Heeg immediately saw me and took me straight in to where he could do laser treatment on a detached retina. He thankfully saved me from going to surgery at a hospital because of the timeliness of his actions. I have seen him multiple times since for follow-ups (including a Vitrectomy )and he seems skilled and caring.
