Building elevator may be new, but it is very difficult. Arrived at lobby floor on its way down, but I didn't get on because I was going up. Then elevator didn't stop at lobby level on way up!

I feel as if the doctor saw me as a walking dollar sign. For a 10% chance if developing breast cancer, what he recommend was extremely drastic. Oh, but it will lower my chances of developing breast cancer by 90%. I already have a 90% of not developing breast cancer. I'll be getting a 2nd option Thank You very much.

The receptionist is very kind and professional. She works efficiently and interacts well with patients. One of the best I have ever encountered. Dr. Heck is always welcoming, engaging, a good listener and shares information in an understandable way. He is the consummate professional. I wish every doctor I encounter had his professionalism and demeanor.

He was informative but I still have to deal with the pain with no answers other than it is not cancer. He mentioned meds had not changed but doses had changed.

From Lakeside, the sign board by the elevators did not list Gem City Surgeons. There was no one at the information desk. Had a blank and couldn't remember which floor or suite number for Dr. Heck. Suggest adding this information.

The friendly staff is a pleasure to work with and Dr.Heck is a wonderful person who is compassionate and thorough in his explanation of how to do self care & previously before surgery to answer any questions. Unlike some Drs I've personally experienced that take offense if you ask questions. And 'fire' you.
