Thomas A. Heck, MD

Very good visit.

Easy and quick appointment. Dr. Heck is very personable and listened to my concerns and gave options.

i see a lot of doctors, because of a medical condition I have. Dr. Heck is one of my favorites.

Very friendly nice doctor

Dr. Heck told me I needed to have a reflector inserted and have my lumpectomy after that but it wasn't clear if I needed to schedule those appointments or if they would call me to schedule. I called the office the next day and the scheduler said that the clinical staff would call me back but I didn't hear from them. Other than that everything was great.

Make sure to tell patients to proceed to check out. Some offices have the tech come back in. I had to ask someone in hallway.

Dr. Heck was so kind and patient with me. He helped me weigh the discussions for surgery. I had very little pain after surgery and I think the scar will be minimal.

I have been going to The James and was never shown a chart that showed my risk of developing breast cancer. After looking at family history, Dr. Heck provided me with the risk factors and determined that one test I was getting is not necessary. He explained everything to me and answered all my questions and concerns.

Fantastic

I was very happy with the doctor and his staff. They were all very friendly, thorough, and skilled. Plans were made for future treatment, and I am completely confident that my treatment will accomplish everything I want it to.

This was a positive experience in a scary situation. Dr Heck was clear at the beginning of the appointment that there was no malignancy. Then he explained all the unfamiliar terms in the biopsy report to expain. The staff was friendly and even gave a little cheer when I came out and told them I didn't need a followup. Really appreciated the atmosphere in the office which was calm and upbeat.

I never have had any problem or issue with this provider or office.

compassionate and caring.

I hope that no one else needs Dr. Heck, but if they do for breast cancer, he's the most compassionate and caring doctor. I recommend him to everyone.
