Patient Reviews
Mar 22, 2024
Dr Heffernan was able to fit me in for a consultation before a big vacation and gave me a cortisone shot and a plan of action for my shoulder problem. He answered all my questions and made me feel at ease. When it was time for surgery he listened to my concerns and performed an excellent repair.
