Patient Reviews
Jul 23, 2023
My journey has been long. Being at my whits end and 95 years old I was losing hope that I would be able to live a productive day to day lifestyle. The team at Doctor Heffernans office , shout out to Talia Coppola APRN ,who was patient and knowledgeable. Because of my frustration Talia recommended the placement of a Suprapubic tube into my bladder. Doctor Heffernan performed the procedure and found kidney stones That he removed during the same procedure. Two days after surgery I’m already feeling like a New person. I highly recommend Dr Heffernans office, the entire staff is welcoming and patient driven. Thank you to EVERYONE AT Wakefield Urology, from the warm greeting of the front desk staff on down the line my experience with this team has been exemplary! ~E.Hayden
