Dr Hekman has not only saved my life, but greatly improved the quality as well. I trust his ability completely.
As a new doctor, he took all the time needed to get to know me. I never felt rushed, quite the opposite, he kept asking more questions, listened very carefully, offered solutions. It was a very good dialogue, I was able to ask and tell him all kinds of questions. And his 'bedside' manner was terrific - just the right kind of listening to me, picking up on my "cues", following up with more questions, understanding what I was telling him. He took me seriously, without patronizing me. He gave advise specific to me, not general how-to-stay-healthy information. That was great.
Helpful, caring attention to questions and treatment.
I LOVE Dr. Hekman. He actually listens and cares about his patients. If you are lucky enough to be his patient, you have found the BEST doctor!
