Dr. Heksch has always been amazing, and so has all of his nurses and staff. They have been always completely amazing for me and my (age)-year-old.
We've been with Dr. Heksch for the last six years and we've been very thankful for all the care he had the last five years with my daughter and just the transition from grave disease through an ablation, it was wonderful. I cannot praise him enough. We're so thankful for his guidance throughout this process and for treating her and we're very happy as a family. Thank you so much for the service you provide and for having people such as Dr. Heksch that has been such a help to us through transitioning through my daughter's health. Really appreciate it. Thank you.
He is absolutely the best. The best with children, the best with explaining things to us. Just absolutely could not recommend this doctor more. He is amazing.
Dr Heksch has a very nice demeanor that calms my autistic son. He very thorough & answers all my questions. Great endocrinologist!
Dr. Heksch and his staff are amazing. We feel so very fortunate to have him caring for our son. He never makes us feel rushed and helps us anytime we need guidance.
Dr Heksch has been great
He is wonderful
Dr. Heksch went above and beyond to be very thorough with explanations, make sure we understand, make appropriate referrals so that we didn't fall through the cracks, and was overall very attentive to my daughter's diagnosis and made sure her whole family could understand. The office staff are friendly, approachable, made you feel very welcomed, and there was never a long wait. They got you in, they got you out, and just really made the visit fun and understanding. We travel 90 miles to see this provider and would recommend.
Thank you to the doctor for contacting me back so quickly after the test results came in. I was alarmed to see so many "abnormal" flags and was so thankful when you called and put my mind at ease. Everyone I interacted with was friendly and professional. I'm very thankful to have access to such a high quality children's hospital.
child is always treated w/ respect and all aspects of concerns taken into consideration.
