Dr. Heffelfinger is a compassionate but direct PCP. He listens and answers questions in a way I understand. Never seems hurried. Smiles and makes eye contact. Thanks.

The check in was a breeze, thanks to HHCs online check in procedure. The wait in the exam room was a little longer than usual but was not a problem. As usual, the staff was friendly and helpful. The visit with Dr Hefelfinger was enjoyable and very helpful. All in all, a pleasant experience.

Dr Heffelfinger, medical and office staff are great ! Dr. Hef was my dad's PCP for years and knew just what to say kindly to keep him going and not worry. I am fortunate I became a patient of his after my Dad passed. All other Drs my Dad and I have dealt with were never like him or his staff. They will answer your questions immediately if possible and will return your calls to address your concerns. Even on a Friday before they leave, something almost unheard of these days. He is very knowledgeable and willing to work with you when needed. Dr. Heffelfinger and staff are definitely the best care team I have ever had !!! Sincerely, Mike

Best doctor ever! Dr. H takes the time to listen to your medical issues and directs you to proper channels to resolve them. I can’t say enough about how wonderful he is. Now, he is the Primary Care doctor for most of my family.
