This the most kind and friendly place to come for my healthcare! Everyone's so nice...we get into chatting and laughing about life and time gets away to get done what I came in for! Haha! Keep up the great work you all do for your patients!
November 12, 2024
Dr Heckman is always attentive and willing to look at all options from the concerns that I have shared. Thanks for having her on the staff!!
November 04, 2024
Thanks!
October 30, 2024
Dr. Heckman is by far the best provider I have experienced. I've never had a provider that I could trust and felt listened to before her.
October 25, 2024
The only thing I would change is I want to be able to continue to see provider. She is not accepting new patients which I am very sad about. They were all so kind.
October 25, 2024
It was excellent..I trust Dr Heckman completely and have many times referred her to my family .
October 25, 2024
Becky is an amazing nurse, so easy to talk to and I feel very comfortable. Dr. Heckman is an amazing provider, takes her time to listen, ask, and explain. The lab tech also did a fantastic job and was very nice to talk to.
October 24, 2024
Dr. Heckman is just amazing. She always takes time to thoroughly listen to my concerns and helps finds a variety of solutions it there are some to help me find the best option for me. Becky her nurse is also just the best it's like seeing family when I come into the office. :)
October 23, 2024
Dr Heckman makes me feel like I am the only patient she is seeing that day. She is friendly, curious, and a great listener.
October 17, 2024
I love Dr. Heckman. I feel like I have known her my whole life. I trust her completely.
October 07, 2024
Yes, Dr. Heckman was very awesome and complete. He listened well and was very thorough and checked all the boxes and their staff was just as good. Thank you.
October 04, 2024
Dr. Heckman and her staff are some of the most caring, warmest, and intelligent people. Always greeted with a smile, and every question is answered. She takes the time to hear me, and work together on my needs. She always provides comfort and a good laugh when needed. I can ask anything without feeling embarrassed or judged. Her nurse is the sweetest, and so gentle. Truly some of the best! Thank you for showing a standard of care that is unmeasurable.
September 30, 2024
The alloted time of the appointment is not long enough for an annual physical. There are some issues I did not have a chance to discuss during this too brief annual check-up.
September 27, 2024
Everyone I interacted with was so friendly, they are every time. I am lucky to be a patient of this office!
September 25, 2024
Professional care
September 20, 2024
Dr Heckman is honestly the best.
September 09, 2024
Dr Heckman is an awesome Doctor and Person.. Her nurse Becky is as awesome!! Love the care I receive there!!
August 27, 2024
The provider was caring compassionate. Explained everything and actually listened to my questions. Then provided me with a great answer. She also made sure to let me know at least a couple times that this branch is a safe place. That really put my mind to ease.
August 21, 2024
I spent years going to a doctor that didn't seem that interested or took the time to care for my needs. My friend referred me to you several years ago and everyone we have seen in your clinic his so kind and compassionate. No one seems like they are trying to rush you out the door for another appointment. Everyone seems really interested to help me feel better. I love your clinic.
August 21, 2024
I appreciate the way in which Dr. Heckman listens carefully, explains test results and data, outlines options, gives context for options, and my role in the decision-making process. An outstanding physician!
August 12, 2024
As much as I hate going to the doctor it's always a pleasure with Becky and Dr. Heckman Thank you
July 29, 2024
On the first couple of questions, I did not listen through all the prompts. They both should be five. She was an excellent doctor, excellent at listening and figuring out solutions to my problems. I really am appreciative that I get to be her patient.
July 23, 2024
Dr. Heckman is amazing and truly cares for you as a patient.
July 16, 2024
This facility has put together a well respected team. Excellent, knowledgeable and great communication with people. Highly-rated
July 09, 2024
Becky LPN has been and is always nice to me. She listens and answers any questions I have, if possible. Dr Heckman has taken care of me for a few years. She knows me better than I know myself. She's pretty darn smart, she knows what she's doing.
July 02, 2024
Dr. & nurse made me feel very comfortable during a sensitive examination.
June 26, 2024
Doctor Heckman and the staff are the best health care providers I have ever had. Thank you for your great care.
June 25, 2024
I think Dr. Heckman is a very good doctor and she's very interested in my health and a very caring person. And I really appreciate having her for my doctor.
June 24, 2024
Dr. Heckman is great. I'm glad to have her as my primary care provider. She does a great job listening and offering advice while also recognizing the unique challenges that might make a best practice difficult. She's super relatable and listens well. Explains things well.
June 24, 2024
Dr Heckman & her nurse Becky are simply amazing!!! I feel comfortable in their care. I'm also confident in their decisions in keeping me healthy.
June 24, 2024
Dr Heckman is the best doctor l've ever had in my 66 years! She spends plenty of time with me at my appointments and always asks what questions l have. Dr Heckman makes recommendations regarding medications but let's me make the final decision. She's always positive and very encouraging, focusing on what is going well with my health! But she also recommends changes, particularly with medications, to improve my health. I also appreciate MyChart-being able to communicate with Dr Heckman, request refills, or look at my lab results prior to appointments.
June 21, 2024
I just really appreciate that I don't feel rushed there and she listens to my concerns and addresses them all.
June 21, 2024
So glad Dr Heckman and her staff are there for me and my healthcare needs.
June 11, 2024
Dr. Heckman was fantastic. Very kind and listened and responded appropriately to all questions I had
May 29, 2024
I am thankful to have such an awesome doctor who listens to my concerns
May 28, 2024
This was my first visit with Dr. Heckman as Dr. Dresbach was out of the office and I really liked her and her nurse. Dr. H had spent time to go over my file/records before I am in which tells me that she wanted the whole picture and to be sure that she 'got things right'. I was extremely impressed with her--and I do not impress easily.
May 20, 2024
My provider spends as much time as she possibly can with me. She is so very helpful and so thorough. I could not ask for a better physician. I truly appreciate her and wish that I could have more time with her than her time allots for me. I know that she only has so much time with each patient and I wish there could be more doctors like her because she is truly dedicated to her profession and I like her so much. I really appreciate all that she does to make her visit with me so thorough and so efficient to make sure that I understand what she is trying to tell me.
May 07, 2024
By far, the best family doctor

February 05, 2024
I appreciate that my doctor takes time needed to explain everything to me. Also ask if I have any question.
January 23, 2024
Dr. Kassman has been my care provider for eight years. She has seen me through some very major medical downfalls. I had a feeding tube, chest ports, pancreatitis, liver problems. She was always there every step of the way of my care, finding me specialists, helping me. She's always been listening to me. She always takes the extra minute to make sure that I'm okay and that we both understand the care.
January 22, 2024
Dr Heckman is amazing!
January 15, 2024
Hi, I am *** mom. I'm just doing a survey on behalf of her, but she is listening in. We just want to say that we absolutely adore Dr. Heckman. She's always very welcoming, very thorough, just kind and responsive, and we always enjoy coming to our visits there. So just want to say thank you very much, Dr. Heckman. We love you. Thank you.

Good experience.

Dr. Heckman is a very compassionate Doctor!

This visit was a followup when your office was closed for the predicted weather the day before, a closure I found very surprising for a health care provider especially to be called before any precipitation fell. I assume your office may close with LPS? Because I had a health issue that I felt was important to deal with, I called at 7 the next morning seeking a same day appointment to make up for your closure on Monday. I ended up having to have 3 conversations to schedule because of apparent internal confusion about when your office was opening and the issue that one health care provider couldn't make it in. I also got a contradictory message about my appointment time in mychart, creating more confusion. It sounded to me like the front desk folks and phone answerers were having to deal with a lot of changing parts and undoubtedly frustrated callers. Not a good position to be in. I may have a personal grumpiness about LPS closing school before even a flake has fallen, especially given how many times forecasters have said we're going to get much more snow than arrives. I found it alarming that a health care provider would do the same, assuming you had patients who had much more serious health issues than mine who really needed to see a doctor that day, then were likely frustrated if they felt the weather wouldn't have prevented them from making it to your office. Could you provide a more relaxed cancellation plan if patients didn't feel comfortable driving? If the issue is that your staff had issues with transportation, I may question why people in important health care professions don't have good plans for ensuring transportation for normal January weather. (I'll also note that urgent cares closed early that date, so anyone with any health issue not needing the ER had to wait it out.) It appears that Bryan may have made this call and your office was responding to an order from the bosses. Regardless of how this came about, it seems clear that internal communication could improve and perhaps you need to discuss what constitutes a weather emergency leading to closure for a health care office. In the end, Lincoln received an amount of snow that I would argue is nowhere out of the norm for a day in January, and to find my doctor not available as expected and then to have a fair amount of communication confusion the following day was disappointing. (If all this had happened with 10 inches of snow or an inch of ice, that would have been very understandable.) I am very fond of this office and have had nothing but excellent experiences with Drs. Dresbach and Heckman, Alli and Melissa, and all the nurses and staff. I was scheduled for a physical that date and was eager to ask Dresbach for help on this nagging issue. I was frustrated and surprised by the office closure and couldn't help but think how alarming that would have been if my health issue had been for something more serious. I know you all were following weather predictions that were n [Truncated]

My husband and I believe in her very much. like her. She is very skilled, patient and gave us great treatment.

Probably the best provider/Doctor I've ever had and I am a 62 year old female.

Dr. Heckman listened to my medical concerns for my daughter with a developmental disability. She exhibits a kind, caring, patient manner and is truly interested in my concerns. She is able to answer my questions and is very knowledgeable about my daughter's medical conditions.
