Dr.Heller was excellent in all professionalism, everything he told me was accurate, surgery on rotator was great, recovered fully without any complaints or complications, he’ll do his part but you have to do yours ( go to therapy and home exercise ), it’s crucial if you desire to be whole again, thanks Dr. Heller !!!!

I went to Dr. Heller for a cyst on my wrist. He is very personable, friendly, and cares about his patients! He listened to all of my concerns and was able to fit me into his surgical schedule quickly. Highly recommend Dr. Heller!

EXCELLENT RECONSTRUCTIVE SHOULDER SURGERY.I separated my AC joint — badly — in a biking accident. I was 26, it was the first major medical issue I’d ever had in my life, and I was terrified. When I first visited Midland Orthopedic I initially saw one of Dr Heller’s colleagues, who then directed me to Dr Heller because he’s the expert on the most advanced reconstructive shoulder procedures. Dr Heller explained to me what the surgery was, what would probably happen if I got it, and what would probably happen if I didn’t. He patiently answered not only the specifics of my anxious questions, but the spirit of what I was trying to say: Is everything going to be ok, Doc? Am I going to be able to bike and swim and climb again?Dr Heller did not tell me everything was going to be alright — instead, he did something better. He helped me be ok with the fact that things were not ok. He didn’t promise to erase all my problems — surgery is trauma in itself and there was potential for plenty of complications. But he has 30 years of school and decades of practice under his belt, and he confidently told me the facts: that the potential payoff overwhelmingly outweighed the risks, that this procedure was my best bet for making a full return to sports, and that he wanted to help me enjoy the many years of physical activity I had ahead of me.I’m writing this review half a year later. My surgery came and went with zero complications. Very quickly, I could tell that having all my bones back in the right place was a massive improvement over where they’d been before. After three months, and some standard physical therapy, I was swimming and biking with my family on our beach vacation. Today I’ve got all my range of motion back, am swimming laps at the pool twice a week, and have already begun returning to weight lifting. Dr Heller (who it turns out also injured his own shoulder in a biking accident years ago), tells me that I’ll continue to see improvement for some time. During my last checkup, I looked him straight in the eye and said, “I am really happy.”I highly recommend Dr William Heller for arthroscopic shoulder reconstructions.

I went to this person and suggest you run......OMG, 90 minutes wait time and 4 to 5 minutes in examining room. He grabbed the wrong arm and pushed it over my head. My head hit the wall and the arm has not yet recovered. The arm he grabbed had had rotator cuff surgery not even 4 months prior. HELP. I think he was stunned as much as I was at his aggressive and unprofessional action. I was not there concerning that arm. He flew out of the office. I am 63 years old, damn save yourselves, it is to late for me.
