What patients say
“I came to the practice with acute complaints and right from the first appointment plenty of time was taken and I was listened to attentively.”
“I suffered from severe groin pain. Dr. Heppt adjusted my back and since then I have been pain-free. A very experienced and competent doctor.”
“I had foot surgery 2 weeks ago. Everything was perfectly organised at this practice. The operation went very well. The outpatient surgery centre is also excellently organised. It simply could not have gone better ;) Thank you!”
