    How was your appointment with Dr. Hefter?

    Feb 18, 2023
    Dr. Hefter has to be the most knowledgeable physician who I've gone to in a long time. After suffering with a paronychia for weeks on end and not being correctly treated by other physicians, I ended up with wonderful Dr. H. Within 2 days of his cauterizing my finger, it was back to its normal size. I can't recommend him enough!! FABULOUS doctor. The receptionist was kind enough to fit me when she heard how long I was walking around with this. I am grateful to both of them.
