    I will ALWAYS recommend MultiCare Nerosurgery & Spine Center to my circle of people. We are people who are able to afford the for-profit services at NW Specialty Docs. Dr Heller exceeded the services by that group by at least a mile.

    Dr. Heller is the BEST. He cares about each person and listens to all your questions and concerns. I'm coming back to him for a second surgery because he cares and as far as I'm concerned he's THE BEST!

  • Nov, 14 2023
    Dr was excellent in both listening to and explaining the medical details of my concerns.
  • Nov, 13 2023
    In general, he was very well informed on my condition, and very decisive.He gave the overall impression of wanting to essentially wash his hands of my case. There didn't seem to be any desire to reach a long-term solution. It was just more about getting me out of the office.Not suggesting the medical advice is bad, but no real intention to follow through in anyway.

    Dr Heller is so kind and considerate. He is willing to do anything possible to help me.

    Dr Heller was very personable and when he was discussing the "fix" he created an easy to understand drawing. We kept it to "show & tell"family members.

    Dr Heller is remarkably skilled at explaining treatment protocols in simple English in a cordial and very pleasant way. I left feeling very comfortable with OUR decision to go ahead and schedule my surgery.

    The nurse/assistant was a student intern supervised by the regular nurse/assistant.

    Never appears to be in a hurry, listens to all concerns. Plan of action was developed, and Dr Heller made sure I understood and was happy with it
