The team at Heiden is the best in the state; Dr. Dickerson had me walking less than 5 weeks post op after an ortho at the U told me I wouldn’t be doing anything for 4 months. Last year, I saw Dr. Zipnick who fixed my back (after being mis-diagnosed elsewhere). The doctors at Heiden know their stuff, seriously. And to top it off, the rest of the staff is incredibly kind and welcoming. Their scheduling team is fantastic at getting you an appointment in a reasonable time frame. I won’t go anywhere else (since I seem to be a frequent flyer there now) and would HIGHLY recommend these guys.

Dr. Dickerson was beyond compassionate caring and the most incredible to help my foot which managed to get a staph infection repaired. The entire staff is beyond the best I have ever encountered and I do hope that if I ever need to use them in the future that they are going to stay that way they are six stars out of five and I do recommend them to anyone who happens to have any issues with their feet they should go directly to this location and talk you get dr. Dickerson. I could not be more pleased with the way I have been treated and the way I have been healed.

Dr. Jason Dickerson is incredible. I previously had bunion surgery on my left foot as a teen; however, it did not heal correctly. I researched many doctors extensively, but was most impressed with Dr. Dickerson. He thoroughly explained the bunion fusion procedure and offered an additional suggestion to shorten my second toe to allow me to run pain free in the future. Other doctors had missed this. It is now 2.5 months since the surgery. The scar is very minimal, I am not in any pain and I have started to jog slowly. I would highly recommend him to everyone!

Absolutely love Dr. Dickerson. I recently had bunion surgery with Dr. Dickerson and the experience was very positive. I had hardly any discomfort after the surgery. He is an excellent surgeon and is very personable and caring. I would recommend anyone that has any problems with their feet to go see him. Also the staff is wonderful. When my other bunion gets bad enough he will definitely be my surgeon.
