  • I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Dr. Karen Heiden & her entire staff. In the past, she’s operated on (2) of my fingers. I’m now scheduled for thumb surgery & wouldn’t want anyone but her to do it!Jody Babin
  • Dr. Heiden was a huge help when I went to the ER on a Saturday afternoon and did a great job very quickly. Her assistant Shay made removing stuck bandages as pleasant as it could be and really cared about my pain. The office staff was kind enough to let me wait inside after closing for my ride.Josh Anderson
  • Whenever I tell the story about breaking my arm and surgery, I always mention how great Karen and Heiden orthopedics did with the entire experience. The surgery went flawless and now I'm back to 100%. 10/10Jovian Peters
  • Heiden orthopedics has wonderful customer service and wonderful doctors/surgeons!Megan Powell
  • Dr. Karen Heiden is amazing. Legit. Rockstar. I initially saw her in July 2019 for a broken wrist that resulted from an off-road motorcycle accident. She operated on me the next week, installing a plate and 10 screws. Five months later after the bone was healed she performed a second operation to remove the hardware, thereby setting me up for full range of motion recovery. This lady knows her stuff, and I'd highly recommend her to anyone with a hand or wrist injury. Her staff is also excellent.Victor Gold
