Dr. Dickerson at Heiden Orthopedics is a true miracle worker. I had been told by several other podiatrists that the surgery I needed would have taken three months to recover form, and being a teacher that would not work. It only took me about six weeks to recover and be back in a regular shoe. The staff is great and they are very good to work with if you have questions or if a problem arises. I will only go to Heiden Orthopedics for my future orthopedic care.

My experience with Dr. Dickerson was excellent. He took the time to explain the process of my surgery. After my surgery he didn't leave me hanging. I saw him every two weeks (without co-pay) until I had healed enough to be released from his care. He always had a smile and was happy to see his "favorite patient". I'm sure he said that to all of his patients. I recommended him to my daughter. She really likes him also.
