Patient Reviews
Dec 19, 2023
This man is an incredible pediatric orthopedic surgeon! He recently fixed my 5 year old son's broken arm by placing 4 pins in it. My wife and I feel extraordinarily lucky that Dr Hefferman was assigned to be our kids surgeon! This guy is the real deal! If he has to operate on your kid... you are truly in the best hands possible.
