Patient Reviews
“Started having extreme pain in my knee over the weekend. I called today (Monday) and was able to make an appointment for this afternoon. Dr. Scott Heithoff recommended injections to help with my problem, as the injections were successful in the past. I received my first injection today and have two more scheduled over the next few weeks. I'm very thankful for such a caring and knowledgeable doctor. ”
