Approachable!
Thorough and completely professional
I was very impressed with Dr. Heffez. He seems to be very knowledgeable and was extremely professional. He gave me a very thorough eye examination and also gave me some things to be aware of and to monitor in reference to my visit. He briefed me on what to do should certain things occur...I was very impressed with that...I have never had a doctor explain to me "what to do" should something specific occurred. I highly recommend Dr. Heffez.
