He is lacking in bedside manners, compassion, listening skills and in overall caring empathy for his patients. RETIRE
I didn't feel like he listened to me. I know my body and what is wrong. I feel like I wasted my time going there.
Verified patient
I felt like I was in a low income clinic. The wait was too long and I had to remind them to collect my co-pay.
Verified patient
Rushed. Assumptions. Didnt get to speak. Disregarded my symptoms without trying to analyze. Strange.

Extremely polite people; quick in & out with no fuss.
Verified patient
He is the man. I like him a lot.
Verified patient
Dr. Heisler told me I had 10 minutes and then he had to move on to his next patient. Even though I had a few symptoms going on, he only wanted to know what my primary complaint was for making the appointment. I felt rushed and completely irrelevant. I will find a new doctor who cares about his patients and not his productivity percents.

Verified patient
I didn't approve of the way theDr. acted when he found out i wason pain meds. I didn't go there with pain, it was fenale problems & the Dr. acted like he was embarrassed to talk about female problems. I think the P.A i seen the first time was better.
Verified patient
Most terrible appt. I have ever had at Communicaare. He was running late by an hour. Barely came in and it felt like he was in a hurry. He had not read my file and I have provided extensive records. I was asked.why I needed my walker an indication that my file had not been reviewed. Why was I on a PAP program . why was I prescribed particular meds. When asked why he did not refill my gabapentin prescription when the phamacopia clearly states one should be reduced gradually from this medication. I also keep detailed records for my blood sugars...nlood pressure...oximeter rates he was not interestef in looking at any of these. He said he was only interested in my A1c. I had to adk for a full blood panel.as.I am on a lchf diet and was interested in cholesteral levels as well as potasium levels. I felt treated like I was ignorant. I am a teacher of special needs children by trade. In the past.I have never felt rushed or discounted at all. This guy acted hurried and disinterested. I will never see him again and would suggest no one else see him. I probably should have seen a vet and would have been happier.

Verified patient
I really liked Dr Heisler because he was very informative. He was very pleasant and answered all of my questions. His staff were outstanding.
Verified patient
My appointment was at 10:50 . I got in and was not seen until 11:24. We were doing follow up on my diabetes and had contacted the clinic that I wanted to talk about my right hand and arthritis . Dr came in said my Blood pressure was good , to keep on doing what I was doing . Asked if I needed a refills and left. Total time between 3-5 minutes.
Verified patient
What kind of doctor dismisses the patient's concerns and says they don't know about female issues? I have always had family doctors prescribe birth control pills for menstral cycle symptoms. This was a complete waste of time and money.
Verified patient
I understand that this is a low income clinic but that should not imply patients are going be treated as a low priority. The entire appointment was rushed. This has been the second time it has been this way. The physician is already out the door before I could even complete my thought. This is why people end up in emergency rooms, lack of adequate preventative care.
He was very nice and went over everything and asked me if I had any other questions, which I appreciated. I think we all get nervous going over Lab work and that kind of stuff and he made me feel at ease.
Verified patient
He is knowledgeable and made me aware of health issues I didn't know I had. He slo took immediate measures to address those issues.
It is not possible to reach the Dr's office by phone, and the pharmacy also couldn't reach the office for a refill causing me to run out of meds.
Verified patient
Was the second time to see him. Was a lot more informative and attentive. Hope to keep this doctor for a longer period of time.
Dr. Heisler appeared to understand my problems health-wise. He listened to what I had to say and seem to understand. He also made recommendations to get for their help.
