I was able to schedule an appointment quickly. When I arrived there was no additional paperwork. I was seen immediately, barely even a second to sit down in the waiting room. Had all my x-rays done on site and was in and out in less than an hour. My treatment plan has worked as I’ve had no pain since my visit. Excellent service! Would highly recommend to anyone!

I’ve been seeing the dr for about 6 months when I first seen him I could hardly stand or walk on my right foot. I had seen 2 other dr over the past 2 years with hardly any relief. Dr Helieg has gave me my life back. I would highly recommend him.
November 27, 2024Teresa W.Verified patient
Steve the technician was cracking jokes the whole time. 4th doctor I’ve been to for my foot and I feel I was actually heard and not just sold stuff. Finding good help is close to impossible. If anybody is in Kentucky and need somebody who will take Medicaid; which is also a nightmare. Go here.
August 6, 2024Gregory K.Verified patient
The Dr is wonderful, I have had pain in my right foot for about 3years. I’ve seen several Dr’s but know one helped me. The pain every time I set my foot on the floor has been horrible excruciating pain. I’ve had injections for the past 3 years with hardly any relief. I’ve been seeing Dr Helig for about 3 months and my pain is almost gone I feel he has given me my life back. I highly recommend him.
July 20, 2024Teresa W.Verified patient
My experience with Dr. Michael Heilig was exceptional. The visit was efficient and responsive, and Dr. Heilig wasted no time in formulating a treatment plan. The staff was incredibly friendly and made the entire process feel personalized. Despite the 90-minute drive, I found the expertise and care provided by Dr. Heilig well worth the journey. I highly recommend him to anyone seeking a knowledgeable and efficient orthopedist.

March 12, 2024Anita J.Verified patient
It was nice to actually get to meet with a Dr instead of the PA. It was also nice to get a next day appointment. The Dr showed deep concern and actually talked me out of my want of a knee replacement.
