I had watched the presentation Dr. Heidenreich provided by UPMC via Zoom explaining the knee replacement procedure, so I came well informed by that excellent presentation, and was able to ask very specific questions which Dr. Heidenreich answered. The watching of the presentation is what prompted my request for an appointment with Dr. Heidenreich at Three Rivers Orthopedic
- 3 out of 5 starsReviewed on 5/4/2023
The doctor is very knowledgeable, but I did not feel very engaged. We barely spoke. It may be because he was running late but if I had to wait to be seen, then when it is my turn, I shouldn't be rushed in my appointment. I was dissatisfied.
