Dr. Heier performed an ankle replacement 13 years ago on my right ankle. The new appliance provides me mobility without pain! I appreciate and respect this office and the care I’ve received.

A University of Pennsylvania graduate, Dr. Heier earned his M.D. from the University of Florida (ranking third in his class) before completing his residency at Baylor College of Medicine and a fellowship at Florida Orthopedic Institute.

These advances in surgical techniques and implants now allow for faster recovery and earlier weight-bearing.
