Patient Testimonials

Dr Heller and his staff are amazing.  He is always smiling, kind, and considerate.  I had been to multiple other hand surgeons and had 3 prior operations.  All of these left me in pain and with little function.  I was beginning to lose hope when I first saw Dr Heller.  He reassure me that together we could get to our goal.  After, my surgery I knew immediately that something was different.  I could now move when before I couldn't. Now, a couple months out I am pain free.  My life is changed.  God Bless you Dr Heller!


--Laura L.

I've never had to wait more than 10 minutes in the waiting room, usually less. Very happy with Doctor Heller and staff.

From checking in to getting seen by Doctor Heller was easy, quick, and all the staff and nurse was very friendly. Including the doctor. Made you feel very comfortable. It is a class A facility and giving it five stars because everything was up to par. Especially the staff and nurse very very friendly. I have no photos but if I did I would have took it of all the friendly staff and nurse that was there. Thank you staff, nurse and Doctor Heller.

Avors Medical Group has by far some of the most fantastic doctors that I've seen & I’ve lived in this valley 54 years. Dr. Antebi Did my rotator cuff surgery and did a fantastic job and I have 100% use of my shoulder now. His bedside manner is awesome. He comes in the room and is very friendly and answers all my questions and explains everything to me and is very honest and that means a lot to me.  I also see Dr. Heller for my hand and he is also super nice and friendly, and also informative explains everything and answers all my questions. I would highly recommend Avors Medical Group and especially these two doctors that I’ve had experience.

--Elizabeth M.

Dr. Heller is the best. He is friendly, very knowledgeable and spends the time to listen and explain. Also, the staff up in surgery are super nice and caring. they do everything to make you feel comfortable and at ease with your procedure. It's easy to make an appointment and very little waiting to see your doctor. I wish all medical offices were this efficient.


--Lelah B.

Avors Medical Group is the best!  The staff are very kind and very efficient and Dr. Heller is the AWESOME!  I can't thank him enough for the great work he did fixing my broken hand!  I highly recommend Avors Medical Group and would definitely recommend it to others.

--Audra Z.

My daughter has a severe problem with her hand at 22. She was sent to AVORS and treated by Dr. Heller. He was kind, and respected our need to sign. Good job AVORS.


--Lyra F.

The staff and the doctors are awesome. I always get treated with respect when it rag go there. I love Dr. Antebi and Dr. Heller.

--Rose H.

Dr. Heller is amazing! He operated on our father to correct his dupuytren's contracture, which was severely limiting the movement in his hand for a long time. As he was 80 years old, we were very worried about him undergoing surgery, but it went extremely well and now he can fully use his hand again! Dr. Heller followed him for months, making sure he was healing properly and got the right therapy to regain total movement. And since Dr. Heller is also a plastic surgeon, the scar is not even noticeable. So happy we met him. Highly recommend Dr. Heller.


--J. Paige

I was bit by a dog. Okay, it was my dog. We rescued her in July. In December I thought she was "mine." I overstepped. I know it was my fault. I'm an experienced dog owner but I screwed up. The ER at AV hospital said I needed to let it heal. I seriously had a hole in my face. My GP asked me to text a pic. He texted it to Dr. Heller. My savior. His office called me a half hour later and scheduled me for surgery the next day. I had surgery and, 3 months later, nobody can believe the results. I can see the difference of course, but most can't tell I had any injury. I know if Dr. Heller had not responded I'd be a deformed mess. Can't recommend this facility, and especially Dr. Heller enough. I can't post pictures because I still can't look at the initial wound without feeling faint. Trust me. You can't go wrong. P.S. Although many may think me crazy, I still have the dog and she is nothing but a lovebug.


--Diann C.

I'm seeing Dr. Heller for my hand. I always get treated with respect at that office. I actually look forward to going to see Dr. Heller.


--Rose L.

I recently accidentally severed a tendon in my right index finger, and sought the help of Dr. Heller, who promptly responded to my call and took care of my finger very well.  He was very concerned and caring, calling me almost every day to check on the recovery.  His staff also was very friendly and attentive.  My finger now is just as good as it was before, with full range of motion and no pain, thanks to the excellent care of Dr. Heller and his staff.  I have referred my daughter-in-law to him and she had the same great experience and received the same high level of care.  I will definitely refer everyone to Dr Heller.


--Leonard K.

Dr. Heller is a magician!!!! My mother had a deep bruise and scar on her nose. It was horrible. Dr. Heller was able to go in and fix it. It was truly magically.
