About Dr. Hecker
“Why would a surgeon talk me out of surgery?”
Because after 30 years in practice I have seen what surgery costs people in time, scar tissue and recovery. I completed a two-year surgical residency and I am a skilled surgeon. I still do everything I can to help patients without it, even when other doctors say they cannot help.
Dr. Tom Hecker, DPM
