Hugh E. Hetherington, MD Reviews

My Wife had a consultation with him and he wanted to do a radical invasive surgery to biopsy a small growth. We did not want this but were told only way to proceed. Got a second opinion and second doctor was shocked that this was what Hetherington wanted to do. He suggested that if needed a simple needle biopsy was sufficient, but didnt even think that was necessary. Second doctor recommended watching for a time and we did and it went away. Hetherington would have done major invasive surgery immediately for no good reason.

I had a deviated septum surgery years ago that Hugh Heathering did. I looked like I got hit by a baseball bat after surgery. Terrible experience. There has been absolutely no change. I wish I had not gone to him, as I don't think he knows what he is doing. He has no bedside manner and seems put out by the littlest thing. If you're considering a surgery look elsewhere.

My daughter needed a simple hearing test. Heatherington also insisted on an office visit, during which he damaged her ear. He admitted putting a hole in the tissue at the time and seemed pretty nervous. The nurse was very reassuring. We went back a couple weeks later to make sure everything was healed and I mentioned that I didn't think we should get billed for this visit since it was his fault. He pretended to have no memory of what had happened and treated us like complete idiots. Anyone can make a mistake, but he showed no character at all. I would never recommend him to anyone.

If I could give 10 stars, I would, and heres why - not because of gimmicky ads or a fancy office, its because when Im having surgery and my 2 year old is having surgery, I want a responsive office staff and a surgeon who is precise, thoughtful, and competent. Hugh is all of those things and more. His nurses and staff are those things too. He and his nurse practitioner, Hillary, are such a complimentary packaged deal.

Professional and effective treatment without the nonsense.

Very dissatisfied with results of my supposed face-lift. The procedure was 8 hrs. long, I was extremely bruised. My neck looks better but my cheeks have horizontal wrinkles now that look worse than ever. My dark spots were treated with laser and none of them went away. The $8,000.00 price was a total waste of money. I will now go to a doctor who actually specialized in PLASTIC SURGERY to get my face fixed the right way. Look for a certified plastic surgeon and not a doctor who says he is 'board certified'. My new procedures are also much easier on my pocketbook.

I had a procedure done several years ago and a follow up not too long ago. Dr. Hetherington is skilled. I wouldn't trust anyone else. And his nurses are the BEST.

I had a breast augmentation about 8 years ago. After swelling went down I noticed one implant was on top of the muscle and the other was underneath. When I went in for a post operative check I expressed my concern and he reassured me everything would be fine and it shouldn't be that much of a difference. I was young, naive, and believed him.Over the years the implant on top of the muscle started to really weigh down my skin and stretch it out, including my nipple. Now that nipple is about twice the size of the other. Also you can see the entire implant outline versus the other one you cannot. Not only is it aesthetically displeasing but since one implant has had more support (from being under the muscle), it has caused physical issues as well. Not only am I super self conscious about the way I look now but I also have to dish out three times the amount I initially paid to improve my breasts just to get them fixed.

Had a bad ear infection and ear felt clogged (even though it wasn't). His office tested me for hearing loss which there is slightly due to the infection. I told him my symptoms and he looked in my ear and then proceeded to take a foot long probe instrument and directly scraped my ear drum saying there was a little ear wax on my ear drum (he showed me the instrument, and there was next to nothing on it. Excruciatingly painful. Before he did it, I asked if there was a fluid he could put in there to wash out my ear instead-- he just shook his head and said 'nah'. I would not recommend him to anybody. He didn't help my condition, gave me no advice and left me on my way.

If I could give zero stars I would. My mother had a hematoma from an implant placed 27 years ago. Dr. Hetherington removed the hematoma along with the implant. After the surgery, fluid kept returning (he did not remove the capsule) and his recommendation was needle aspirations to remove the fluid until it stopped coming back. After multiple times of falling through the cracks of Dr. Hetherintons schedule and being 'forgot' about, and after EIGHT needle aspirations, we decided to seek a second opinion, only to find that the fluid would never stop returning if the capsule was not removed. Dr. Hetherington should not be practicing. He does not take the patients concern, questions, or needs/wants into consideration when discussing/proceeding with treatment. He does not listen to anything you say and does not answer any questions or concerns that you have. Pre-op he will make you feel as if you are being cared for, but the second the surgery is done you are sent on your way, simply to become a statistic. If you do not take your care into your own hands you would not be seen again. As a medical professional myself, my first priority in patient care is hearing and addressing the patients concerns. Making sure they are comfortable with and understand the procedures, and working together to a common goal of both parties. If you want to be taken care of from start to finish and want to see the results you have asked/seeked medical help for, DO NOT see Dr. Hetherington.

Dr. Heatherington has been my Dr. for the last 15 years. Without Dr. Heatherington's amazing surgical abilities I wouldn't be here typing this. Since the time of my surgery I have had a fair number of Dr's. in other facilities including Mayo make unsolicited comments about what a fine job he did on the radical neck dissection he performed that removed a very aggressive cancer and quite frankly saved my life! When my cancer is mentioned among people that don't know me well the most common comment I get is 'Gosh, I hadn't even noticed'. That's quite a compliment to Dr. Heatherington's ability when you figure he removed about a 5th of my neck.Dr. Heatherington has always been prompt, courteous, professional and most of all 'truly concerned' with my well being. I consider Dr. Heatherington one of the best Doctors that has ever treated me and I have been treated by far more than a few. My most sincere gratitude goes out to Dr. Hugh!!
