Hi there!!!
Let me commence by saying that I live in New Jersey and Dr. Hefter's practice is in New York. In order to arrive for a 10:30 AM appointment, I must leave my house at five in the morning, thereby avoiding the morning rush hour. During peak traffic, the drive would take four hours . I believe this is a telling indication of how valuable, in my humble ( yet experienced) opinion, Dr. Hefter is, in so many ways.
I did visit a dermatologist in New Jersey but the diagnosis and guidelines given to me really left me confused, bewildered and with no clear direction or guidelines whatsoever. I felt worse leaving the office visit.
Without a true answer or protocol on how to move forward with my dermatological dilemma, I knew I had to go to Dr. Hefter. I needed clarity, information, peace of mind and tools for improvement .I'm just thrilled that I'm able to do so,and that I know about such a fantastic doctor.
My father was treated by Dr. Hefter for many, many years. He tended to the myriad serious needs of my beloved father. My Dad also spoke with such deep affection for Dr Hefter. For years. That is how I know of him, although residing in New Jersey. And Dr. Hefter gave my father excellent recommendations for other specialists that Dad needed as he aged.
I don't write reviews online. But this is important. When you need a doctor, a good doctor, you are more than willing travel for one. Referrals and online reviews are crucial for informed decision making. Dr. Hefter is the consummate professional. He is meticulous and thorough. The good Dr. is completely present and fully focused on you at that moment. He is truly a gifted and brilliant physician. I trust his observations implicitly and completely. Not only is he an excellent dermatologist, he is a wonderful, kind human being. He's interested in you; he asks you questions and makes you comfortable, alleviating your concerns. He just neutralizes all my worrying and fretting with his kind, composed, compassionate demeanor. I never feel rushed. I bring my list of questions and he answers every question thoughtfully and completely. I am grateful to know I have a doctor like Dr. Hefter on my wellness team.
When one has health concerns what is more paramount than the trust you have in your doctors' experienced assessment, diagnosis treatment and manner.
Truth, knowledge, and honesty are powerful. We are lucky if we can find this rare mix today in medicine. Who wouldn't travel the distance for a trusted physician.
All the best to whoever reads this. I hope it helps. read more
