8/19/10 5 5 5 5 What a fabulous doctor! He is extremely meticulous in his work; he is patient and will answer all questions no matter how crazy his schedule. He operated on both of my feet during the same surgery and the results were excellent. Everything was exactly as he explained it would be and his post-op care was second to none.  Respond

11/7/08 5 5 5 5 This man recently performed a total hip replacement on me. He took the time to fully explain everything to me and what to expect prior to the surgery. I've heard a lot of people tell me about the pain they've experienced following this surgery. I can honestly say that I've never experienced any pain since I came out of the recovery room that came close to that I had when I went into the hospital. I found him very good to talk to and would answer any question or concern I had. It's only been four and a half weeks since my surgery, but I feel my recovery is coming along very well. James Paton is very lucky to have such a brilliant surgeon and I would certainly recommend this doctor to anyone needing his services.  Respond

1/9/07 5 5 5 This is the best doctor I have dealth with, other then my family doctor. Dr. Van Heerden cares for his patients the way a doctor should care for them. After dealing with GFW with an ankle fracture for over a month, they finally sent me to a REAL doctor in Gander to fix my ankle. GFW hospital don't have the knowledge to put on casts or to line up a fracture. But Dr. Van Heerden and his staff are wonderful people. The guys in the cast room joke around with you and make your visit a comfortable one. Every trip there was a quick one and not hrs of waiting. Xray dept is even quick with their patients. When I had my cast done, I was in and out in less then an hour. Talk about fast and friendly service. If only GFW hospital could learn something from the Gander Hospital!  Respond
