I am not one to write reviews but I must spread the word about Dr. Heller’s exceptional skills. He saved my life. Period. I had a very complex valve issue that others told me would only be resolved through surgery. Dr. Heller was able to resolve my condition non-invasively. This guy is miracle worker! And he’s a really caring guy too! On behalf of my family, I want to thank Dr. Heller from the bottom of my (now functioning) heart!

I am a physician for 37 years . I recently relocated to Florida and I went for a calcium score which was high. I was referred to Dr heller for evaluation. He saw me for 5 minutes and only listened to my heart for 10 seconds. He decided I needed a stress test and echo of my heart and carotids. I had to pay a $60 copay for his visit after I asked the front for professional courtesy. I then returned a few days later for stress test and was charged another $60. Then the next day they made me return for echo and took another $60. If the doctor can’t do both tests on the same day then why should I have to pay again but the office staff ignored me. Then I was given an appointment to go over results. When I came to the office the front girl asked me for $60 again. At that point I refused and told them it was a disgrace that the doctor couldn’t extend professional courtesy. I left office without seeing doctor and 10 minutes later I was called by office manager who apologized to me and stated I should have been given courtesy and doctor would call me at the end of the day. Never received any phone call. When I called again to have my test mailed to me the office manager said she would send out results immediately. I have called 3x and each time they lie to me and say it’s in the mail. He basically abandoned a patient who is at very high risk for a heart attack. In 37 years no other doctor that I have seen treated me like this loser. He is the worst doctor on the planet and you should run the other way as fast as possible. I will be reporting him to the head of cardiology at Delray med center and I am sending a formal complaint to the health department. If he treats other doctors like this imagine how he will treat you!

I recently chose Dr. Heller as my new cardiologist. I have been extremely impressed with his knowledge, professionalism, amazing credentials, warmth and the fact that he is such a good listener. I never feel rushed with him and I really enjoy his personality and sense of humor. I worked as a social work director in a hospital up north for 25 years and I know a good doctor when I see one! I hit the jackpot with Dr. Heller!

Dr. Heller's abilities as an intervention specialist and wonderful cardiologist is matched only by his kindness and calm demeanor. He is abreast of the latest developments in the field of cardiology and Dr. Heller's skills literally saved my husband's life. Although he is not an alarmist, Dr. Heller identified a problem that needed immediate action and performed the cutting edge procedure. In addition, he provided me with his cell number and was accessible any time; he also called me several times to keep me updated, something very few (if any) other doctors would take time to do. Dr. Heller was recommended by our previous cardiologists who were affiliated with St. Francis Heart Hospital in Long Island, NY.

Dr. Heller saved my wife’s life. His hands are golden along with his knowledge and professionalism. If there was a higher rating than a 5 he is well deserving of it. His bedside manners is second to none. He treats you as though you were a family member. Can’t say enough about him
God bless him and his staff. A true and dedicated professional to his trade.
