I read all the glowing reviews, but my experience was so different. I had list of questions I wanted to ask, but he seemed offended by this. He just stared at me, and said he had a feeling that I didn't believe him. Not so, I just wanted reassurance about some things. I crumpled up my list of questions & cried when I got home. Maybe he just didn't like me for some reason.

Dr. Heller treated my cousin who had a heart attack. He performed a highly complicated and skilled procedure putting in 7 stents over a period of 2 days. He saved his life and he saved him from having open heart surgery. He even came on the weekend to discharge him. Not only is he knowledgeable but he is kind, warm and explains everything so that you can easily understand. You feel like part of his family. Truly a wonderful doctor. Many members of my family are his patients including me. One can honestly feel totally confident.

I have never reviewed anyone online, let alone a doctor but I felt I had to express my gratitude to Dr. Heller. Dr. Heller was a miracle worker with my mother. Without him, I'm convinced she would have no quality of life and would have been confined to a nursing home. Thanks to the stent Dr. Heller inserted, she is no longer short of breath and can walk around the block. In addition to his clinical expertise, he treats every patient as though he or she is a member of his own family. I can't say enough about Dr. Heller!

I can't speak highly enough about. Dr. Heller! He SAVED my husband's life after 2 other local cardiologists gave up on him. Dr. Heller does not shy away from difficult cases. My husband is now back to our normal quality of life, even golfing! I am now such a believer that my daughter and I are now his patients too. God bless Dr. Heller!

Before I moved to Florida my Doctor was Michael Collins from Columbia Presbertian who is also one of Clintons Cardiologist , when I moved down to Boca Raton and ended up one night in the ER from chest pains I found Doctor Heller he advised me to Have a coronary angiogram, of course I called my Doctor in NY, He said "you are so lucky if Eric Heller is there you don't need to come to NY he is one of my Golden Boys...". Dr Heller is easily reachable very responsible and a great follower , during my lifetime I had 11 cornorary angiograms in Europe in Cleveland and in New York the smoothest and the easiest one for me was the last one done by Dr Heller, I give him 5 stars plus ....
