Thomas G. Heffron's Online Review Report Card

Dr. Heffron saved my life 2 years ago with a liver transplant and continues to save it through multiple challenges. As a RN since 1972 and counting, he is the most positive, upbeat physician I have ever known. I am eternally thankful and grateful for Dr. Heffron, PSL's liver clinic staff and PSL's transplant team.

He was my surgeon in another hospital, and when my wound or incision site re-opened and was infected, he did absolutely nothing to help. I ended up needing to go through wound care at another hospital in order to have proper treatment.

Dr. Heffron has our eternal thanks 🙏! With such a taxing job and horrible hours, he always has a smile and a heart full of hope. Bless you!

Dr Heffron completed my liver transplant for Alpha 1 deficiency in 2002 at Emory University Hospital. The procedure was difficult with a lengthy recovery. I have never experienced any signs of rejection and for over 20 years I have lived a relatively normal life without any serious medical problems. I am now 76 years old. Charles Isele. b Benton Ky.

Dr. Hefron is an amazing physician. He goes above and beyond to make his patients feel heard. I wish more doctors were like him, he is knowledgeable and courteous. I recommend him if you need surgery.

Dr. Heffron is absolutely great.

Hello, Dr. Heffron gets all 5 stars available. I was diagnosed with a cancerous liver tumor in June of 2017. Dr. Heffron removed the tumor in mid August and sent me back on the road of life. His staff is wonderful, his bedside manner is fun, and his surgical skills are unquestionably top notch. In fact, every person I met on my liver surgery adventure at Presbyterian St. Luke's in Denver was very friendly, helpful and competent. Thanks Doc! Pat

I was diagnosed with hepatocellular carcinoma in July of 2017. Within a week or two, I had found and made contact with Dr. Heffron. He was very informative and discussed treatment and surgery. By mid- August, Dr Heffron had performed the resection of the tumor and I recovered very quickly. I owe this to Dr. Heffron's skill as a surgeon. Besides his surgical skills, Dr. H. provided the reassurance that helped me through this difficult time and was always willing to give me as much time as I need

Absolutely Gifted hands! Grateful for his personable manner and I felt confident from first consult!! I came with cancer and eventually went home without the cancer!!!

I'm writing my review of Dr. Heffron under a family members Google account, as I, for some reason, cannot access my own Google account. My name is Michelle Johnson. I had started suffering with major abdominal pain late last year and it wasn't until I had my first MRI, that the doctors noticed an anomaly attached to my liver. As it turns out it was an adenoma..."about" the size of a softball and definitely large enough to cause me constant discomfort. After months of tedious back and forth with various gastroenterologists in Colorado Springs, I was finally given the green light to go to Dr. Heffron in early April. When I met Dr. Heffron, I was instantly put at ease by his calm and endearing nature. My hepatobiliary surgery was scheduled for April 16th. On April 13th I received a call from his office informing me that due to a liver transplant, my surgery had been bumped to the following week...April 23rd. I completely understood. In the week I had to wait for my surgery I read quite a bit about Dr. Heffron online and his accomplishments in the field of medicine are exceedingly impressive. I was calmed and reassured by everything I read about him. The morning of the surgery came and I was ok...I was a little nervous, but that had nothing to do with Dr. Heffron, it had to do with the fact that I had never had such a major surgery before. I had the adenoma, my left hepatic lobe and my gallbladder removed...plus, a tiny portion of my right hepatic lobe was also removed. It's now been about one month since my surgery and I am still in pain and in the process of healing, but I'm getting better everyday. I want to give a huge shout out to the entire Porter Adventist hospital staff...from the sweet pastor that said he would pray for me to the incredibly skilled CNA's and RN's...my experience there was not nearly as scary as I thought it would be thanks to their care. I also want to thank Kelly, Dr. Heffron's assistant/receptionist, she's very skilled at what she does and she has been very kind and helpful to me the numerous times I called with questions before and after my surgery. Lastly, I cannot say enough nice things about Dr. Heffron, he is by far the kindest, funniest, most down to earth doctor that I've ever had the pleasure of knowing. He deserves the highest of praise for what he does and in my opinion, he's the epitome of a outstanding doctor. Thanks again for everything, Dr. Heffron....and don't forget about the Junior Mint. :) Michelle Johnson and family
