If you are considering seeing Dr. Heffinton, please be sure he runs tests to confirm his physical exam diagnosis. Diagnosed my husband with a hydrocele from a physical exam without doing any testing to confirm. Because of his misdiagnosis, my husband has lived with an inguinal hernia for several years now. Early this year Dr. Heffington did a cystoscopy and never gave any instructions of things to look for or what to do following the test. Within 3 days he had a severe bladder infection with a fever of 102, which required a trip to a walk-in clinic on a Saturday for medication to treat the infection. We know now an infection is a risk with this kind of procedure, but Dr. Heffington never mentioned anything to us about the risk of an infection. Please don't rely on his opinion only.

I have had several positive UTI screenings the past year and 4 antibiotics I've been on haven't seem to cure them. Fatigue,Burning sensations when urinating and consistency, lower back pain and bladder spasms along with area of kidney/gallbladder pain. I went to the Gynecologist and they referred me to S. Heffington. He by far had the worst bedside manner. I brought my history record of UTIs/urinalysis and CT scans and he insisted there was nothing wrong with me that all those signs I explained didn't point to his field of expertise. I was confused since I've had these issues for quite some time I needed to see a Urologist. I'm trying to figure whats causing them, he just said I had to see a PCP to do more testing on gallbladder. I asked if he could order that test and I was told no it wasn't his field. He wouldn't let me fully explain what I had going on without being rushed. When I mentioned my Copay was $150.00 each visit he stated I had TNcare a couple times. I then said I have Untied Health Care through my husbands business. it was almost like he didn't want to treat me being he thought I had TNcare. That day I followed back up with Gyno with my experience and they are treating me for symptoms until we figure out whats wrong. Sincerely, - also work in the health care field.

Very good Doctor. He fixed my problem the 2nd visit/surgery to remove scar tissue from right ureter. I currently live near Tallahassee, FL. I saw a Urologist here last month and he was horrible. Dr. Heffington is very nice, easy to talk to, and very professional. I really miss him now b/c I'm having the same right flank pain as I was in 2011, so I'm sure I need to have scar tissue removed again. I hate that scar tissue continues to grow. However, Dr. Heffington helped me get by for a couple of years. Thank you Dr.

He was being a smart-but when i voiced my concerns. Never even answered my questions effectively. He just types on his laptop and never looks me in the eye or gives me any attentionb. His bedside manner is horrible. Considering a new urologist.

Dr. Heffington and staff are very knowledgeable and helpful. He is very considerate and tries to solve any problems with either exercise, or medication before the final step of surgery. I recommend him to any one

I would not recommend seeing Dr. Heffington. In my opinion, his lack of medical knowledge resulted in the loss of one of my kidneys. Whenever I mention his name to others in the medical profession they usually just roll their eyes.

The platforms we selected are Google, WebMD, Yelp, HealthGrades, Facebook, RateMDs, and Vitals.
