The experience from the front desk was excellent. Check in was quick no long waiting. Everyone that I encountered was friendly, nice and was very professional. Dr. Heaton show that he was concerned about what was concerning me. He has a way of making you smile not matter the pain you are in. He is a great doctor. I highly recommend Dr. Heaton and the Hughston Clinic.

Awesome doctor. He was very patient and understanding. He explained everything well, and he has great bedside manners, which is a plus for patients. I will certainly continue to see him with all my orthopedic situations. I had surgery March 2024, and everything he told me about my recovery was absolutely on point. I must say I was very well pleased with all the services I received. Even all of the office staff are nice and pleasant, and very helpful.

Dr. Heaton is a gem of a doctor; and human being. His bedside manner is laid back while still being professional. He is extremely knowledgeable, in tune with the latest treatments and truly cares about improving his patient's quality of life. I had several shoulder problems in my dominant arm: a very large calcification, massive rotator cuff tear and SLAP II tear. He performed my arthroscopic surgery beautifully and tailored some details to accommodate my specific medical needs. I am nearly 6 weeks post surgery, in physical therapy and quite pleased with my progress. He is a great listener and takes his patient's concerns seriously (even the silly ones.) If hi you've been looking for a skilled, easy to converse with doctor, then I highly recommend him. I can't say enough about him and his Medical Asst Shannon. She's a great encourager and excels in putting you at ease. Great team!

Dr Heaton is a very knowledgeable and caring surgeon. He explained the partial knee replacement surgery very well as I’ve heard a lot of horror stories!! He answered all my questions and concerns and I felt I was in good hands.. He did a great job and my scar is straight, not jaggedy like some people I’ve seen!! I’m walking better than I have in years! My only advice is to follow through with physical therapy so you can get as much range of motion back. No pain, no gain… it’s worth it! I’m looking forward to riding my bicycle again around Jekyll Island this Spring!
