He should be a pathologist. That way he would not have to interact with patients. Rude, lacking empathy..concerned only for himself.
 Shallow knowledge of complex medical cases. Our Health care hit the bottom of the barrel with him!!AVOID AT ALL COSTS..SEE YOUR VET INSTEAD.
Overall Rating: 1.0 2021-10-29 
Dr. Heath will cancel on you because of your insurance, if it doesn't fatten his wallet. He cancelled, the day of my
appointment. What management allows this to happen, where is your work ethics? You'll be less of a person with cheap insurance?
Overall Rating: 1.0 2021-10-29 
Dr. Heath was very insensitive to my health issues. He told me he wouldn't abandon me, then he prescribed a new medication for me. I ended up in the
 E.R. on two different occasions because of the medication he prescribed---and at the end I was abandoned by Dr. Heath. I got a new Doctor now and she
is amazing. Dr. Heath is a horrible doctor, he believes that every patient should suffer.
