1 Patient Review for
Dr. Heid
"I couldn't walk without almost passing out because of my mitral valve and the strep infection that settled in my brain. Thanks to Dr. Heid, I didn't lose hope.
My passion in life is my special needs students. What scared me more than anything is that being taken away from me. But now, after my heart valve surgery, I'm able to do my job and do it well. I'm beyond grateful for that.
The staff at UT Southwestern treated me more like a friend than a patient."
