Heaton Roy E Ostopth Phys

Dr. Heaton is WONDERFUL!!! He takes time with his patients to diagnose and find the root cause of the problem so he can properly treat them and not just temporarily relieve their symptoms. His osteopathic manipulations are amazing and have helped so much. Dr. Heaton also has great bedside manners so it has always been a pleasant experience. It’s a warm and friendly practice in Northern Va. Highly recommended!!! :)

DO NOT GO TO THIS DO!!! Great conversationalist, but not worth your health. Perhaps the worst experience I have ever had with a doctor. I went in with an upper shoulder/​neck pain and came away with hip pain that I had never experienced before. It is now three years later and I continue to have significant hip pain. This pain came as a direct result of Dr. Heaton’s manipulations.
Let me be clear, I NEVER had ANY kind of hip pain prior to my visit. In other words, not only did he not correct the problem I went in for but I was significantly injured by this Dr. I could tell right away that he had done something to cause LONG-​TERM damage. I told him of my symptoms and the new pain I now felt and his excuse was that it always gets worse before it gets better. I finally refused him to do any further work on me.
I have spent thousands of dollars and have experienced terrible pain for THREE YEARS! It has been a nightmare of an experience. I tried contacting the office shortly after my original appointments and he refused to even talk to me over the phone. They said that if I had any complaint I should sent it to them in a letter. I regret not writing these reviews previously, perhaps I could save others from any sort of similar experience. I thought I would follow his advice and get physical therapy to correct the damage he had done. Well not only is it sad that I would even have to go to PT to correct HIS MALPRACTICE, after three years of effort, with no fix, its finally time to take some action.
