Mark HEINER MD
Obstetrics & Gynecology - North Carolina Elkin

Dr. Heiner helped me through a very difficult time. He had delivered my two year old who was premature and took great care. Then I had a tubal pregnancy which devastated my husband and I. We had trouble with our insurance but he didn't care as long as we we're getting the care that we needed. He truly cares about people not the bottom line/dollar. I really would like to thank him and his staff for their care and concern for people. When we do get pregnant without a doubt he will be my doctor.

Could not ask for a better place to go! After getting my tubes tied 8 years ago by another DR I choose to go to Dr Heiner and Melissa for my 4th child. I have a fibroid tumor with this pregnancy and they have made sure to check that everything is going ok with this pregnancy each time I go in. They both truly care about their patients and their staff is great also!

I would definately recommend Dr. Heiner. I had a complicated pregnancy with hyperemesis to begin with and high blood pressure on and off throughout. Dr. Heiner and his staff were always there to go the extra mile to ensure the safe pregnancy and delivery of our precious baby girl and we could never thank them enough for all they have done for us.

I was referred to Dr. Heiner by my primary care physician, and am SO glad she sent me to him! His staff was top notch and always treated me as if I was their top priority. As for Dr. Heiner, he's simply the best! I had a vaginal hysterectomy because my uterus was full of fibroids and I was bleeding nearly 28 days a month which was wreaking havoc on my health. Dr. Heiner was kind, caring, and patient with me when answering my questions and during exams. The surgery went well as did the follow up examinations. I can't say enough good things about Dr. Heiner and his staff or their treatment of me during this difficult time. I am fully recovered now and reclaiming my health! Thank you, Dr. Heiner, for your wonderful care, kind heart, and for putting the welfare of your patients above everything else!

Dr. Heiner was by far the best doctor I have ever had. He delivered my baby 3 months ago and he cared for the both of us. He makes his patients a top priority as well as the baby. When I was delivering, they couldn't get a heartbeat on my baby, and I was very scared that something had happened to my baby, but he kept me calm through the whole thing and delivered my healthy little boy! I am pregnant again, and he is the only person I trust to deliver this one also. I definitely recommend him to any one!

I am a former patient of Dr. Heiner's when he practiced in Utah. He is an amazing doctor. He took the time to care about me as a person. I really was sad to leave the area and lose him as a doctor. I would recommend him as a doctor to any woman looking for a doctor who wants a doctor who really cares about each and every patient.

Dr. Heiner is the best Dr. to ever walk this earth! For those of us who have had the honor of calling him Dr. we have truly been blessed and for those who are now his patients in North Carolina congrats you have the best of the best! His truly caring nature is so comforting when you are looking for a O.B.G.Y.N. and you don't just get the best care, you also find a friend who doesn't ever judge but gives good advice and makes you feel good about your health and your needs. We in Utah are lost with out him and his staff. Dr. Heiner delivered 2 of my children and dealt with all of my female concerns from migraines to P.P.Depression and more .

I was one of Dr. Heiner's patients when he practiced in Logan, Utah. He was an EXCELLENT physician, and was also the most personable doctor I've ever had. His genuine care and concern for his patients truly make him stand out. It has been 14 years (to the day) that he delivered my second child. I moved from Utah to Louisiana, then to Texas, and I still have never found another physician who can come close to providing the quality of care I received from Dr. Heiner. My husband went with me to all of my OB visits, and was in the delivery room with me, and he loved Dr. Heiner as well. I highly recommend Dr. Heiner to anyone seeking OB or gynecological care. In my estimation, Dr. Heiner is the absolute best available. Don't go anywhere else----you and your family deserve no less than the best!

Dr. Heiner is, hands down, the best OBGYN I have ever seen. He is very understanding and truly listens to his patients and their needs. I received a hysterectomy from him while he was in practice in Utah. He has the highest of medical ethics and he is truly missed.

I DEFINITELY RECOMMEND DR HEINER. HE DID A TOTAL VAGINAL HYSTERECTOMY, CYSTOCELE REPAIR, AND RECTOCELE ON ME IN DECEMBER OF 2008. I RECEIVED EXCELENT CARE FROM HIM- HE DID A GREAT JOB, HE SHOWED COMPASSION, HAS A VERY GOOD BEDSIDE MANNER AND IS A GREAT PERSON. HE IS EASY TO TALK TO AND TAKES TIME WITH HIS PATIENTS. HE IS VERY CARING.ELKIN HOSPITAL IS SO BLESSED TO HAVE SUCH A GOOD OB/GYN HERE IN THIS SMALL TOWN. I AM SO GLAD THAT MY MD SENT ME TO DR HEINER. HE ALSO SAW MY MOTHER IN THE OFFICE AND WAS SO GOOD TO HER.

Dr. Heiner is AWESOME!

Dr. Heiner is not only a great doctor, but a great person. I was seing a different doctor when I was pregnant, but had some complications with bleeding, the first doctor I was seeing, told me "If you're going to misscarry, you are, there is nothing I can do", I went to Dr. Heiner the following day and he discovered I had plecenta previa, which was the cause of my bleeding. He delieved my little boy by c-section on July 23, 2008. He took really good care of me during my pregnancy and I would reccomend him to anyone!! His staff is also very friendly!

I was Dr. Heiner's patient in Utah before he moved and I had never received more personal, painstaking care from a physician in all of my labor and delivery experiences. Because my husbands work moved him often I have had a different doctor with each of my children. Doctor Heiner had the best bedside manner and professional manner I needed as went through delivery and recovery, he also had a good tasteful sense of humor that was appreciated. I had two very close pregnancies, and a hard post-pardom recovery. He had finished another surgery during my previous labor and he was dilligent enough to check on me no longer than ten minutes at a time. He held my hand after delivery and told me, "Good job, mom." He was patient, attentive, and kind. My husband said that he saw him reviewing all the information on performing C-sections, again, before going through the procedure for the hundreth time in his professional carrer.
I personally recommend him. He takes his job seriously and professionally, as well as the lives that are in his hands. You cannot find a highly competent, compassionate, dedicated doctor often. Dr. Heiner is one of the best of them. It's been two years Doctor Heiner and we still miss you.

Dr Heiner & Mellissa Tharpe are awesome!! They are both very caring and professional people. I went to Mellissa Tharpe before she joined Dr. Heiner and they make a great team!!
Dr. Heiner really takes the time to listen to you and that is something that is hard to find these days.
Thank you to both of you!!!

Dr. Heiner is a very intelligent and experienced physician who genuinely cares for his patients. I was given his name by a family member after a not so good experience with another Dr's office. His demeanor and knowledge were really appreciated. He made such an impression on my husband and myself that we now make an hour and half drive to see him for our appointments.

I was very pleased with Dr. Heiner. He is very professional, but also caring and considerate of his patient. He took plenty of time to sit and talk with me and explain things in a way that I could understand. I wish there were alot more doctors like him.I would recommend him to anyone.
