Love Dr Hei!
Dr. Hei is the absolute best! I have been a patient of his for [...] years and he just gets better and better. Need more medical staff to be as understanding and compassionate as Dr. Hei. He doesn't speak to me as a patient, but more as a friend and explains everything to me so I can completely understand what we're doing with my healthcare. I'm extremely grateful that began seeing him all those years ago, and will continue to do so as long as I'm able to. Thanks for having such a wonderful person for my medical needs.

Dr Hei is exceptional doctor and an amazing human being!!!Thank you, UW for recruiting top talent!!
All of my past visits with Dr. Hei and his assistants, as well as the current, have been excellent!
I have been a patient of Dr. Hei for [...] years. The only "suggestion" I will state, is, that he will try to listen to his patients more, and talk less. I feel as though I have heard his "opinions" way too much. I do deeply appreciate him as my PCP, but I don't get the time or opportunity to express my thoughts.
Dr. Hei has always shown great care and support for my health as he did for my father.
