I had knee surgery to repair my meniscous and pull my joint capsule medially about 3 years ago. I gave it a good year to heal, did lots of physio etc., but it hurt every day. I called the office as something wasn't right but they told me I needed another mri, another referral from my doctor which took another year and 1/2. Now I found out my meniscous is still torn and I have a major cyst which will require surgery. I am wondering why they couldn't have seen me earlier and prevented all this pain, and why it wasn't fixed in the first place. I heard he was an excellent surgeon before, I am concerned this is the result of his coma which he had come out of recently before my surgery.

Dr. Heard is an amazing surgeon who really outshines in his practice. He performed surgery on my knee, and I cannot thank him enough for doing such a good job and helping me through the healing process. He spent about half an hour or more discussing with me on what I could do to fix my knee around a month before my surgery. He is truly a good and kind surgeon and I recommend him to everyone.

I am walking 1.5 weeks after surgery and my knee cap was split in two, 2 weeks.
I have an appt to get my staples out next week then we see what happens with physio!
I’ve texted him a few times with concerns as it was my first post op ever and he responded right away 🙂 I recommend this man to anyone!

I had my ACL reconstructed and meniscus repaired in 2008 at Banff Mineral Springs hospital by Dr. Mark Heard. That was 9 years ago! I have never looked back. I have been pain free and not a moments worry. I can’t say enough wonderful things about Dr Heard and the Mineral Springs hospital. Thank you for the quality of life you have restored by giving me a stable knee. I continue to exercise regularly and I am grateful to be able to go skiing tomorrow. (Yes I continue to use my knee brace)

Dr. Heard did an ACL and meniscus repair on my child. He is the best surgeon ever. He did a complete exam on my child that had not happened with her previous physician. He communicated very well on his plan to us and asked about our opinion. He is so confident, knows what he is doing, excellent knowledge. I found Dr. Heard a sincere, expert, down to earth physician, and with excellent bed side manners. We were given a complete info package to understand the surgery and hospital stay well. My child is recovering well. He saved my child’s knee, and all I have to say is a BIG THANK YOU! He is an excellent physician and human being. The hospital stay was very well organized.
