Not sure what to say?

Another year gone by and a piece of my heart still trying to heal. There is nothing I can say that everyone on this page hasn't said already. When I first came to you as a patient, I was barely 18 and I am now 56. I have NEVER found a doctor who could replace you. When doing research for surgeons I always compare them to you. I have turned down a few because no one compares to not only your work but the kind friend that you were. People don't understand how someone can love their doctor as...

You're always in our thoughts and hearts Stan

Dear Dr. Hegg, Another year has passed and I know I am not the only patient who continues to miss your wise influence and the medical care that went well beyond that Hippocratic Oath that you lived by with such honesty and honor. My thoughts and prayers are always with your loving family and dear friends and colleagues who knew you and loved you best beyond your office. I want them to know they are thought of and cared for in my prayers today. This year I am finding myself just as sad and...

Gone too soon but will never be forgotten. A truer statement was never made especially when it comes to Dr.Hegg!

Another year to say how much I miss you. You were not only my doctor since I was 18 (now 55) but my friend. I trusted you with all my being. When I was scared you comforted me. You would leave in the middle of the night and meet my husband and I at your clinic when I needed you. When I got so sick, you were there till the end. For that you are not only a Doctor but a fabulous human being with the kindest heart. I miss our talks about your family and how you loved your outdoor adventures. You...

Dear Stephanie, I want to express my heartfelt gratitude for your touching tribute to Dr. Hegg and for all of your past posts as well. Your words beautifully encapsulated his essence, and they deeply resonated with everyone in our family. Knowing that he continues to be greatly loved and fondly remembered brings us immense comfort. It warms my heart to know that he made a significant impact on your life, just as he did on mine. With warm regards, Laurie

Dr. Hegg was the epitome of a gentleman and a scholar. Add to that, he was an artist, and a true humanitarian. He was generous with his time with his patients, a priceless commodity in our world. Dr. Hegg was an all around sportsman, and had a healthy dose of good looks and the modesty to accompany them. He was a true GEM of a human being. Obviously, after all these years, I still hold him in highest esteem and truly miss his counsel and skills as my Dr. I'm sad that the world is missing out...

I was blessed to be a patient of Dr. Hegg´s and I say blessed because every time I look at my body I fall in love all over again! I am the benefactor of his skills as a surgeon and his generosity of giving his time to come to my home to check on me...I believe no other surgeon would have been so thoughtful and caring! For me he is truly missed but will never ever be forgotten.

I think of Dr Hegg every time I look in the mirror. I would love to get rid of these wrinkles but he´s not here. He did my breast reduction and did a wonderful job.. He was so handsome, he looked like Harrison Ford and SuperMan balled up together. The nicest man you could ever know. Very professional. God Bless his family who miss him everyday. Just know he´s just a thought away.
