Dr Carolyn Marie Hettrich, MD, MPH

Dr. Hettrich provided me with exceptional care, medical advice and left should replacement. Dr. Hettrich was very professional, caring and explained my options, which in the end had to be surgery. The outcome was so positive and I have no more pain. I was amazed with the whole process.

Had horrific pain in my shoulder for years, been to several surgeons and no one could figure it out. Dr. Hettrich figured out the pain was from a pinched nerve in my neck, and now, after getting injections in my neck from Dr. Huang I am 100% better and pain free for the first time in years! I can sleep again - she gave me my life back.

I had a shoulder replacement after falling and breaking my shoulder, and couldn’t be happier with how I was treated, and my results. I had a ton of pain before the surgery, but almost none afterwards. I didn’t even have to take my pain medication. I am back to golfing, and playing catch with my grandkids!

I saw Dr. Hettrich in early 2021 for a tough shoulder problem that other doctors in the area couldn't figure out. She was amazing and diagnosed and fixed the problem!

Had no knowledge of how on scapula reattach muscle surgery. Don' waste your time. She's rude, here office staff was very nice and helpful.

My shoulder replacement went great, loved Dr. Hettrich and all of the staff. Everyone was very professional and my shoulder feels good for the first time in 10 years

I've had shoulder pain for years, and after seeing Dr. Hettrich my shoulder feels like I'm 20 again.

I've been to several orthopedic surgeons for my shoulder problems, and it wasn't until I saw Dr. Hettrich that I felt I was finally being listened to. Most surgeons either ignored me or said that I didn't have anything wrong with my shoulder, but Dr. Hettrich spent time with me and listened to my problems. She was able to find a problem that other Dr's had missed. I'm truly grateful for having found her!

I saw Dr. Hettrich for a shoulder replacement. She was attentive and caring towards my concerns and did an excellent job on the surgery. I couldn't recommend her more.

She has done 2 surgeries on me and did a great job. Sorry that she isn't in Iowa city, Iowa

Here I am a year later no better, actually in worse shape then I was. I had a partial replacement put in a year ago, i have very little ROM and still in chronic pain. I have went to two other surgeons in the past month who told me the replacement was put in wrong! I am having my fourth shoulder surgery, ( had two repairs before seeing Hettrich), to fix the error she caused. Do not go to her.

Uk healthcare is top notch, unfortunately Dr. Hettrich falls way short. Post Op I'm more limited in range of motion and will now have chronic pain. She doesn't like questions and dismisses concerns. Do yourself a favor and request another Doctor.

The staff were very friendly . Dr Hettrick was friendly I just felt like she didn't believe I was still having issues with my shoulder. Still to this day I am unclear as to what was done in my surgery. I

Very thorough - totally fixed my shoulder!

She was great! Very professional, and immediately figured out what was bothering me.
