My Kids have been with him for 10 years. They love when they get seen by him because he takes the time to listen and he explains everything and puts our minds at ease.

Doctor Heitanen has been an amazing doctor for my son since we moved to the area 4 years ago and to my daughter since she was born almost 2 years ago! I would definitely recommend him to anyone new to the area or with a new baby!

Dr. Hietanen is such a wonderful Pediatrician! After being recommended to me by dozens of mothers on Facebook I made the switch over to TLc Pediatrics for my at the time 3 month old daughter . My daughter is now almost 3 and Dr. Hietanen has provided excellent care for her . He takes his time at every visit and truly listens to all of your concerns. He has also taken extra care with all my my daughters food allergies. He is always available if you have any questions or concerns and is all around an amazing doctor!

Dr. Haitenan is great with my daughter. He's been treating her for 7 years now. She likes him, as do we. He has a great rapport with the kids and is very patient with parents like me who have a lot of questions. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a pediatrician.

If you are looking for a doctor who is outstanding in every aspect, Dr. Hietanen is your guy. There is never a long wait to see him, yet he always gives you his undivided attention and expertise. He is extremely knowledgeable and professional, yet completely warm and approachable. His bedside manner is impeccable. He will know your child's name and what their interests are which I feel puts children at ease. He also does a lot for his community which says a lot for the type of person he is all around. I trust him completely with my child and have recommended him to several of my friends.

I have brought both my children to Dr. Hietanen and have not had one complaint in the five years I have been there. My older son has asthma and allergies and he has stayed on top of this while putting a anxiety ridden mom at ease.
