Heather Saffel, MD - Beacon Bone & Joint Specialists South Bend

"She likes to do light touches and then give exercises. She doesn't do anything! She likes to over prescribe Tylenol and call it a day. She can't answer simple questions. Stick to someone or somewhere else. I will never go back to Beacon Bone and Joint!"

"Dr Saffel was the only doctor who explained the problem in my arm and treated it appropriately. Took some time and exercise but now it’s completely healed."

"I was having issues with my rotator cuff for about a year. I went to see Dr. Saffel and with a few well placed injections my shoulder has recuperated very well. Her staff were so kind and helpful. I would highly recommend her and the staff for joint health. Erich Crump"

"Went to Dr saffel and although I already have had and been diagnosed and had surgery on my ankle for bone on bone she diagnosed me with arthritis and wants me to do physical therapy and also exercises at home I've been doing the exercises at home but it's making the pain worse. I can't work or even sleep because of pain I'm going to see another Dr. And am giving her a 2 star because she was overall nice also she seemed more concerned about my blood pressure than the actual problem I was seeing her for, yes I know my blood pressure needs to be worked on but if I'm sitting on the side of the road because I can't use my legs my blood pressure is the least of my worries and that's almost where I'm at with a negative 200 dollar bank account because I can't work from the pain in my legs I guess she dosnt understand some people don't have the benefit of missing work for months also the review will be a one star if the Dr I'm seeing makes a different diagnoses if so maybe she can go become a waitress since I'm not the only one this has happened to when you look at the other reviews"

"Dr. Saffel did nothing to help my husband. He had bone on bone in both knees...... She recommended therapy when our family Dr. had already said that it would only aggravate it more. Never said anything about knee replacement. Kept him coming back for more office visits. $150.00s later in co-pays not to mention the price of the visits. She only gave him 1/3 of a cortisone shot in one knee. Big help there........ So today we went and seen another Dr. and he's going to get knee replacements. I just wonder how long she would of kept us coming back for nothing............!!!!!!"
