Trust the personalized care of Dr. Joel Heiser and Dr. Andrew Cooperman

When you’re in pain, nothing seems right. You’re missing out on your favorite activities. Jogging, hiking, maybe bike riding. Or you may be missing work and unable to earn a living or support yourself or your family. Dr. Heiser’s and Dr. Cooperman’s goal is to get you back to your life as quickly as possible.

No matter what kind of injury you may have, these two highly trained orthopedic surgeons are prepared to treat you with all the skill and experience you deserve. In other words, the highest quality of care possible.

Unlike larger practices, our doctors can spend more time with you to ensure a better outcome. You’ll find the doctors and their staff to be very friendly, caring and compassionate. What’s more, you’ll always be remembered by name by our loyal staff. They have over 50 years of combined experience. In fact, one staff member has been with us for more than 23 years.

Experienced care in a friendly and understanding environment is what many North County patients have come to expect from Dr. Heiser and
Dr. Cooperman. It’s also exactly what we deliver every day to the most important person in our practice — you.

Work injury solutions

Our doctors and their staff understand the financial toll a work-related injury can take on your livelihood and your family. So when you’re hurt on the job, we work hard to get you back to work quickly and safely. If your injury is covered by Workers’ Compensation, our experienced staff communicates directly with your case manager or insurance adjuster in a timely manner to increase efficiency and smooth the process.

Exploring nonsurgical solutions first.

You can rest assured that we will never pressure you into surgery. In fact, we explore all nonsurgical solutions first, because surgery is not always the only option. Approximately 85% of orthopedic problems are treated nonsurgically (medication, cast or splint application, physical therapy, etc.) while 15% require surgical treatment. But if surgery is needed, you can trust you’re in the hands of experienced, qualified orthopedic surgeons.
