I was very impressed with him and would refer anybody to him12/30/2025 | BayCare Verified PatientAll good experiences12/19/2025 | BayCare Verified PatientDr Hegde is great11/26/2025 | BayCare Verified PatientDr. Hedge was wonderful. He did not rush me, had my file from the ER, pictures / x-rays up on a screen on the wall, and talked to me explaining everything. After leaving Dr. Hegdes office, I felt like a huge weight had been lifted from my shoulders. Since I have no memory from the TGA, my brain was not right like everyone said it would be after 24 hours in the ER, I kept having headaches and no one had explained how this happened, I was very concerned and lost. Dr. Hedge seemed to understand this and completely answered all my questions and concerns.11/19/2025 | BayCare Verified PatientGood
