1 review about Dr Santa Heede
We love Dr. Santa!! We saw Dr. Santa Heede at McMaster Children’s Eye Clinic after my 2 year old was hit in the eye. She was so kind, my daughter was instantly comfortable with her. She even let her put the yellow eye drops in! Dr. Heede diagnosed a corneal abrasion, prescribed drops and followed up with us to make sure it was healed. Her Child Life specialist, Brittany, was also amazing – she made the whole visit actually enjoyable for a nervous 2 year old!
