He is honest, forthright, and focused on doing the right thing for his patients, up to and including decisions to forego high risk options in favor of other options that are more advantageous to his patient, though it would mean his services would no longer br required. He totally deserves the stellar reputation he enjoys. I 100% recommend him to anyone needing oral surgery."

Dr Heitzman administered a couple of injections that eased the pain for several hours, which was perfect since his staff rearranged the schedule so I could have my procedure the second day. There are so many practitioners that could take lessons from him and his staff on how to interact with patients who are in pain or simply don’t feel well. Let’s face it as patients we are not necessarily the behaving our best in those moments. Kindness is key! I thank you very much for the excellent communication and care.Deirdre Collier"

"I had 2 extractions done back in 2011. It was a great experience. Last in April of this year I had to get 2 more extractions and I wanted Dr Heitzman to do my extractions. He is the best in Bay County. His staff is very pleasant and his assistants made me feel both safe and comfortable during the process. Upon waking up although a bit out of it I felt no pain. I did not have to take any of the pain medication prescribed. I think that is because Dr Heitzman is gental and careful regarding how he extracts the tooth.If you need extractions I highly recommend trusting Dr. Heitzman. He is the best in Bay County and comes highly recommended."
"Extra time was spent with me explaining my options for treatment.. it was greatly appreciated and help to clarify the options available. Very patient and kind!!"
"Dr. Heitzmann and his team were amazing in both my care and their bedside manner, and also provided me with multiple options. I went for an emergency issue and they were able to give me confidence in making a fully informed decision about what could be done immediately to fix my problem and what other things could be done electively to save me from the impact and cost of additional procedures later. Their pricing was more than fair and I cannot say enough about their kindness."
"I couldn’t have asked for a better experience! I was very nervous about having my wisdom teeth removed at 34 years old. Most people said the process was very painful and the recovery time was long, but the exact opposite was my experience with bay oral and facial surgery. All the nurses and dentist were kind, funny and put me at ease. The pain from the surgery was very minimal and the recovery time was only a few days. If you have to get this surgery done, this is the place to do it! I couldn’t be happier with my experience."
"I would recommend this office to anyone. They worked me in and was able to get a bad toothache resolved quickly. I was leaving for a cruise and would've been miserable in pain. Because of their great patient care and compassion I was able to enjoy my anniversary trip pain free. I was surprised how affordable it was, even without insurance."
"What a great experience! Facing oral surgery is always a little scary, but Dr. Heitzman really put me at ease. He took his time, showed me on the X-ray what needed to be done and why, and he thoroughly explained all potential outcomes. It was really wonderful, and his manner is very comforting in itself. On the morning of my procedure, the doctor and staff were ready to go, and again Dr. Heitzman and his very courteous staff explained every step - as they efficiently performed them - until I went under. I had no problems whatsoever, and the cost was much less than we feared, LoL. Don’t hesitate to schedule an appointment here. You will not regret it."
"Very good experience. I had to have a wisdom tooth extracted at age 56 and was really nervous. They were on time, sedation was easy and it was all over in 30 minutes. Highly recommend this office and staff are very good at what they do."
"Very very pleased! From the front staff to the assistants to the Dr., friendly and supportive. Described all thoroughly and my procedure went perfectly! Would not hesitate to go here."
"From entering to existing it was great. The staff is nice and the Dentist is truly caring and very personable. The only down side is they don’t take my insurance BCBS. I would still go to them and pay out of pocket again because I love the place so much."
"Dr. Heitzmann and his staff are absolutely amazing. This is the second time I've used his office since 2013, and I will continue if needed.. I would recommend this place to anyone."

He is a great communicator and keeps current with the latest technology and is enthusiastic about what he does. His office and surgery support staff are outstanding."
"Needed to have an erupted tooth extracted surgically 12/19/24. Dr Heitzmann knows exactly what he’s doing. I’m in ZERO pain now! Haven’t even needed the pain medicine they prescribed. Could not be more happy I chose Bay Oral and Facial Surgery. If I could give y’all 6/5 stars I would!Returned on 2/28/25 for yet another extraction performed flawlessly."
"I had to unfortunately go and get my wisdom teeth out. Everyone in the office was so nice setting up the appointments and making you feel comfortable in a very uncomfortable situation. I am on the second day of my recovery and I truly feel better than anticipated. I would highly recommend going here for all oral surgery needs."
"Always very pleased with the professionalism and care my family and I have received from Dr. Heitzmann and his staff. He is the best and I strongly recommend him for all your oral surgery needs!"
"I found Dr. Scott Heitzmann to be extremely thorough and professional. I scheduled an appointment for the end of February. Because of my concern, I asked to be placed on a waiting list.They called me 3 days later and let me know that they had an opening the next day for my consultation. Dr. Heitzmann spent a lot of time with me explaining things and answering all my questions. Never, did I feel rushed. After my consultation yesterday, I was told they had an opening this morning, so I took it and had my procedure done. It went better than expected.His staff (from the front desk, billing/collecting money, and those that worked in the surgery room) are absolutely amazing and very helpful as well. Again, I called to ask a couple of questions, which they gladly answered. They also called me this afternoon to check on me to see how I was doing.I highly recommend Bay Oral and Facial Surgery; you won't be sorry."
"9 teeth pulled for complete upper dentureMy response Wow absolutely fantastic work!! Great office personnel and assistancesPrice was explained and total was almost 30% less than estimateSo very pleasedThank you for all you did ❤️"
"Very polite Dr and staff and the facility is super nice. I would love to comment on the procedure but when they started the antithesis, I don’t remember a thing till they were wheeling me to the waiting room and my wife. I must say the procedure was quick and painless as I’ve only had 2 Tylenol since. I would recommend them to friends and family for their oral surgery needs. Thank you."
"Everyone at Bay Oral & Facial Surgery was great! They were friendly. They put me at ease knowing my anxiety level was sky high. Dr Heitzmann was professional but not stiff and uptight. He joked with me and told me exactly what he was going yo do during my surgery. I received a call that night from the office checking on me before they left for the day. I would recommend Bay Oral & Facial Surgery to anyone needing an oral surgeon!"
"My experience was amazing. The staff was amazing and helpful in all ways. My experience with the surgeon was above all expectation and if ever needed he would be my choice. Thanks for the amazing experience. Lois"
"I had a badly compromised wisdom tooth that couldn't be capped, and needed to be extracted. I was forewarned the roots may be fused to the bone, equating to added risk of extracting broken roots...I was expecting the worst. But I was pleasantly surprised with my recovery, not only with a clean extraction, but I experienced no pain beyond mild soreness, not even requiring any Ibuprofone in the days after. The entire staff is wonderful, and both my wife & I have had great experiences here. Highly recommend."
"Dr. Heitzman is the best at his job in our area. Everyone I spoke to about my procedure recommended him for the surgery. Friendly and Professional Support Staff as well."
"Great job! Had teeth extracted and was dreading it. T staff was reassuring, very competent and efficient. I didn’t need any pain pills after. I have no swelling . Thank you for a job well done."
"My experience was exceptional, from the assistants entering the office to the work completed by the experienced and perfectly performed dental work done by Dr Heitzmann. I would not go to any other dentist in his profession, simply the best and less than 24 hours since my procedure, I feel great! Thanks Dr Heitzmann, George R Barnett"
"Best oral surgery experience ever! I highly recommend Dr. Heitzmann and his awesome staff. No anxiety, no pain and fast and efficient. All this coming from a bona fide dental wimp!!"
"Dr. Heitzmann is very professional. I felt he did a great job of explaining the procedures being performed. I also like the fact that he is conservative in his recommendations and does not recommend procedures that are costly and of little value."
"I had a great experience at Bay Oral! I felt confident after the consultation and going into the procedure. Everything was explained well to me beforehand and went even better than expected!"
"I can honestly say I dispise dentist, but not this one. My molar broke off at the gum line Dr Heitzmann removed what was left, I came home and slept 3 hours. Highly recommend"
"This was my second tooth removal from Bay Oral and Facial Surgery! Dr Heitzmann is excellent in all phases of the procedure as is his staff! I highly recommend!"

"I arrived for my scheduled molar extraction 15 minutes early and 30 minutes later I was in the waiting room with my molar removed. Dr. Heitzman and his staff were friendly and professional and after receiving my IV sedative I woke in the waiting area with no pain and my molar removed. I readily recommend Bay Oral & Facial Surgery for tooth extractions.J.A. age 77"
"No one likes going to the dentist, but they really don’t like knowing they have been sent to a surgeon for a tooth extraction. I have had a horrible experience before and was terrified of having anything done with my teeth. Dr. Heitzmann and staff made me feel at ease with my first appointment. He is very knowledgeable and makes you relax just knowing you are in good hands. If you want a great surgeon, I would recommend him over and over again."
"The staff there is very kind and very accommodating. The dentist took time to ask and answer any questions I had before starting the procedure. They all were very professional, and I would recommend them to anybody."
"I just got done the consultation for getting my wisdom teeth removed and the staff there and Dr. Heitzmann went to great lengths to fit me into the schedule last minute, explain to me everything involved in the procedure, and were very clear with estimates, pricing, and different options. Although anxieties are high, I feel confident with the team handling my care. Thank you all for accommodating me on short notice and I'll update again after the procedure.UPDATE: almost a year later and I've gotten all 4 wisdom teeth and another problem tooth removed through Dr. Heitzmann and his team. I couldn't have had a better experience. Everyone was super friendly and the operation and recovery were smooth as could be. If you need oral surgery, I definitely recommend this team and doctor. Thank you all so much!"
"I’ve always been so nervous to go to any sort of dentist office, but bay oral made me feel so welcome! The staff and doctor were absolutely amazing! They helped me understand what they would do during my procedure and answered any question I had! I absolutely recommend to anyone and everyone!"
"Went in for a consultation to get my wisdom teeth removed. Staff was very friendly and Dr. Heitzmann was very nice and even made a few funny jokes that helped me relax. Dr. Heitzmann and staff were very patient and helpful with the concerns and questions I had."
"Something you might not hear everyday but I had a great experience getting my wisdom teeth taken out and the staff is very nice and remembered my name after one visit! They also went through what the process was, warned me of any potential complications, and did a followup check up and call in post op to make sure I was good. I have a lot of anxiety regarding operations and doctors visits small or otherwise and I felt like I was in the clouds coming here!"
"Everyone was very nice and helpful. My root canal took a bit longer than I expected . But all went smoothly. The Doc likes to sing as he’s working. Which eases things. Thanks everyone"
"i was terrified to have this done and put it off for a while. but i’m on my second day and im completely fine. these surgeons are absolutely amazing, i really had nothing to worry about. they’re genuine and walk you through before you go under so you know exactly what’s happing and when they’re going to do. 30 minutes later with 4 impacted teeth and one tooth that was completely sitting sideways the surgery went smoothly. i recommend them 100%"
"I had a cracked tooth pulled last Friday. It was definitely a good experience. Their staff was friendly and helpful. And Dr Heitzmann was very friendly and nice. One minute they were putting an IV in my arm and the next minute they were telling me goodbye. It was nice and easy. I would highly recommend this Dentist if you need to have a tooth pulled."
"I had one tooth removed and Dr. Heitzmann and the staff were great. They moved very fast, were very thorough, and make you feel very relaxed. Will definitely be back for any other extractions."
"Dr. Scott was professionals and respectful. He answered all questions and concerns prior to surgery and was orderly and comforting the day of surgery. I arrived at approximately 8:40, was greeted friendly by nursing staff and receptionist. I was brought back within 5 minutes. Again asked if I had any questions. IV in within 2 minutes, first try, provided me reassurance and I was being wheeled out in a chair about 15 minutes later. I felt nothing at all, not even a poke of the needle. Wife drove me home and really the next thing I remember is it was 5 hours later on the couch.all I needed was a little ibuprofen..I followed his written instructions tons and they even called me that same day. I have no residual numbness or loss of sensation d/T proximity of extracted tooth to facial nerve. It’s two days later and business as usual. Will definitely be using him for any and all complicated dental procedures."
"Dr. Heitzmann & his staff were fantastic. They are so very nice. I am a self pay patient & their office was very affordable. I was in so much pain and thankfully, they had an opening the next morning. I’m still just stunned on how I had a wisdom tooth extracted and I had no pain at all. None. 0. I expected to feel something after the numbing agent wore off but still, I didn’t. I was able to attend a party the very next night! He is the absolute best. He’s very personable, polite, understanding, and confident. He’s going to tell you the options and even what he thinks is best. This is what an expert looks like. This will be my ONLY option for future services regarding my oral needs. Use this review as a sign to use Bay Oral & Facial Surgery!! Thank you guys so much."
"I’m a new resident here and I have lived in a very small town all my life. You didn’t get a choice because we only had one dentist and 2 family doctors. We knew we were in good hands. I have several issues going on and this is one thing I’m not used to. But the minute I walked in I felt welcomed. The girls upfront are very nice. Everything is calm and under control. Never no long waiting periods either. Then I meet Dr. Heitzmann. He was easy to talk to and listens to what you have to say. The dentist sent me there for my safety because I was taking RA meds. He said no problem I got this with confidence and I knew everything was going to be ok. He’s nurse is very professional and knows what’s she’s doing too. The day of surgery I went in and the next thing I know was them helping me to the car. I didn’t know nothing or felt anything. and that’s the way I wanted it to be. So if you need an Oral Surgery he’s the man you want to see. I highly recommend Dr.Heitzmann and his staff.Thank you big!!!!"
"Dr Heitzmann and his staff were extremely polite and professional. I love a Dr that talks to you like a person and not all stuff and rigid like many others do.

"The team at Bay Oral & Facial surgery provided top notch service and Dr Heitzman was very detailed with his explanation of my needed procedure. I would highly recommend this group of professionals!"
"The nicest people ever. I had a TMJ episode and was in mid panic mode! They accepted me walking in (with no appointment) and helped me get my jaws to relax. I was educated on my condition and my jaw was put back in place after 2 attempts. I’m forever thankful for the staff and Dentist in this office! I’ll refer anyone here every chance I get!!"
"Wonderful experience for wisdom teeth extraction, all things considered. Consult was thorough, Dr Heizmann answered all of my questions and explained any risks. He does this all with humor and reassuring confidence.Day of surgery was quick with no wait (which helped my anxiety with needles), and despite my situation having a few potentially challenging aspects, Dr removed all roots and pieces with no issues. Very thorough post-care sheet provided- loved that! Follow-up was quick, and again, Dr Heizmann answered all of my questions with thorough explanations.I felt odd looking forward to my next appointment, but this place has some of the best medical staff: friendly, patient, and knowledgeable! I never waited more than 10min for an appt. Will go back if I ever need an oral surgeon. Thank you!"

I had very little pain and almost zero swelling! Dr. Hietzmann explained the process from beginning to end. I’m a REALTOR®️and we try to explain step-by-step to the buyers and sellers of the process, so I truly appreciated Dr. Hietzmann and his staff for doing that. Thank you Dr. H and staff!"

This was out through to the doctor and a return phone call was made with the information. Great communication and experience!"
"WOW! They are seriously the best team ever! My 2 appointments were on time, the team is so friendly and efficient. Dr. Heitzmann is superb and honest.

"Few people look forward to surgery at the oral surgeons’s office but Bay Oral made it as good as it could have been.

"Dr. Heitzmann pulled/cut out 3 wisdoms at Gulf Coast Medical, December 2023, on me and it was one of the best if not best dental experiences I have ever had. The bedside manner Dr. Heitzmann has is phenomenal and his staff go above and beyond to help all patients! Highly recommend."

"I recently visited Bay Oral & Facial Surgery to get my wisdom teeth removed. Dr. Heitzmann performed the surgery and did an excellent job. I had a great experience with the staff, the procedure and the billing. They set clear expectations for billing and recovery. I ended up paying less than anticipated by the end of the procedure too! They not only have friendly staff, but also go the extra mile to check in after surgery. They made sure I was aware of how to contact them over the weekend if I had questions or concerns following my visit. I had the removal completed yesterday and feel great today. I'd recommend Bay Oral & Facial Surgery to my friends and family and would go back if I need other procedures in the future."

"Had bilateral parotid gland swelling. He sat down and researched what it might be, ended up being something my ENT should have diagnosed but I appreciate the help and time he put in to help us finally figure out!"
"Update: We seen Dr. Heitzmann again today, for the surgery check up and again he was just as professional, awesome and caring as our first visit. I would give 10 stars if I could. Thank you Dr. Heitzmann and staff for another great visit. Keep up the good work, we consider you all an asset to your profession and we know others could learn from you!Dr. Heitzmann is an awesome doctor! He was very professional, caring and answered all of our questions. He made us feel very comfortable with the surgery. My son had his wisdom tooth pulled out with no problems afterwards. We will definitely be back for his second one to be pulled when the time comes. Thank you to the staff too they all are great and deserve recognition."
"Dr. Heitzmann and his staff are amazing. My daughter just had her wisdom teeth removed and the surgery was extremely smooth from the time we booked the appointment until the procedure was done. She was very nervous and they made both of us feel completely at ease."
"Dr Heitzman was really great...very personable and warm! He asked what was going on, listened well, took a look and then explained what was happening medically and what our options were. Exactly what you in and from an oral surgeon! We didn't feel rushed...he took a lot of time to explain about the dangers of mouthwash containing alcohol (think oral cancer). He convinced us to switch to alcohol free mouthwash after the biopsy on the tongue lesion! Eek! It's for real, people!!!"
"I Highly recommend Dr.Heitzman! Today I had one of my wisdom teeth removed and going in I was a bit nervous but Dr.Heitzman definitely made me feel a lot more comfortable just by talking me through everything. I sure Could not have asked for a better experience! As of right now no pain and everything is going great!"
"If I could give 10 stars I would! This place is absolutely amazing and I highly recommend. They removed all 4 of my wisdom teeth at an excellent price. They made me feel extremely welcomed and even did a check up to see how I was feeling. The procedure was quick and painless. Thank you to all of the staff and Dr.Heitzmann."

"Dr. Heitzmann is an excellent doctor with a great staff. I get very anxious when having to have work done to my teeth. He explained everything and put me at ease when I had to have a molar extracted. After 7 days and still in a great deal of pain his office worked me in so I could be assured there was no infection. He is friendly and patient and takes the time to answer all questions. He will be my 'go to' anytime I need further procedures."
"My husband had 13 teeth removed at one time. The Dr. did an amazing job and there was not much bleeding considering the number of teeth removed. He did have pain for quite a while afterward, but that is to be expected with so many teeth removed. This doctor is incredibly skillful and explains what he will be doing very well. I would recommend him to anyone needing oral surgery. "
"I had 3 wisdom teeth removed under an hour, barely experience any pain. Dr. Heitzmann and staff were so nice and knowledgeable. I honestly would recommend him to anyone !"
"My daughter was in extreme pain and Dr Heitzmann and his staff went above and beyond to get her in as quickly as possible to extract her wisdom teeth. I cannot say enough positive things about the professionalism of this practice. I will recommend him to all of my friends and family. Thank you a thousand times over!!!"
"Amazing experience for my son having wisdom teeth extracted. Dr. Heitzman was awesome. His staff was kind, attentive and professional. It was an all around positive experience. Would recommend to all friends. I don’t recommend many doctors, but this one, I do."
"Two experiences and two thumbs up...daughter (all 4 wisdom teeth) and me (one broken took and one removed with a false installed). ZERO issues every. Incredible staff. Dr Heitzmann is awesome in all regards. Great personality, very professional, very honest, and educates his clients on How-Why-Expectations-etc. 100% recommend he and his staff (from the sweet and very helpful young lady at the front desk throughout)."
"I really appreciate Dr Heitzmann and his kind stuff!I had two teeth extracted by dr and later on he worked on bone craft for implant.Unfortunately the procedure was not successful, but none of it was doctors fault, as much as I could blame somebody, it's just did not work on my body and I understand that.However I appreciate surgeon working with me and trying his best.Always responsive to any phone calls and questions, worked with my schedule.Ladies working in the office are great!Very professional, kind and understanding!I will always highly recommend this dental practice to all my friends and family."
"Dr Heitzmann removed my four wisdom teeth Nov. 8, 2016. The procedure was completely painless,very little soreness and recovery was totally satisfactory. Dr. Heitzmann and staff were wonderful. Strongly recommend them!"
"I was referred to Dr. Heitzmann from my regular dentist after a complication during a tooth extraction. I did not know exactly what to expect or how long the recommended procedure was going to take.Upon entering the office I was greeted with an extremely caring and accommodating staff. After a very short wait period they took x-rays and then immediately to see the surgeon, Dr. Heitzmann.The doctor gave a detailed but simple explanation of what was going to take place and what I should expect. It was a painless extraction of an upper wisdom tooth with great care and expertise.Afterwards, the doctor and his staff gave specific instructions on how to care for myself after the surgery. At all times I was made to feel that my care was very important that I was the only patient that mattered that day even though I was a emergency "walk-in."Thank you Dr. Heitzmann and staff!"
"I was so nervous about getting my wisdom teeth extracted, due in most part by a trapped nerve, but Dr. Heitzmann made me feel right at home. He made sure that I knew exactly what was going on and was honest about his concerns. Recovery has been short and I would recommend him for everything! "
"This place is great from beginning to end. I'm over 40 and had 2 lower wisdom teeth removed. Zero pain, barely any bleeding, and minimal swelling. Never even needed a pain pill and I'm a huge baby with major anxiety."
"Dr Heitzmann and his staff were incredible. My Regular dentist tried to remove the wisdom tooth but could not get me numb enough and after they pulled me off the ceiling. I was sent to Bay Oral. Frankly, I should have just gone here in the first place. It was the easiest dental procedure I've ever had, at least that's what I was told because I didn't remember a thing. (and that's the way I like dental visits)I do remember how professional and attentive the staff was and Dr Heitzmann was wonderful explaining what was going to happen. If you have to get any advance dental procedure, don't wait, don't walk. RUN to Bay Oral and Dr HeitzmannBrian ChristopherPanama City Beach"
