My Philosophy and Approach to Wellness...

I believe any good doctor-patient relationship begins with listening and communication. As an MDVIP-affiliated primary care physician, I have the time I need to forge close relationships with my patients in a calm, highly personalized manner and act as their advocate, helping them navigate the increasingly complex healthcare system. 

You are unique, and as such, your medical goals and needs are also unique. Together, we can discuss, plan and coordinate a wellness journey designed specifically for you. I recognize the importance of patients being active participants in their medical decisions. By bringing you a personalized healthcare approach, we can work closely together to help you achieve the good health and peace of mind you deserve. I am a board-certified internal medicine physician with extensive experience treating chronic conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, and sleep disorders with an emphasis on nutrition, fitness, preventive medicine and heart health. I also offer conveniences, like same- or next-day appointments that start on time, which may be found in concierge medicine practices.

My primary care practice serves patients in the central Palm Beach County area including Lake Worth, West Palm Beach, Green Acres, Atlantis, South Palm Beach, Manalapan, Hypoluxo, Palm Springs, Lake Clark Shores, Wellington and Boynton Beach. I am an attending physician at JFK Medical Center, and I firmly believe it is in the best interest of my patients to be treated by the physician who knows them best when hospitalized – that’s me!

He saved my life at least twice

What more needs to be said after He saved my life at least twice and most recently my wife's..

His attention, focus and direct action are unique in todays world with delays and uncertainty all about. He acts with purpose and sensitivy that I have rarely seen.

On the way home from New York to Florida I developed pneumonia. I called dr heron and immediately he called in a prescription to my pharmacy. It was waiting for me when I reached home. This exemplifies what a caring dr he is.

from Marilyn in FL March 1, 2018 for James C. Heron, MD

It's just so nice to know that Dr. James Heron is there for us whenever we need him. If my husband wakes us not feeling well, he gets right in to see Dr. Heron that very same day. When I was sick and called him, (not wanting to go in to see him and spread my germs) he kept in touch to make sure that I am not getting worse. My relatives in Michigan wish they had a doctor like James… See more

I trust Dr. Heron to have my best interest at heart.

Dr. Heron helped me make the transition from a purely synthetic thyroid hormone replacement to a combination of organic and synthetic thyroid hormone replacement. He was always there for me month after month as he figured out the right combination of the two, and he bull's eyed it. I feel very good.
