He treats a variety of cancers, including malignant (cancerous) and benign (non-cancerous) blood conditions.

Dr. Hegeman enjoys meeting new people and believes good communication with patients and their families is a crucial part of the health care relationship. He also likes the challenge of caring for and treating different cancers and blood disorders.

In his free time, Dr. Hegeman enjoys spending time with his wife and seven children and reading an actual newspaper every day. He also likes hiking, live music, college basketball, dining out, interesting conversations, DIY (do it yourself) work on old houses and walking to work.

I have always been fascinated by the sciences in general, and particularly the wonderful and amazing machine that is our human body.
