Executive Producer / Showrunner, Doc
“Finding an onset medical consultant who is knowledgeable, thorough, efficient and lets nothing fall through the cracks, is a very daunting task. Which is why when Josh Hehner was recommended to me by a doctor friend, I was thrilled. And then he exceeded my already high expectations in every way. On our show, DOC, Josh was a godsend. Diving into the scripts and providing a breakdown that covered even the most minute detail. He makes himself available to writers, directors, actors and crew for any and all questions and demonstrations. He is willing to do whatever it takes to make the medicine feel real and authentic. I can’t recommend him highly enough.”
"I've had the pleasure of collaborating with Josh on multiple productions, and I can confidently say he’s a powerhouse of expertise, unwavering dedication, and meticulous precision. Simply put, he’s in a league of his own—the absolute best in the business."

“Working with Josh Hehner was a pleasure. He was professional, prepared, thoughtful, and a joy to be around. He brought the medical sequences to life in collaboration with the actors, writers and showrunner and found the perfect line in every instance between realism and dramatization. We would work with him again in a heartbeat. “

“Josh is a valuable part of any successful Props Team when medical advice/on set technical help is needed. His professionalism, grace under pressure and extensive medical knowledge about "the machines that go beep" are a real asset on set. He works seamlessly with the actors, director and other crew to ensure medical authenticity while telling the story of the scene. Josh is a joy to work with and I hope he is available for all of my medical advisor/tech support on future projects.”
“Ive been working in the Film & Television industry for 30 years. Whenever I need an on set medical advisor, I always call Josh Hehner first. Josh's expertise covers a wide array of medical subjects. His preparation is second to none. Whether your writers need advice on verbiage or actors need training in an operation.. Josh is your guy.”

Propsmaster, Cross, Accused
“I have worked with Josh on a number of productions including “CROSS” (seasons 1&2) on Amazon Prime and “ACCUSED” on FOX. Josh was instrumental in making a brain surgery scene come to life. Working with the director and cast members to make the scene dramatic, visually exciting and realistic. Josh is an incredible asset for any production looking to make their scenes as realistic as possible. He is my first call for a medical consultant.”
