Heather's interests include family practice, women's health, preconception and prenatal care, management of chronic conditions, treatment of minor acute illnesses, episodic care for acute illness, immigrant and refugee health and pediatric health and wellness. In Family Medicine, providers care for the whole patient, coordinating necessary tests, immunizations, and consulting with specialists when necessary. At OMC, each patient is unique—as is the care we provide. Even though OMC’s family practice caregivers often serve multiple generations of entire families, their personal approach to care ensures each patient is given individualized care at the most personal level. Many times same day or next day appointments are available.
