About Heather M. Pfeiffer
After 10 years in trauma and emergency care as a flight nurse, Heather Pfeiffer, FNP, decided she wanted to focus on keeping patients healthy and safe. Becoming a family practice nurse practitioner was her natural next step. In her practice, she emphasizes patient education to empower patients to be good decision-makers in their own care choices; whole, self-care for wellness; open communication; and partnering with patients in health.
She considers her most important roles as a provider to be guiding good health choices, teaching healthy living and supporting health choices that best fit the person. "I enjoy the gift of helping others," she says. "My philosophy of care is to recognize patients as individuals who are a part of a larger context of family, work, friends, sport, stressors and environment. I work with patients and families on health, wellness and navigating illness care."
Heather has been caring for patients and families since 1994. She is committed to shared decision-making with patients and families, evidence-based wellness focused practice, and an emphasis on self-care and personal wellness. She has also earned a North American Menopause Society Certification.

Dr. Pfeiffer is always prepared when I have an appointment. She asks the right questions to get to the problem and then has the knowledge to figure out the answers to my health issues. I very much appreciate the care she takes of me. She wants me well and thriving and I feel that wish from her in the way she listens and responds. Thank heaven she is my primary care physician.
