Heather always takes the time to address your concerns and makes you feel right at ease.

Childbirth / Labor & Delivery

Heather is phenomenal. I’ve told her this before, but growing up I never wanted children because I was petrified of labor / delivery / recovery. You hear horror stories on social media and so I was set - no children. Imagine my surprise when my husband and I found out we were expecting last year. I’d have to face my fears. I spent 9 months just going down a rabbit hole of what was going to go wrong. Labor and delivery came and she was amazing. She came often to update me. She made sure I was comfortable. She walked me through everything she was doing and why. She was encouraging and cheered me on while pushing and exhausted. It was also cool to see her teaching a colleague (who she had help deliver the baby and stitch me up). Because of Heather and Stephanie I am no longer afraid of having children and look forward to having one, possibly two more.

Dr. Helton is just the best. She always makes us feel well educated and comfortable while in her care. I’m never afraid to ask questions and always leave feeling confident in my next steps, medically. The whole office at TPW is also very welcoming and accommodating.

Everyone was so nice and Heather always walks me through everything when I’m anxious

Annual Well Woman Exam

Heather is absolutely amazing. Her kind energy and time she takes during the visit is highly appreciated.

OB Care

Heather was extremely nice. She made me feel comfortable during the physical exam which was very appreciated. However, with this being my first prenatal appointment, she didn’t ask me anything about my symptoms. There was no discussion about how I was feeling (eg extremely nauseous etc.) so no discussion of potential remedies, what medications were safe to take, etc. Also the nurse who I met with before who did intake mentioned the CNM may recommend taking baby aspirin due to my age and that she would discuss it with me. However she never brought it up. I forgot to ask her about this because it was such a whirlwind of appointments. I am still unclear if I’m supposed to. Putting this aside, it was still a good appointment overall and I’d be happy to see her again. It was nice meeting with someone who had a warm and friendly temperment.

The mammogram tech explained the procedure thoroughly and made me feel at ease. The reception staff checked me in quickly and explained my wait time. The phlebotomist was extremely quick and friendly. I come back to TP4W specifically for Heather because she is my favorite!
