Highlights
Meet OB-GYN Wendy Heaton, MD
My name is Dr. Wendy Heaton and I'm an OBGYN hospitalist. I provide mostly obstetrical care for patients coming into our labor and delivery unit, as well as gynecologic care for patients coming in through our emergency room. I chose OBGYN because I really liked the balance of it being a surgical field as well as getting to follow women throughout their lives and providing care for them. It doesn't hurt that my mom was a labor and delivery nurse as well. One experience that shaped my career was losing my father when I just started off training in my medical career. It showed me kind of the patient side of medicine and I think enables me to be a more compassionate provider. I'm professionally passionate about providing safe care to our moms delivering babies, as well as advocating for access to contraception. A patient should come to UVA Health Prince William Medical Center for care because what really sets us apart is the people who work here. I work with other doctors, nurses, medical staff on the unit who are just excellent at what they do and are really passionate about providing great care for our patients.
