Heather began her career in Emergency Medicine and Urgent Care before transitioning to Cardiology, where she spent approximately 10 years caring for patients with a wide range of cardiovascular conditions. She also gained experience in Pediatric Orthopedics. After an opportunity to shadow in ENT Urgent Care, Heather was drawn to the specialty and its ability to significantly impact patients’ quality of life.
Throughout her career, Heather’s most meaningful professional experiences have involved identifying unexpected but critical diagnoses and helping patients receive the treatment they needed. She strives to treat every patient with the same compassion and attention she would want for her own family.
Heather lives in Saratoga with her husband, Jameel, who is also a physician assistant, their two children, Ramzi and Dahlia, and their two cats. Outside of work, she enjoys spending time with family and friends, cooking, exercising, and cheering on her children in basketball, lacrosse, and football. She is also a longtime fan of the Boston Celtics and New England Patriots.
