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.
Born in Connecticut, Heather is married to a photographer/designer and has two sons. She enjoys running, skiing, soccer and gardening.

My provider always listens, works hard to make sure my needs are met and understood. She talks everything thru with me and explains the positives and negative to every test, med, or issue. I have followed her from her previous workplace to this one because she is the best doctor I have ever had. I think I have been seeing her for my medical needs for at least 10 + years and don't see myself ever seeing a different doctor unless she was to retire. I hope that doesn't happen anytime soon. I will be her patient for as long as she will have me.

Heather takes time to make sure she understands my questions, and then takes time to answer fully, and then takes time to make sure I understand her answer. I don't feel rushed when I see her.

I love going to Providence for my healthcare because the appointments aren't longer than they need to be and it's easy to get what I need. I feel heard and can always ask more questions via MyChart.
