Kimberlynn Heller DO, FACOG

“I feel that once a patient comes into my room, I’m going to treat them like they’re my family. That’s how I talk to them, that’s how I take care of them. That philosophy fits me personally, and I think it helps the patient as well.”

Dr. Kimberlynn Heller completed her B.S. at Howard University in Washington, D.C. She then returned to Michigan where she earned her Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine at Michigan State University, College of Osteopathic Medicine. Dr. Heller completed her internship and residency at the University of Illinois in Peoria, Illinois. Her areas of focus include preventative medicine, the full spectrum of contraceptive options, minimally invasive surgery, healthy moms, and healthy babies.

In her spare time, Dr. Heller enjoys traveling, reading, and spending time with her husband and daughter. She is a Star Wars fanatic who is still fascinated by superhero cartoons.
