She is Board Certified in obstetrics and gynecology, is a Fellow of the American College of Obstetrics & Gynecology, and a member of the Society of Reproductive Medicine. In over 30 years of practice, Dr. Heidtke has been a leader in bringing advances in the ever evolving field of gynecology and infertility to the women of Northern Michigan. She delivered thousands of babies over a 25 year obstetric career. She performed major gynecologic surgery for over 30 years as well as provided the most advanced infertility care to women in the region. She has now refocused her practice to only provide the full spectrum of infertility care, as she has become an official satellite of The Fertility Center, based in Grand Rapids.  Dr. Heidtke and her husband David have two wonderful daughters and 4 grandchildren. She enjoys the outdoors, reading, and playing the violin, and considers Petoskey “heaven on earth”.
