About Abigail Katherine Heaton, DO

Care Philosophy I always loved talking to people and doing the best that I could to help them. And that very easily led me into the medical field because it is such an act of service. Starting into medical school I knew that I liked working with kids. Starting my third year of medical school, I actually came to Springfield for rotations. We spent a lot of time at Mercy with different specialties. I was able to work also while I was here with a family practice doctor that did OB. I learned how great that could be. I fell in love with the prenatal care aspect of it. I learned that I could do prenatal care with moms, and I could take care of their babies. I hope patients feel like they can approach me if there's any concerns. I plan to be as available as I can. And that's something that I really liked in my training, having the ability to talk directly to patients and be available by phone for any concerns that might arise.

        It was great. Has been a while since a primary doctor really listened to me. I got to ask her questions and she listened.

        It's unfortunate that mercy doesn't have primary care physicians for Medicare patients in Springfield but Dr Heaton has been caring and understanding about my disability and my long medical history. I appreciate her time and care.

        With Doctor Heaton I felt like a person that was being treated like a person rather than a number or box to tick. She listed, asked good questions, allowed me time to speak and gave me good advise to complete before meeting again. Wonderful staff and really like the facility and care team. They seem to actually CARE!
