      From our first appointment when we were still waiting for our little baby with a cleft lip and palate to arrive we were so happy to have Dr. Heike taking care of us. She listened attentively and gave her advice and respected our family's wishes from the very beginning. She is always available and it is obvious that she genuinely cares about her patients and their families. We are so grateful that she is part of our baby girl's team and look forward to seeing her at every appointment.
