Dr. Edward Heidtman
Dr. Edward Heidtman was born and raised in a small town in Central Florida.
He graduated from the University of Florida as a Phi Beta Kappa and then stayed
in Gainesville to attend medical school at the University of Florida.
Dr. Heidtman moved to Greenville in 1993 to start his residency at the Greenville
Hospital System. While there, he delivered over a thousand babies, performed hundreds
of gynecologic surgeries, and received recognition for his surgical skills and
clinical research. A sixth-generation Floridian, he assumed that his time in Greenville
would merely be a “change of scenery” for a few years before returning to Central
Florida to be nearer his family’s orange groves. However, he fell in love with
the area and decided to make the Upstate his permanent home.
After he finished residency, Dr. Heidtman took his first job in Spartanburg where
he practiced for 5 ½ years before returning to Greenville at the end of 2002.
He was in a medium-sized practice in Spartanburg but saw a unique opportunity
to purchase a solo Obstetrics & Gynecology practice from Dr. Dan Adcock, who
was retiring after more than 30 years in practice. Dr. Heidtman wanted to focus
more on individualized care and took this opportunity to do so. He moved back
to Greenville, joined Dr. Adcock, and Carolina Center for Women’s Health was formed.
As Dr. Adcock retired, the practice was joined by Dr. Shannon Johnson. Drs. Heidtman
and Johnson continued to practice together for the next four years, enjoying the
intimacy of a small OB/GYN practice. During this time, they became aware of the
changes occurring in medical practices and decided to merge with the former Greenville
East Center for Women, who shared many of their ideals. Together they formed Carolina
Women’s Health and moved the practice to its current location on Halton Road.
It was during his year as Chief Resident that Dr. Heidtman met his future wife,
Leigh Watters Heidtman. They married in 1999 and now have two children. He enjoys
traveling, spending time with his family, water sports, snow skiing, golf, playing
the piano and landscaping. He and his wife are very active in the community and
she is on the boards of several charitable organizations. They attend the Buncombe
Street Methodist Church.
Dr. Heidtman is a Fellow of the American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology
and is a member of the South Atlantic Association of Obstetricians and Gynecologists,
the Southeastern OB-GYN Society, as well as other local, state, and national professional
societies.
