From age 12, Dr. Heffron knew that she wanted to be a doctor. She was attracted to the opportunity of helping women with their unique healthcare needs, as well as using her surgical skills. After delivering babies for 34 years, Dr. Heffron now limits her practice to office gynecology and GYN surgery. The idea that The Women’s Health Group can genuinely make a difference in a patient’s life is ultimately why Dr. Heffron formed the practice in January of 1991. She earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology from Centenary College in Shreveport, Louisiana and earned her medical degree from the University of Oklahoma College of Medicine and completing her residency through Louisiana State University Medical Center.
She is the former Department Chair for Women’s and Children’s Services at Hillcrest Hospital South, OB/GYN Section Chief at Hillcrest Medical Center and has served as chairman of the nursing liaison and Quality Assessment committee at St. John Medical Center.
She is a member of the Tulsa County Medical Society, the Oklahoma State Medical Association, and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists. Dr. Heffron is board certified in Obstetrics and Gynecology. She is also certified to perform gynecological procedures using the daVinci Robotic Surgery.
On a personal level, Kathleen is married and has one daughter. She is also an avid baseball fan and likes to cook, especially for large groups of friends and family.
