Heidi Purcell, MD, recently joined the Woman's Health Group in the office of Dr. Mark Gottesman. She is a native of Salt Lake City, Utah, where she completed both her bachelor's degree in biology, and her medical degree with the University of Utah. Keen to move to a warmer climate and a competitive academic atmosphere, she continued her medical training with Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas where she completed a residency in obstetrics and gynecology.

Her particular interests include teenage and first gynecologic visits and contraception, however, she enjoys the wide variety that the field of women's health encompasses. She is comfortable taking care of her patients through the entirety of their reproductive and post menopausal lives with an emphasis on communication and patient education.

She holds professional memberships with the American Association of Laparoscopic Gynecologists and American College of Obstetrics and Gynecology, in addition to local groups including Harris County Medical Society and Texas Medical Association.

Outside of work, she enjoys spending as much time as she can with her family in the Texas Hill Country. She enjoys an active lifestyle, visiting local museums and spending time with her dogs, and as an accomplished musician she participates as a member of Texas Medical Center Orchestra having performed in Carnegie Hall in 2013.

Dr. Purcell welcomes new patients with daily office hours from 9:00am-4:00pm at the 7580 Fannin Building, Suite 330 on the Woman's Hospital of Texas Campus.
