About Me
I am a board-certified anesthesiologist at The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center and the medical director for Ambulatory Perioperative Services. I specialize in outpatient surgery and perioperative medicine to ensure patient safety, readiness and approval for surgery at the surgery centers, comfort and safe discharge home after surgery. My patients can rely on me for high quality, compassionate care and honest communication in every encounter.
I collaborate with a multidisciplinary team of skilled experts to ensure each patient receives personalized care tailored to their unique needs and values. In addition to my clinical responsibilities, I am passionate about leadership, organizational behavior, operational efficiency, educating and mentoring the next generation of providers.

Consulting and Related Relationships
At The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center, we support a faculty member’s research and consulting in collaboration with medical device, research and/or drug companies because a faculty member’s expertise can guide important advancements in the practice of medicine and improve patient care. In order to provide effective management of these relationships, the University requires annual disclosures from all faculty members with external interests related to their University responsibilities.
As of 09/30/2024, Dr. Heard has reported no relationships with companies or entities.
