Synthia Heffernan, APRN

She made my experience at Norton a nightmare! After delivery (when you’re most vulnerable) she tries to scare you into having your baby treated and tested for all kinds of things. She is also VERY nosy. If you’re a private person with a religious or multicultural background steer clear of her! If you deliver at Norton and she comes into your room ask to see another pediatrician ASAP. I’m not sure how someone as closed minded as her got so far serving at a hospital with such a diverse patient list. As I stated before STEER CLEAR! She will have you completely stressed out- also whatever she tells you definitely get a second opinion. (She was worried about numerous conditions with my baby and we took him to a different pediatrician 2 days later and none of her “concerns” were an issue at all.)
