Mia Heiligenstein, MD

I was drawn to maternal fetal medicine by the opportunity to care for both a mother and her baby during some of life’s most meaningful and vulnerable moments. As a maternal fetal medicine physician, I am passionate about providing thoughtful, evidence-based care for patients navigating high-risk pregnancies. My clinical interests include the prevention of preterm birth, hypertensive disorders and diabetes. Above all, I believe that exceptional care begins with listening. I strive to ensure that every patient feels heard, supported and empowered to make informed decisions throughout their pregnancy. 

I earned my medical degree from the University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health and completed my residency in obstetrics and gynecology at Stony Brook University Hospital. I went on to complete fellowship training in maternal fetal medicine at Mount Sinai West in New York City. 

It is a privilege to walk alongside patients and their families through the uncertainties and joys of pregnancy. I am excited to bring my clinical training, commitment to research and compassionate approach to the team at St. Luke’s. 

Outside of medicine, I enjoy spending time with my husband and son, traveling, practicing Pilates and exploring the local food scene in the Lehigh Valley.
