Dr. Eric G. Heegaard, M.D.

About

Dr. Eric Heegaard is a Minnesota based Gynecologic surgeon whose surgical practice has been on the forefront of minimally invasive gynecology for over a decade. He was one of the first surgeons in the twin cities to perform a laparoscopic subtotal hysterectomy (removing the uterus while leaving the cervix in place) and more recently was the first surgeon at Fairview Southdale Hospital in Edina, Minnesota to perform a total laparoscopic hysterectomy using the Davinci Robot. Dr. Heegaard is one of a small group of gynecologic surgeons in Minnesota credentialed to use the Davinci Robot and is a proctor for other gynecologists who are learning to use the Davinci system. Dr. Heegaard’s interest in minimally invasive management of fibroids (benign uterine tumors) led him to start the Midwest Fibroid Treatment Center, the first of its kind in Minnesota. His expertise also includes treatment of endometriosis, fibroids, infertility, bladder incontinence, pelvic floor prolapse, and cosmetic gynecology.
