We are currently experiencing a technical issue that is impacting our ability to receive faxes. As a result, clinical documentation and prescription requests sent via fax may not be received. Our team is actively working to resolve the issue as quickly as possible, though we do not yet have an estimated time for resolution. In the meantime, we encourage patients to use the patient portal for prescription refill requests or to call your primary care provider for any urgent needs. We apologize for the inconvenience and appreciate your understanding as we work to restore our systems.

My name is Karen Heard. I am an internist, a specialist in adult medicine.

 

I grew up in Kentucky, went to school in Tennessee and did my internal medicine residency in Seattle. I practiced medicine in Indiana for many years. More recently, my husband’s job brought us to Philadelphia for a few years and now to Maine.

 

I enjoy getting to know my patients and their families. I like working together to help patients be as healthy as possible.

 

When I am not working, I enjoy outdoor activities with my husband and my dog.
