About

Heidi Frazier is dual board certified in internal medicine and pediatrics. She practices primary care for anyone from newborns to the elderly. After graduating the University of Mississippi School of Medicine, Frazier went on to complete her internal medicine and pediatrics residency at the University of Kentucky. During her four years of residency, she grew to love the Bluegrass State and UK, so she decided to stay on as clinical faculty.

Personal statement

I first became exposed to internal medicine-pediatrics after my first year of medical school when I shadowed a med-peds physician who became one of my role models. Her ability to treat such a wide variety of people and diseases was intriguing.

I love being able to care for patients of all ages and enjoy the relationships I make with patients and families. I like the challenges of chronic-disease management and coordinating care with subspecialists. One aspect of primary care that is essential is treating the whole patient and not just the disease, so I take into account the social, spiritual and psychological aspects of treatment. It's also important to identify the goals of the patient so that we can work together.

One of my mentors during medical school shared with me quotes from Sir William Osler, who helped create the first medical residency programs. These quotes have shaped my philosophy on patient care: “Listen to your patient; he is telling you the diagnosis.” “Care more for the individual patient than for the special features of the disease … Put yourself in his place … The kindly word, the cheerful greeting, the sympathetic look - these the patient understands.”

    Dr. Frazier always listens. She is kind, and understands that health and health outcomes are specific to the individual while understanding that many factors play a role. It is so encouraging to sit with her and know that she takes into consideration the amount of stress our bodies can feel when we are not safe. As a patient with her I feel safe and that my concerns are valued. She speaks truth, encouragement, and validates challenges with practical help, tools, and knowledge. I am so grateful to have her as my doctor. She makes the world a better place.

      Overall, doctors seem more preoccupied w/writing their note than listening to the patient. I understand it's necessary for billing, but a real disservice to us.

      Dr. Heidi Frazier began treating me in 2015 and recommended Dr. Kristen Stakelin the next year to get my diabetes diagnosis in control. From their care, my A1c went from an 11.0 To my current 7.2, which is nothing short of miraculous in my book. They encouraged me to make subtle lifestyle changes and medication changes and it has made all the difference. I'm healthier now at age 60 than in my 40's and 50's. Their expertise and care means the world to me and UK HealthCare is fortunate to have them in their employment. They change lives for the better.
