Dr. Michaella "Keta" Radich Heitzler is a board certified pediatric dentist. She grew up in Neenah, Wisconsin and is a country girl at heart. After attending Marquette University and graduating magna cum laude, she traveled to 33 countries in Europe and the Middle East to satiate her wanderlust and love of travel. Dr. Keta completed dental school at the University of Pennsylvania, graduating with clinical honors, after which, she gained her pediatric specialty training at Children's Hospital of Wisconsin. She earned her board certification in 2015.
Dr. Keta met her husband, Matt, during residency. They lived and worked in Chicago for five years, always sharing the dream of moving back to Neenah when it was time to raise a family. Matt and Keta brought home a Flemish giant bunny named Gus Gus (you might see him at the office!) shortly after marriage, and their first daughter, Ahava, in 2017. Then, they knew it was time to come home. The Heitzlers have also added Artemis Mary Rose (2019) and Fitz (2020), to the family and, now, feel complete.
Dr. Keta's treatment philosophy focuses on prevention and comprehensive, conservative dental care with specialty training in a spectrum of medically complex, special needs, and behaviorally challenging patients. Coming from a brood of a family, Dr. Keta has natural ease with children and wants every child to feel safe, empowered, and loved when they visit Little Critter Pediatric Dentistry.
Dr. Keta is delighted to be back in the Fox Valley! She is savoring time with family and basking in parenthood. You will find the Heitzlers at parks, farmers markets, apple orchards, live music, and community events around town. Dr. Keta enjoys adventure, building her faith, snail mail, sweet things, and spending quality time with friends and family. She can't wait to meet you and your children at your next dental appointment!
