Dr. Richard Heywood, DO

Dr. Richard Heywood, DO

OB-GYN
133 Falmouth Rd, Bldg. 2, Ste A, Mashpee, MA
Dr. Heywood was born in Plymouth and raised in Marstons Mills, Massachusetts. His favorite activities in his youth included Boy Scouts, fishing, and playing guitar and trumpet in his band. He attended Massachusetts Maritime Academy in Buzzards Bay where he studied Engineering, met his wife and took a commision in the Navy Reserve upon graduation. After working for several years as an engineer at Stone and Webster in Boston, he felt he missed the human aspect in his profession and wanted to explore the medical field. He signed up for pre-med classes at Harvard Extension School which is where he became good friends with Dr. Speed. Dr. Heywood went onto New England College of Osteopathic Medicine and graduated in 2004. He completed his OB/GYN residency at Portsmouth Naval Hospital in Portsmouth, VA and moved with the Navy to work at Bremerton Naval Hospital in Bremerton, WA. After 7 years of serving active duty in the Navy, he moved with his wife and three children back to Cape Cod to be closer to their families. In 2014 he started Falmouth Women’s Health to et back to the basics of providing medical care. His desire to provide good old fashioned medical care to his patients led him to simplify his medical practice. This streamlined approach allows him to spend significantly more time with each patient while increasing patient satisfaction and his own job satisfaction. This leads to more meaningful and productive interactions and allows time for patients to be heard and the physician to tie up all loose ends during the visit. Dr. Heywood truly enjoys the ability to spend more time getting to know individual patients and therefore individualize their care. In his spare time, he enjoys fishing, boating, music and spending time with his family and his dog Frankie. He is looking forward to having Dr. Speed join his practice!
