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. Whitney Eichholz received her bachelors degree in Biological Sciences and Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from Marquette University. Following dental school, Dr. Whitney served for five years in the Air Force as a general dentist.
One of her Air Force assignments was in Italy, where she acquired not only a love of Italian food but also treating pediatric patients! Being able to serve the children of military families was what helped Dr. Whitney realize her passion for pediatric dentistry.
Following graduation from residency, Dr. Whitney and her husband, Andy, moved back home to Wisconsin. Dr. Whitney enjoys baking, reading, walks with their dog Zucca, cheering on the Packers and spending time Up North. Dr. Whitney and Andy are delighted to share that they recently expanded their family by welcoming their daughter, Charlotte, in August 2020.
Dr. Whitney is thrilled to be joining the Little Critter team! She loves having the opportunity to make each childs dental visit special and personalized to their unique needs. Her hope is that dental visits during childhood will create the foundation for a lifetime of dental health. Dr. Whitney looks forward to meeting the families of Little Critter Pediatric Dentistry and being part of what makes their dental experience so special!

I can't say enough good things about this dental practice! My kids have seen both Dr. Keta and Dr. Whitney, and we have nothing but positive things to say about their experiences. From the greeting by Matt at the reception desk to the assistants to the doctors, everyone is so professional and so great with kids! One of my kids has some sensory issues, and Dr. Keta was fantastic with him. We were there yesterday, and my four-year-old keeps asking me when he gets to go back again. Highly recommend!

Can't say enough about this place. They allow kids to feel comfortable at the dentist. Augustus Caesar, the ginormous bunny, makes the kids feel in a safe space. Excellent customer service and providers. We're now bringing both of our kids here for regular checkups when all we went for was a semi-emergent appointment.

Dr Keta is amazing. She was so patient with my child who has a significant oral aversion. She was also knowledgeable of my child's medical condition, and how it impacts dental health. And who doesn't love a giant bunny named Gus?

My 5 year old daughter who is anxious about about getting her hair brushed had 3 cavities filled here, and asks when she can go to the dentist again to see Dr. Keta and Gus (their rabbit mascot). That says it all! The staff is friendly, kind, gentle and patient. Thank you for making what seemed like a nightmare - no big deal.
