Dr. Brian Vassar Heil, MD
I had breast surgery and liposuction of my back and stomach with Dr. Heil a 2 month ago. His work is the best. My experience from consultation to surgery to post surgery visits were excellent. Zak, Lori, Amber and Amanda were so knowledgeable and caring to me the entire process. I felt totally comfortable despite the fact I was really scared of having elective surgey. Dr. Heil's bedside manner is so gentle and caring. He put my fears to rest. He talks a bit soft, but is so understanding and patient. His surgery center is beautiful, comfortable and is definitely equipped with the most talented employees. Everything was impeccable - from the monogram sheets to the cleanliness of the facility. My husband was even taken care of during my surgery. He loved the coffee bar, comfortable seating, big screen TV and free Wi-Fi. The nurse even updated him on what was happening during my surgery. I feel Dr. Heil really took the time to understand my needs and delivered the results I was expecting. I have to admit I d id wait for 30 minutes at my consultation, but he never rushed me. Maybe that is why he runs behind. He answers every question you have and you don't feel embarrassed asking all kinds of questions. He really makes you feel special and important. I visited two other doctors in Pittsburgh and all were pretty similar in price. I decided to go with Dr. Heil because of my comfort level, his board certifications and I like the fact that he does surgery in his own surgical center. He is truly a talented surgeon. I cant say enough good things about him. He has changed my life. After having two kids, I now feel beautiful and more confident again. I thank Dr. Heil for that!
