Dr. Brian Vassar Heil, MD
I went to Dr. Heil for a breast lift/aug. I would give him my highest recommendation. When I considered my surgeon, my first and foremost concern was his level of skill and results. I could not be more pleased with his staff helping me through the pre-surgery visits and his care in explaining everything about the procedure to me. I found the doctor to be very frank when answering my questions - and he took the time to answer every single question that I had both pre and post-op. Again, I would give him my highest recommendation for this type of procedure. He isn't the kind of guy who is going to hug you and sing you a song because you are scared but he will make sure that your questions are all answered to your satisfaction. Regarding follow up, I had a freak out moment the following day, called his emergency line and he (not a nurse or staff member) called me within 10 minutes to follow up.Not only did I have no issues with the staff - I LIKED THEM. My only concern here was the wait time, which depending on time of day can be excruciatingly long.
