Dr. Brian Vassar Heil, MD
After consulting with (2) other plastic surgeons. I decided to have one more consult with Dr. Heil MD. I first visited Dr. Heil's office in 2009. I was emotional and a nervous wreck at my first appt. As I set waiting for my appt I began to get more and more nervous and upset. After an hour of waiting to see the Doctor, I was very aggravated that I had to set and wait so long. (approximately an hour or more) Finally... he came in the consultation room, I immediately had an attitude with him ( how dare he keep me waiting so long? I was a (cash) patient and my time was valuable to me and my husband.) He began explaining to me and my husband why he was late seeing me. After he explained that he gives (every single patient, not just me!) all the time they need to ask him questions and go over every detail of their concerns and fears. I soon realized that he was not going to rush me through my appt and he was going to be very patient with me and my husband, (and certainly not because he needed my 10 or 15K.) I soon began to understand just how his mind worked. He was not going to let me or anyone rush him or his work....."This is exactly what I wanted in (my) Plastic Surgeon" I had my procedure's done (yes you read that right, plural, more than one procedure) all done by Dr. Heil, MD and I will continue to utilize his expertise. The truth is: He is an execellent Doctor and care's professionally for his patients. As for his employee staff, they all may not be perfect as employee's ,but I am certainly not going to base my medical opinion of the Doctor on how his staff treats me!!! (I'm not there for them, I'm there for the Doctor) Anyways you show me just one office in the county that has perfect employees.....well we all know that's impossible, because people are not perfect!! Everyone has a bad day, get over it. And I think just maybe all you people that talk so poorly of Dr Heil needs to know that the world does not evolve around YOU! The patient in front of you is just as important to Dr Heil as you are and as the patient after you. Grow up and get a life. And for those of you that think he just wants your money....Well I know personally I paid my dues so I could get a good job that paid me lots of money, Dr Heil also paid his due's.... he deserves all the money he makes, so if your jealous because he worked hard to make lots of money why dont you go out and work hard so you too can make lots of money. I am not in anyway related to Dr Heil or paid for my comment. I think he is very professional and very good at what he does. I would never go any where else. Dr Heil, I do not expect you to be perfect, you are great in your profession.
