Patient Testimonials
"I couldn't have imagined a better experience than the one I had with you. After spending almost 2 years contemplating breast augmentation, I'm so glad I chose Premier. You and your staff provided me all the information and support I needed!"
"I was very anxious about breast augmentation, but I didn't need to be. I felt completely safe and taken care of at the surgery center. I awoke feeling slight discomfort, however, that evening I watched TV, ate a little dinner, and went to bed early. The healing process has been amazingly easy for me, I returned to work in 3 days. I felt that I was in such good hands, thank you for taking care of me."
"My new breast look and feel completely real and I could not be happier! Not only are you an incredible surgeon, but an amazing artist as well. Thank you for brightening my life!"
"I had plastic surgery performed by Doctor Heil 2 years ago and additional surgeries since. I have been extremely satisfied and would not consider choosing another plastic surgeon."
"I've been meaning to write and thank-you for your excellent care for some time.
From my consultation where you spend time ensuring all my questions were answered, through the surgery, to my follow-up appointments, all of you have shown a great attention to detail, a heartfelt level of caring for my well-being, and the highest quality of doctor-patient relationship that I have ever experienced or could expect. My new tummy and breasts looks better than before I had children. I appreciate all that you've done and will recommend you to all moms considering cosmetic surgery."
"Dr. Heil,
I am very happy with my breast augmentation. It is wonderful to be able to shop for blouses and dresses, something that I used to anguish over for several years. Thank you again. I am so happy."
"Dear Dr. Heil,
I wanted to express how happy I am with my surgery. I was scared about having the surgery, but you put me at ease and the time you spend with me during our consultation was exceptional. It is wonderful dealing with such a great doctor and staff. Your office is exceptional. Thank you again for giving me back my confidence."
"Dear Dr Heil and Staff,
I could not be more pleased. I have no regrets that I made the decision to do it. Doctor Heil, you were wonderful and I would highly recommend you. The anesthesiologist and all the nurses were fantastic. I felt I was in very good hands. I am very grateful for the professionalism, compassion, and care I received at your center. Thank you so much."
"You and your staff were amazing. My life has changed so much and I owe it all to them." Thank you for your support and guidance through this entire process. I look forward to spending time in your medical spa this month."
"Dr. Heil, I am so happy with my new breast, words can't express how much confidence I have when I look at myself in the mirror. I really love what I see. I love going shopping! Your staff was right when they said I would be so excited to buy my first t-shirt. I never thought I would have gone through surgery but because of you and your staff, everyone made me feel so comfortable. On the day of my surgery in your operating room, I was nervous but everyone just made me feel so secure. Your nursing team was so compassionate. I really don't know how to thank you."
"I want to express to you how delighted I am with the results of my surgery. You are a very gifted surgeon and I am so fortunate that my friend recommended you to me. And your staff is marvelous- from my first contact where Holly gave me directions, to meeting with Dana who was so helpful and empathetic- to my consultation with you, to the entire surgical team – what pleasant and caring people you all are. Surgery is never fun, but you all made it a great experience. I am forever thankful."
I can't imagine my experience with Premier Plastic Surgery and Acqua Blu being any better than it was. I will be returning in the future. My body and skin feels and looks radiant. Thank you for your excellence!
"Dear Dr. Heil,
After spending about 4 months contacting and researching plastic surgeons in the North Hills, I have to admit I was on information "overload" from all the blogs on the internet. After my first meeting at your office with Rose and yourself, my decision was made for me. I would like to say that your whole staff is a very caring and professional group that goes beyond helpful. The welcome packet was a wonderful touch. I could not be more pleased with the results. I would recommend your plastic surgery practice without hesitation, and have done so. Thank you so very much for everything."
"Dear Doctor Heil and Staff,
I am so pleased with the results of my breast augmentation and tummy tuck. I wish to thank you and your staff for making me feel so comfortable before, during, and after the procedure. You have helped to increase my self esteem and I wish you continued success in helping other women. I wish you the best with your new venture at Acqua Blu in Upper St. Clair." Doctor Heil, you run a first class, top notch organization. Keep up the great work!
"Dear Dr. Heil,
I want to personally thank you for the wonderful job you did on my Breast Augmentation. You have restored a part of me that I lost a very long time ago. I felt selfish for wanting to do this for myself but now that my children are older, it is wonderful to finally feel good about ME, I am a happier mother and wife because of my surgery. I really appreciate everything you have done for me. Not only are you an extremely talented surgeon but your compassion and degree of concern and well being for your patients are unparallel. Thank you for all of your time with me."
"Dear Doctor Heil and the staff at Premier, after being diagnosed with Breast Cancer in 2003. I was devastated. After the initial shock wore off, I began to research Plastic Surgeons to do same day reconstruction of my breast following my mastectomy. You were one of the kindest, most gentle doctors that I had ever encountered. I could not believe you spend over 1 hour with me, you answered all of my questions and more. Your staff was just as compassionate as you. This was a very difficult time in my life, thank you for helping me through this time; you are all in my prayers." Also, thank you for the wonderful gift of a facial treatment; I really needed to feel pampered."
"Thank you to ALL! This went a lot easier than every expected. You all make a great team. Doctor Heil, you are very professional, caring, and one heck of an incredible surgeon."
"I felt compelled to write a letter of appreciation for the service I received at your plastic surgery and medical spa. Initially, I had a consultation by two different reputable plastic surgeons, I chose Dr.Heil because of the friendly professional attitudes from the coordinator to the surgical nurses. Your staff was more like friends than a medical staff. I am so happy with the way my breast looks in cloths. Also, I have to tell you, your office is exceptionally beautiful; the attention to detail is appreciated. I never felt like I was in a surgeon's office. Thank you for the facial, it was the best treatment I have ever had."
"There are a few words that can express how grateful I am for all that you have done for me. From the consultation, to surgery, and every follow-up visit so far, you've made me feel a way I had not felt in a long time – good about myself."
"I feel I owe you so much. You've lifted my spirits and my self image along with everything else. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Doctor Heil, you are truly an artist. I can't thank you enough."
"After having the good fortune to breast feed two babies, I had almost no breast volume left. For years afterward, I felt self-conscious to be undressed, with my husband. I used push-up bras, but I was uncomfortable and I felt I looked unnatural. These feelings started to control me. After my first consultation with Dr. Heil, I felt confident that breast augmentation with mastopexy would put all of those feelings of having inadequate breasts behind me. I found out that I was not alone and that many women feel strongly about their self-image and have the courage to make changes to feel better about themselves. I can't tell you how it made me feel to look at actual pre and post operative patients' photographs and realize that I was not alone. This really helped me feel comfortable in taking the step to have the surgery. Now having the surgery, I know this was the best decisions I've ever made. I am truly happy with the results, I look naturally beautiful. I have a more confident self image."
"Beautiful facility in Upper St. Clair, knowledgeable and friendly staff. Everything I was looking for. I was very impressed and pleased with the surgeon, facility and staff. Doctor, thank you for making me feel important."
"Doctor Heil, you have a great team. My experience at your office was terrific, friendly and knowledgeable. I love the results of my surgery. Each day I see more and more improvements. You really are a perfectionist."
"When I first started looking for a Plastic Surgeon to perform my facelift, I was extremely picky and very selective. I had very high expectations. I wanted a doctor, staff, and environment with which I felt comfortable and at home. Doctor Heil was one of my three consultations I had before choosing my surgeon. From the moment I walked in, I could not believe how beautiful the office was, I felt like I was not at a medical practice. I was greeted with the warmest and gentle smile by your receptionist. From the time I came in until the time I left from my consultation with you and your coordinator. I felt positive that you were the doctor I trusted enough to perform the surgery that would change my life. This was a big step for me personally and financially."
"I would definitely recommend, as I have already, to anyone considering this surgery to use Doctor Heil because of the genuine way he deals with his patients and exceptional service he and his staff provide each individual. Thanks again for the great results!"
"I just wanted to say how pleased I was with my liposuction, these small changes to my hips and legs really have made a difference for me. You really listened to my desires and I have been so happy with the results. If asked again to do this procedure, I would do it in a heartbeat. I have recommended him to every one I know. He is a very special surgeon who never made me feel like just another patient. I was very impressed with his skill and the experience as a whole. Best wishes, I can't wait to get my laser treatment next week. Thank you again."
"I wanted to thank you for the wonderful job on my liposuction and breast augmentation. Being able to do surgery close to home was very important to me. Your nurses always answered my questions and returned all my phone calls. The call the day before my surgery by Helene, was so comforting and she really spend the time with me. My first impression of you meant a lot, you exceeded my expectations on how great I was going to look."
"I'm only 32, so I never thought of myself as a candidate for cosmetic services, until I heard about some of the services at Acqua Blu Medical Spa. The staff understood that I was not ready for a drastic change, and recommended I speak with a medical esthetician about some skin care products. Your esthetician sat with me for about 45 minutes. I can't believe how knowledgeable she was about my skin and the affect on the skin's growth cycle. She recommended some products, and also gave me a lot of advice on how to care for my skin. The best part was she did not pressure me to buy tons of products like they do at the department stores, and she did not try to up sell me on expensive treatments. I loved it."
