"I just wanted to thank you for giving me those "ripped abs" I've been working so hard at the gym for. I just couldn't get that last bit worked off and with the ab etching liposuction you did (coupled with my hard workouts and disciplined diet) I was able to achieve what I didn't think possible."
"Thank you for making my surgery such a smooth experience. I am delighted with result. Please convey my appreciation to Dr. Kunkle, your anesthesiologist. I had 4 surgeries in the past and always had some nausea. My anesthesia experience with your office was the best ever."
"My son was suffering from gynecomastia for 5 years. He was constantly teased by his classmates about his breasts. We could not imagine how bad it was. We even had to change schools because of that. Dr. Heil* thank you for understanding our son’s problem right away. We spent over an hour in your office talking about surgery. It has been 3 months after his surgery and it is going great. Thanks a lot for all confidence you have given our son."
"I wanted a doctor who would listen to me and answer all of my questions and I had a lot of questions. I needed the best and found Dr. Heil*. The results of my facelift gave me a natural youthful appearance without having an "operated" look."
"It has been only 3 weeks since my eyelid surgery and I have been sharing the whole experience with all of my co-workers. People are constantly coming by my cubicle because the results are so amazing. I am very pleased with the results and have been having fun sharing my story.
"As you know, the decision to elect cosmetic surgery was a difficult one for me from the beginning. I worried about the perceived vanity issues, the financial aspect, the surgery itself and the possibility that the results would not be significant enough to justify the investment of time, money and physical discomfort. The consultations I'd had with several other surgeons had done nothing to lessen my apprehension and I was beginning to reconsider my decision. When I met with you, I was feeling more confident but it still took me several weeks to decide to schedule my surgery. I am thankful I did. Now, several weeks later, my results are wonderful. My stomach looks like it did before I had my babies. Thank you for all you have done."
"A little card like this doesn't seem like enough but I just wanted to thank you all for your extreme compassion throughout my entire surgery process. This was such a big decision to make. But you and your staff have been so generous and thoughtful, working through the difficulty of me living so far away. Finding your "home-like" practice was such a blessing, allowing me such comfort, privacy and security.
"You have done a fantastic job on my face, neck and abdomen. Words can't express my thanks for having the intuition, skill and caring to give me exactly the results that I dreamed of.
"I have not healed yet but already I feel completely changed! The breast reduction has made me feel a new confidence and my shoulders feel very light.... like a weight has been lifted.
"Believe it or not I am writing to you from West Palm Beach. This is the first time my stomach has seen the sun in over 10 years. When my gynecologist sent me to your office, he told me you were the best with tummy tucks. When you told me that I would be able to wear a bikini, I thought you were kidding. Now I am a 35-year-old "sexy mama" with a flat stomach and I am wearing a beautiful bikini. All thanks to you. Show this picture to your other patients. They need to know that you are the best."
"I wanted to take a minute to thank you and your staff for the wonderful treatment that I received before, during and after my liposuction procedure. Everyone there was very helpful and Sarah and Dana in particular were extremely attentive to my needs. Dr. Kunkle and nurse Helene and others on your operating room staff made sure that my recovery went smoothly. I am so happy with the outcome of my surgery. I couldn't have asked for anything more. You are an extremely talented surgeon. Thank you for all for your passion and compassion."
"I was nervous to try Botox. At my age, my lines and wrinkles are still quite fine so I was unsure that Botox would make a difference in my appearance. But, I am so glad I tried it. The needle was tiny and the whole process only took about 15 minutes. Within a few days, my forehead felt tighter, and the fine lines I had developed were dramatically minimized. My eyebrows also appeared raised and more arched. My friends and family have commented that I look more rested and refreshed. I will definitely continue my treatments with Premier Plastic Surgery. The results far exceeded my expectations."

"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."
"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 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 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!"
"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."
"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.”
"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.”
"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.” 
"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.”
"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 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."
"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."
"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.” 
"Dear Dr. Heil, 
"Dear Doctor Heil and Staff,
"Dear Dr. Heil, 
"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!"
"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.”
"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.” 
"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.”
"Dear Dr Heil and Staff,
"Dear Dr. Heil,
"Dr. Heil,
"I’ve been meaning to write and thank-you for your excellent care for some time.
"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.”
"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 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.”
"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!”
