Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

I had a double mastectomy with reconstructive surgery and they were not pretty; too low and no cleavage. I ended with a massive infection in the left breast, after 3 weeks of antibiotics the incision opened and the implant was visible and almost fell out on Thanksgiving evening; Dr. Heinz called me back after I ended up in Urgent Care and told me to come in on Monday. Implant removed, after 3 months received another implant. The new left implant was placed better than the original right side, because the right side was too low, 2 more surgeries to fix the right side never worked. I received lop sided breasts that look terrible and a bill.

Do not take a chance with this doctor!! Horrific experience! I am still traumatized by his errors while I tried to avoid cancer and had to remove my breasts! It necessitated five surgeries that never solved anything and the original breast surgeon that gave me a double mastectomy had to remove the implant because Dr. Heinz and his staff couldn’t tell that the implant was appearing out of my skin! He left for vacation the day of my surgery and was not back in the office consistently until a month later creating no postop care to correct the problem he created. His staff was angry and defensive when I asked for any assistance as I then continued chronic wound care with photographs that other plastic surgeons are shocked at due to what he has done to me. I’m surprised he is still in business. I was butchered and now someone else has to try to fix his mess!!

I had a fat transplant to the buttocks area. Unfortunately the injections were placed too high in the buttocks region that the fat cells transferred back to the abdomen. The extra fat transferred to the v-line part of the abdomen. It looks like I have an extra layer of fat underneath the stomach. He did nothing to remedy this! Plus the v-line feels bumpy!

Wow! What can I say? Dr. Heinz is amazing, and a super nice guy too. He helped me achieve results beyond my expectations. I highly recommend him. Dr. Heinz was patient with me and my questions, fully explaining what I should expect with treatment and results. I never felt rushed, always seemed like I was his ONLY patient! I would not hesitate to recommend Dr. Heinz to family and friends.
