Finally, Dr. Heil operates a state of the art surgical center, accredited by the American Association for Accreditation of Ambulatory Surgical Facilities (AAAASF). Many of his Pittsburgh gynecomastia patients consider this a distinct advantage, as an accredited, surgeon-owned facility is preferable to an offsite outpatient facility.
