THE PITTSBURGH INSTITUTE OF PLASTIC SURGERY (PIPS) is located in the East Side area of Pittsburgh, where the East Liberty and Shadyside areas of Pittsburgh meet. Recently, the East Side area of Pittsburgh has been the focus of considerable retail and related development and is now home to a number of upscale businesses. Additionally, our neighborhood is home to a number of talented artists, galleries, antique shops and the like. Neighboring areas include Highland Park, home to the Pittsburgh Zoo and PPG Aquarium; Shadyside, known for beautiful homes, diverse shops and popular restaurants; Bloomfield, known as "Pittsburgh’s Little Italy" (and also home to popular restaurants); and Oakland, home to Pittsburgh’s finest and best known educational and cultural institutions. THE PITTSBURGH INSTITUTE OF PLASTIC SURGERY (PIPS) occupies the middle suite of a 1½ story yellow brick building at 5989 Penn Circle South. Our co-tenants are Big Brothers/Big Sisters of Greater Pittsburgh, a non-profit which, as its name suggests, provides mentors to compromised children, and Ross Development Company, a successful developer of both commercial and residential real estate in Pittsburgh and elsewhere. The entrance to our parking lot sits directly opposite Borders Book Store, one of many diverse tenants (another one of which is Pittsburgh’s only Whole Foods Supermarket) of "Eastside", a new retail development which occupies several blocks of Penn Circle South. If you are not familiar with our neck of the woods and are inclined to "explore", feel free to call upon us for guidance in that regard. Finally, remember that you can reach us at 412-345-7477 or 1-800-321-7477 at all times, should you require help with directions or whatever. We look forward to seeing you.
