My experience with Dr. Reinhorn and his team was exceptional, I highly recommend them! When I found out I had an inguinal hernia my PCP referred me to a general surgeon in the same group practice. I did not get a good vibe and researched the topic. My research led me to Boston Hernia and the team of Dr. Michael Reinhorn and PA Lauren Ott. There were well over 100 5-star testimonial reviews vs. less than 10 mediocre reviews where I had been referred. The fast recovery open procedure that was available as the recommended option intrigued me. I read the reviews and scientific studies, as well as listened to the common-sense videos available on the website. I became convinced that I wanted to entrust myself to a surgical team that does around 500 procedures a year vs. a general surgeon that does far fewer using a laparoscopic approach with general anesthesia. I am writing this review five weeks post-surgery and I have been back to normal activities, including the gym for the past three weeks. The procedure went very well – I was out of the hospital in 3 hours. Tylenol and Motrin was all that I needed for a few days for mild pain. I started walking as recommended and within a week increased to 10,000 steps a day as part of my recovery. Five weeks post-surgery I have no pain and barely a scar from the procedure. If there is any negative aspect to report, it is that Dr. Reinhorn no longer accepts Medicare; however, this was explained in detail when I made my initial appointment. I understand the reasoning and chose to move forward – and I am very happy that I did.
