Testimonials for Kortney
Dr. Nora Fullington is Amazing. I had an Umbilical hernia. I first met Kortney Hodgson PA-C. She assessed the hernia. She was very professional and helpful. Then I met Dr. Nora. She explained everything completely. She has a very soothing voice. I have a big fear of needles and medical stuff. The surgery was successful! No pain. I used Tylenol, and Advil afterwards. I kept ice on it for two days.
My bellybutton looks like it did when I was younger.
On my post opp. appointment I met Lauren Ott PA-C. She checked it all out. Thumbs up! She said “I hope we never see you again”. I felt really good about myself after leaving the office.
If anyone is on the fence about electing to have Hernia surgery, please do it. It was an excellent decision choosing Boston Hernia.

Dr. Nora Fullington and Kortney Elizabeth Hodgson, PA-C were both incredibly helpful, informative and professional throughout the entire process. They went out of their way to accomodate my requests and answer any questions.
I had minimal pain after surgery, followed their post-op directions and after the 2-week recovery period, felt back to normal.
Overall if you’re looking for a place to go, look no further. I would highly recommend this team.
