"Amazing technology in even better hands!" That was my reaction after Dr. Fullington repaired an inguinal hernia that had reopened after ~25 years! Dr. Fullington and her staff were very friendly and helpful. She explained and suggested to me the laparoscopic procedure, which worked like a charm! I only took Tylenol and Ibuprofen for a couple of days, the incisions are now barely visible after less than two months, and life is back to normal. I would highly recommend her! Thank you, Dr. Fullington!

Dr. Reinhorn and his staff at Boston Hernia Center were all extremely kind, confident and professional from our first meeting through my inguinal hernia surgery and post-procedure recovery (which went smoothly and as-described).
The process started with an initial meeting to confirm diagnosis and schedule surgery. I had many questions - all of which were answered. Dr. Reinhorn then provided several resources with information about his process and what to expect during and after the procedure.

Dr. Reinhorn did a non mesh inguinal hernia repair 9 weeks ago. I am very please with the outcome of this surgery. I intentionally waited to write this review as I wanted to give my hernia repair some time to heal and evaluate the outcome. I took Tylenol for the first three days to manage my discomfort. My level of discomfort greatly improved after the first week. I had a little discomfort in weeks two and three and by week four I had no discomfort. A non mesh repair is more invasive so one should be prepared for the discomfort period to be a little longer. By week six I started biking slowly and by week seven I was back biking at full speed with no discomfort. I am extremely pleased with the non mesh repair (shouldice) and very thankful to Dr. Reinhorn for his excellent surgical skills.

I had an excellent experience with Dr. Reinhorn. He explained what he was going to do clearly and answered any questions. I had gone to him several years ago to be checked out and he said that I didn't need anything done immediately but to keep an eye on it. The time came and the results were far superior to a previous hernia surgery I had.

I needed bilateral inguinal hernia repair, one of which was a revision of one done 15 years ago which failed almost immediately because the general surgeon used a mesh plug. It progressively got worse, so I sought out a hernia specialist and found Dr. Reinhorn. He repaired both hernias at the same time using just local anesthesia. I live a nearly four hour drive from Boston, yet on the drive home, I was awake, alert, talking and eating. I only needed Tylenol and Motrin for about two days. I am very pleased with the outcome. I highly recommend Boston Hernia!

Dr. Fullington was great! Very professional, explained all my options for my Fast Recovery inguinal hernia repair. The procedure was quick, and I was back out walking 24h later with no pain and back to full exercise in 2 weeks. The procedure was performed at Newton-Wellesley Hospital. I have had three inguinal hernia surgery repairs in the past by general surgeons. This time I decided to find a surgeon who specializes in hernia repair with extensive experience. After doing extensive research and weighing the pros and cons, I decided to have the Fast Recovery Inguinal Hernia Repair with Dr Fullington. Very Happy with the outcome.

I was referred to Dr. Reinhorn and the team by my occ health group. I was able to get in to see him in a timely manner and from the first time I met him and Lauren, I knew I was in good hands. I ended up having multiple hernias but that was not an issue for Dr. Reinhorn, this is his specialty. My surgery was scheduled at NWH, also a 5 star experience. Everyone associated with Dr. Reinhorn is profession, courteous and comforting.

We had an inguinal hernia repair five weeks ago with the Shouldice method. I'll start by saying Dr. Reinhorn is everything you want your surgeon to be: calm, confident, and communicative. In our initial consultation, Dr. Reinhorn's expert knowledge and willingness to answer all our questions stood out. He truly listened and explained the surgical procedure thoroughly, alleviating anxiousness. On the day of surgery, Dr. Reinhorn's confident demeanor provided a sense of calm. His team was well-coordinated and professional, ensuring my son was comfortable and informed at every step. We followed Dr. Reinhorn's post-op plan, and recovery was smooth and quick. The pain was manageable with Advil/Tylenol. We diligently iced, and he had very minor swelling/ bruising. He walked every day post-op, gradually increasing activity. Anyone considering inguinal hernia repair is in expert hands with Dr. Reinhorn. It's rare to find a surgeon who combines a personal touch with renowned surgical skills, but that's exactly who Dr. Reinhorn is. We highly recommend him.

It has been a little over a month since I had a hernia repair surgery performed by Dr. Nora Fullington. I don’t think it could have gone any better! Beforehand, Dr. Fullington explained in detail how the procedure would go and I felt very confident in her calm, kind and knowledgeable manner. The surgery went well. I only needed Ibuprofen and Acetaminophen for two days and by day five I was feeling almost back to normal. I am so grateful for Dr. Fullington, her P.A. Kortney and the surgical staff at Newton Wellesley Hospital and I highly recommend them without hesitation for any hernia problems.

I had Dr Reinhorn perform my inguinal surgery last week. My second with him. The procedure went flawlessly. Hernias are his specialty and he’s excellent at repairing them. His staff is extremely well organized making sure everything goes as planned. I was sore for about a day, taking Tylenol and Ibuprofen, but after that was I moving around without much discomfort at all. He’s very knowledgable, easy to talk to and is an incredibly talented surgeon.

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.

It is always best to pick a doctor that has extensive experience with the specific surgical procedure you are planning to have done. So glad I found Dr Fullington and Boston Hernia. Excellent communication and answered all my questions prior to surgery (they also have a great website with lots of info and an extensive FAQ). Glad that my inguinal hernia repair included posterior mesh placement and only local anesthesia with a sedative. Recovery was relatively quick and I only had to take NSAIDs for a few days. Wonderful care while I was at the Newton-Wellesley Hospital. Thank you Dr Fullington for your excellent work!

There are many excellent surgeons in the Boston metro area, however, Dr. Reinhorn is second-to-none for hernia repairs. I am an anesthesiologist and have worked with hundreds of surgeons over the course of my career. I specifically chose Dr. Reinhorn for his surgical technique, expedited recovery protocol, and ongoing quality improvement endeavors. My experience with him on the 'other side' of the equation, as a patient myself, exceeded all of these expectations. Also, he's a really nice person with an excellent and helpful office staff.

Shouldice Repair
In March of last year, I went to Dr. Reinhorn for a Shouldice no-mesh repair of a left inguinal hernia. Not only did he get the job done, but he got it done in style--during the worst pandemic in American history. I returned to him a month ago for a Shouldice repair on my right side, with similar, excellent results.
His entire team is first-rate, as is Newton-Wellesley Hospital, where he performed the surgeries.

I am just a little over a month out of my hernia operation with Dr. Reinhorn, and I cannot say enough great things about him, the staff at Boston Hernia, as well as the medical staff and anesthesiologist at Newton Wellesley Hospital where I had my double hernia repaired. Dr. Reinhorn is not only a phenomenal and gifted surgeon, he is also a gentleman and is compassionate and empathetic. He took the time to answer all of my questions and reassured me that everything should be straightforward. I talked to many friends who had hernia operations at other hospitals with other surgeons, and they all warned me that I would need “at least a week off” from work afterwards and that I would be in excruciating pain. Dr. Reinhard told me that he performs hernia operations in a slightly different way that minimizes the discomfort afterwards- and he was 100% correct! I was actually ready to go back to work the next day, but I took it easy for the next few days anyway since I had already planned on taking the time off. But I had virtually no pain or discomfort at all. Everything has healed beautifully, and Dr. Reinhorn and followed up with me to be sure everything went well. I then went back to all of my other friends and told them that if they ever need another hernia surgery they should drop where they went to previously and go to Dr. Reinhorn instead. Cannot believe I am saying this about a surgery: But it was actually a wonderful experience. From Google

I am a physician who lives in Florida. I have had previous laparoscopic hernia repair on the other side which was performed by a colleague of mine who is a general surgeon. That surgery went well and I had no post-operative problems. This time around I decided to find a surgeon who specializes in hernia repair with extensive experience, much more than most local general surgeons. After doing extensive research and weighing the pros and cons, I decided to have the Fast Recovery Inguinal Hernia Repair which is performed by Dr. Reinhorn. In particular, I felt that surgery without the need for general anesthesia, the ability to place mesh behind the abdominal wall, the unlikely need for post-op opioid pain medication, and shorter recovery time were strong reasons to choose this surgery. I am so glad that I chose Dr. Reinhorn and his team! I can't say enough about the level of professionalism, skill and care. I highly recommend Dr. Reinhorn and his team. You will not be disappointed!

After a difficult month of barely being able to eat, I came to Dr. Fullington's office in an anxious state but was immediately put at ease by her staff and then by the doctor's warm and sincere approach. She was not only concerned about relieving me of my discomfort but knew I was due to have a family vacation to celebrate my 50th wedding anniversary. She arranged to perform the surgery two days after my consultation, to give me enough time to recover for my trip. Her surgical work was meticulous, as I now have small, neat incisions, and I am back to feeling like myself and eating without incident. Most of all, when I needed to return to Newton-Wellesley Hospital for an unrelated issue, she and her assistant sought me out in the ER to check on me. I could not have asked for better treatment and would recommend Dr. Fullington to anyone seeking a skilled, compassionate, and overall delightful surgeon.

It has been about six weeks since my surgery. I waited for over three years to address the hernia simply because I dreaded the surgery and read about too many issues resulting from it. As a result my hernia became very large and more painful. Luckily, I researched and discovered Dr. Reinhorn and his hernia practice that specializes in hernia repair. He was reasuring, kind and I felt in very good hands because he is so well qualified. I went through a day surgery at the surgery center. Everyone was respectful and caring. My fears were quickly allayed once I was there and felt in such competent care with the whole team. Dr. Reinhorn explained that day how the surgery would go and what to expect after surgery including any swelling or pain so that I wouldn’t freak out. The first week I only needed Advil/Tylenol for the pain. Dr. Reinhorn and his assistant did a fantastic job, the scar was minimal, and now it is barely noticeable, and after two weeks the swelling went down and I felt almost back to normal. Now I am back working out, weight lifting and running, and my abdomen looks like it did before the hernia. There is only a little tenderness which is slowly getting better. I only wish I had done this procedure three years ago as it would have saved me so much anxiety, pain, and depression. Dr. Reinhorn and his team are the best and I am so grateful to them for my great care and results!

Dr Reinhorn performed the surgery at Newton Wellesley Hospital and everything was first class. All the personnel and medical staff were professional and efficient. There was never any "down time" and the entire process was run like a well-drilled team. I checked in at 7:00am and was out by 12:30pm. Prior to the surgery Dr. Reinhorn came by to speak to me and my wife and explained exactly what he was going to do. He answered all our questions and the bilateral hernia surgery was completed without anything unexpected. There was no grogginess or pain. I only took acetaminophen and ibuprofen and was out walking the next day. A very positive experience!

I am now fully recovered, per my post-op visit, when I was cleared to resume my normal activities. I am so pleased that I found Dr. Fullington. You can look no further for an outstanding hernia surgeon. My heartfelt thanks to her, and to her assistant, Kortney. They are wonderful. My thanks, too, to the surgical team at Newton-Wellesley Hospital. They were remarkable.

Dr. Fullington is *the* surgeon to fix your hernia. She is very talented and personable. She did perfect work on me and my recovery has been rapid and pain free. I give her tops marks all around.

Dr Reinhorn and the entire staff at Boston Hernia Center were great. Dr Reinhorn has exceptional experience, skill and results - a significant differentiator in the physician selection process. The entire team continuously demonstrated a high degree of professionalism throughout every phase: pre-surgery; surgery; and post-surgery. I feel very fortunate to have had such and impressive doctor and competent medical team.

Dr Reinhorn and Lauren were great performing my hernia surgery. No one wants surgery but they get an A+. The surgery was done at Boston Out-Patient Surgical Suites. Much better than a hospital. From start to finish it was an excellent experience.

Dr. Reinhorn is an incredibly skilled surgeon. He repaired my femoral hernia. The results from surgery were immediate. I had little to no recovery pain and felt completely back to normal within one week. Most importantly, my quality of life has improved significantly since surgery. No more discomfort and pain from my hernia, which means I can sleep through the night. I feel a lot stronger physically and feel like this surgery has changed my life. I would highly recommend Dr Reinhorn.

I had a wonderful experience from the day I met Dr. Fullington in her office. She is kind, patient, empathetic and listens to your concerns and needs. I had thoroughly read the website, which helped with our conversation. The website is extremely detailed. I had a very bad experience in my late teens, so I was extra nervous. Dr. Fullington created a plan and my surgery went very well and the recovery was really a breeze. I did this without any pain medication. I had a scar from a c-section and as I noticed myself heal and the bruising go away, I noticed that Dr. Fullington aligned the scar with my c-section, so that I did not have an additional scar. I found this to be so thoughtful. If you need a hernia repair, Dr. Fulington is the doctor to see. I was a little nervous waiting to go into the OR and Dr. Fullington came and talked to me for a bit before we went in. I have no recollection of anything and I am completely healed without pain. The interesting part is I had a lot of pain before the surgery, so once I had the surgery even though I was healing from that, it was still less pain then before I had it. I hope this review helps other patients. I should add that the practice is very easy to work with and the communication is excellent.

Dr. Reinhorn was great from my first consult right through to my post op follow up appointment. All of his support staff were great too.
He has a good bedside manner but more importantly gave me a feeling of great confidence in his ability to take care of me.
I came from Upstate New York and it was definitely worth the drive to have someone with his experience doing the surgery.

Very attentive to all questions and genuinely concerned about health and feelings of her patient. Seems to be completely focused on each patients individual needs so that they have a surgery designed specifically for them. Dr Fullington seemed to be ready for all possibilities to make sure that the operation went well and that the recovery was great and quick. Thank you to Dr Fullington and the staff of Boston Hernia.

Dr. Fullington's practice utilizes the two best hernia repair techniques available at present (October 2021), which you can confirm for yourself with some internet research. Fullington and her staff are kind, caring, and competent. As with any other human endeavor, "practice makes perfect": they have done thousands of hernia repairs, so it is no surprise that my repair went well. At every stage of the process -- pre-op, op, post-op -- what happened to me is exactly what they predicted would happen. Highest marks.

I have actually had two (unrelated) hernia repairs performed at Boston Hernia, the first by Dr. Reinhorn and most recently by Dr. Fullington, and both were outstanding. Dr. Fullington performed a very thorough examination and discussed the recommended procedure for me with detail and care. Although it turned out my hernia was large, my recovery was quick and I needed no opioids. I had one follow up question and the staff put me in touch with Dr. Fullington right away, and she answered my question completely. I really hope I don't have a third occasion to see Dr. Reinhorn or Dr. Fullington (!), but if I need to I will not hesitate to return to the caring and extremely professional doctors and staff at Boston Hernia.

Dr. Fullington was excellent. Appointments were not rushed and she addressed my concerns thoroughly. Surgery went great and recovery has been a breeze. Very satisfied with the over all care. Support staff was also very helpful and kind.
