Recently, on his website, and later at Newton-Wellesley Hospital, I experienced Dr. Michael Reinhorn’s profound analytical expertise and outstanding surgical skill. An “inguinal” hernia, which I once briefly experienced, but which had subsided, and become dormant and painless for over 5 years, suddenly enlarged and produced complete constipation for several days. At Newton-Wellesley Hospital, I was extremely and pleasantly surprised how quickly I recovered, and how well I felt. Just 10 minutes after his surgery, I was already able to walk – without any assistance ! A half-hour later, I left the hospital feeling really well. It was an absolutely amazing experience. Dr. Reinhorn is not only a highly skilled surgeon – he also personally & truly cared about me as his patient. He has changed my daily life, and my lifetime fear of surgery. I am forever grateful for this gift !
