THE NOSE KNOWS I…read morewas facing something that had quietly become overwhelming. My nose had collapsed to the point where breathing through it was nearly impossible. Nights were restless. My ear felt constantly blocked. And the solutions I was being offered felt... drastic. One highly regarded local surgeon told me my case was so extreme that cartilage would need to be taken from my ear to rebuild my nose. He warned my nose would widen significantly and look very different. I was willing to accept that. I just wanted to breathe again. And also my hearing was lessening. I wanted to be able to hear again thinking maybe that they were related. But something in me hesitated. Then I remembered Dr. Jacob Tower. Years earlier, I had met him when he was at Lahey Clinic. A deeply respected ear, nose, and throat specialist with extraordinary skill in facial aesthetics. I reached out, and he responded immediately. From our very first conversation, everything changed. Dr. Tower didn't just see a "difficult case." He saw a better path. He explained clearly, thoughtfully, and with remarkable depth, what was actually happening, and how he could restore not just structure, but function... and quality of life. He invited me to come see him right away at The Spiegel Center. What he offered was simpler. Smarter. And far more elegant. I booked surgery on the spot. Three weeks ago today, he performed it. I remember waking up. For the first time in years, breathing fully through my nose. Effortlessly. Quietly. Completely. There were no overwhelming nasal packings, no dramatic bruising. Quite nothing like I had been warned to expect. Even more surprising... everything started to come back to life. The pressure in my ear disappeared. My hearing sharpened. One moment I'll never forget! I heard my cat meowing from the garage while I was upstairs. I hadn't realized how much I'd been missing until that instant. I ran downstairs, ready to free the cat in the garage so many times as she would follow me in and I didn't hear her cry to come out. Unaware and muted. Yes, my nose shape changed slightly. It had to. But in the hands of Dr. Tower who is not only a surgeon but truly an artist, the result is natural, balanced, and thoughtful. Not "different" in a way that takes from you, but refined in a way that gives something back. And that's what he does. He gives people their lives back...in ways they didn't even realize they had lost. At just three weeks out, I can say without hesitation: this changed my life. My deepest respect and gratitude to Dr. Jacob Tower and his exceptional team at The Spiegel Center. I've been around aesthetics long enough to recognize true excellence when I see it. And this is it. I cannot recommend him highly enough!!

I have worked with Dr. Spiegel since 2010, and I do not have enough great things to say. Their team…read morehas literally made my life and career possible as a trans woman. I'm 48 now, and I've never felt better about myself. The before and after pictures of my jaw, particularly are stunning.

They've never treated me with anything but respect, and I see them as a true partner in achieving my surgical goals.

I went in for a tummy tuck revision and breast reconstruction after an infection from prior surgery…read moredisfigured my breast. He did an ok job on my breasts, though his heavy-handed and uneven sutures have left garish scars, and he failed to do the procedure as we had discussed. My biggest concern is the botch job he did of the tummy tuck scar revision. He destroyed my abdomen aesthetically and functionally, and when I spoke to him about it he assured me it would settle and improve. Years later, the problems and appearance have worsened. Instead of correcting the scar, he instead removed most of my belly below the scar and pulled my pubis up about three inches so that it now resides where my belly should be. In order to do this he had to stretch my perineum which has caused other embarrassing issues that have made my day to day life and exercising uncomfortable. I called for my complete records but after five or six requests, failed to provide everything and he did not want to send before photos, and for good reason. When I requested an appointment to discuss ongoing issues, which did not settle with time, he refused to see me because I "disparaged his work." More likely he doesn't want his new staff to see the mess he made of my once lovely abdomen that 1) no doctor should have touched 2) he made worse and did not improve as he promised. He also did a hack job on one of my eyelids which pops open and makes me look monstrous if I am not constantly aware of my facial expressions. I think Dr. Bartlett has a great bedside manner, but if you criticize him he gets nasty and retaliatory. I also question his fine motor skills, because some of his stitches look like a third-grader did them and the scarring does not go away. I short, I now have pubic hairs and what was once between my legs, where my belly should be. I think Dr. Bartlett hates women. Way to go, Dr. Bartlett. He should admit and address his error, and he should pay for a flap to relieve the unbearable tightness.

As an older woman venturing…read moreback into plastic surgery, I was naturally nervous, but Dr. Doherty's calm, compassionate approach immediately put me at ease. His bedside manner is truly exceptional; I felt cared for, listened to, and respected every step of the way. The results exceeded my expectations -- natural, tasteful, and precisely what I hoped for. Dr. Doherty combines incredible skill with a genuine concern for his patients' well-being and confidence. I felt like I was in the best possible hands throughout the entire process. If you're considering plastic surgery later in life, I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Doherty. He understands how to help you look and feel your best at any age -- with grace, empathy, and outstanding professionalism.

Being Irish and with a family history of skin cancer, it seems like I constantly have to have moles removed for one reason or another-- sometimes cosmetic. Anyone else who has removed a mole from my body has left a massive scar. But Rick removes one and it's as if it never existed. It is why I travel four hours to see him. Not to mention he's a wonderful and kind man as well. And his office staff is lovely -- especially Antigoni. Highly recommend the entire office for whatever your needs may be.

My own mother thought I looked "incredibly rested" and didn't know I had extensive surgery just a few weeks prior to seeing her! After having my upper eye lids lifted more than once, there is no scar and I do not look altered. What separates him from others is that patients look natural, and not as though they had work done. His staff is fabulous, and the fact they are longstanding speaks to his overall commitment to his craft and business. I cannot praise him and his staff enough!

Back in 2018, I had my initial consultation with Dr. Volpe at New England Plastic Surgical &…read moreAesthetics, and I can confidently say that choosing this practice was one of the best decisions I've ever made. From the very beginning, Marcella, the office manager, was absolutely incredible. She helped me book my consultation, answered every one of my questions with care and patience, and made me feel like I was already in great hands before I even walked through the door. When I met Dr. Volpe, I knew immediately that I was in the presence of a true professional. I was there for an abdominoplasty and breast implants--I had a lot of loose skin and was feeling extremely insecure about my body. Dr. Volpe didn't just treat me like another patient; he listened to my story, understood my emotional journey, and took the time to walk me through every step of the process. He answered all of my questions (I had a whole list!), and made sure I felt informed, confident, and supported the entire way through. His expertise, knowledge, and compassion were beyond anything I could have hoped for. My results? Phenomenal. Better than I ever imagined. Dr. Volpe didn't just meet my expectations--he far exceeded them. I would do it all over again in a heartbeat, and I remain incredibly grateful for everything he has done and continues to do. Will be going back for bigger implants before he retires! Marcella continued to be a rock for me after my surgery--she helped me schedule every follow-up appointment and even called me after surgery just to check in and make sure I was doing okay. That level of care is rare and something I will never forget. To this day, I still look forward to seeing her every time I come in. She truly cares. Fast forward seven years, and I'm still a loyal patient. Their practice has expanded to include aesthetics, and I now see Stephanie regularly for lip fillers and Dysport. Before coming to her, I had gone to another provider, but from the moment I met Stephanie, I knew she was different. She took the time to understand my previous treatment history and made it a priority to get to know me and my body. Even though I wanted to go big with my lips, she approached it with caution and care, making sure it was done the right and safe way. She didn't just inject--she educated, assessed, and truly partnered with me in my aesthetic goals. Stephanie is not only incredibly skilled, but also warm, personable, and so easy to talk to. We always laugh and have the best conversations during my visits. I love seeing her! She's also constantly learning and continuing her education alongside Dr. Volpe, which speaks volumes about her commitment to excellence and her patients. Most recently, I had my first facial at their office with Antigoni--and she is an absolute gem! The sweetest and most caring person, Antigoni is clearly highly skilled in skincare. She explained everything she was doing during the facial and, even more importantly, explained why she was doing it and how each step would benefit my skin. It was more than a facial--it was an educational experience. I left not only glowing, but with most of the products she used because I was so impressed with her knowledge and recommendations! The entire team at New England Plastic Surgical & Aesthetics feels like one big, supportive family. They're professional, compassionate, and truly passionate about what they do. I recommend them without hesitation to anyone considering plastic surgery or aesthetic treatments. They've changed my life--and continue to help me feel my absolute best.

No one can detect the scar even after I point it out. About a year later, I had Moh's surgery again for a area on my nose. This time I needed a graft (gulp).
