I had an upcoming surgery where I needed major hair removal done prior and was referred to by my laser technician to the Spiegel Center for extended electrolysis sessions and having this option was a lifesaver for keeping my surgery date. Dr. Spiegel's staff is fantastic, they are all extremely professional, thoughtful and very attentive to making sure you get proper care and post electrolysis treatment. Everyone was aligned with helping me to give their professional guidance on how best to meet my surgery date and what the steps were to get there. Would definitely recommend to anyone needing high quality electrolysis care, especially in a short window of time.

I am so happy and it's not even 24 hours yet.

I had Botox and filler with Dr Onir. I wasn't ready for a full facelift and hoped I could find something that could tide me over.Ive never had anything done to my face and I was nervous. I know Onir is one of the preeminent injectors for the Boston area so I went to see her. I am so happy and it's not even 24 hours yet. I just know as time goes on and it all settles in...

I know Onir is one of the preeminent injectors for the Boston area so I went to see her. I am so happy and it's not even 24 hours yet. I just know as time goes on and it all settles in it's just going to look even better! It was not nearly as scary or painful as I expected. If you are in the fence just do it! I was worried I'd look all crazy but NOPE I look like I went to sleep for 5 years and woke up refreshed..just what I always hoped for.

I had a wonderful experience with my rhinoplasty and I’m extremely happy with the result. From the very beginning, the entire team made me feel calm, comfortable, and supported. The staff is knowledgeable, friendly, and professional, and every step of the process felt well organized.

Dr. Spiegel was fantastic — very experienced, honest, and realistic about what was possible in my specific case. I really appreciated that he explained everything clearly and set the right expectations from the start. His calm, supportive, and confident manner made me feel safe throughout the whole experience.

I also want to especially mention Uzma, the coordinator, who was incredibly kind, helpful, and supportive. She made the whole process much easier and always made me feel cared for.

In my case, I had a crooked bridge, and the procedure was not only about improving the appearance of my nose but also about helping me breathe better. I’m so grateful that both concerns were addressed. The result is beautiful, natural, and balanced, and I can breathe so much better now.

I’m truly grateful for the care, professionalism, and amazing work. I highly recommend Dr. Spiegel and his team to anyone considering rhinoplasty.

Where do I begin? I've been wanting to refresh my look for the past 5 years. The moment I walked into this state-of-the-art facility, I felt welcomed. Dr. Tower's skill, expertise, and genuine concern for patients gave me complete confidence throughout my treatment. He answered all my questions and reassured me that his techniques would deliver the results I was looking for. After reading over 100+ positive reviews about Dr. Tower, it was clear he was the doctor to revitalize my face. He listens, he's genuine, and he sets realistic expectations. I had multiple procedures done all at once. Deep Plane Facelift, upper and lower bleph, necklift, lateral eyebrow lift. And more. So this was a big day for all involved. The nurses and anesthesiologist were fantastic; they get a lot of credit for the support of Dr. Tower. But the best of the best is Cristina, my care coordinator; she made all of this a Fantastic Experience! Thank you, Dr. Tower, for your expertise, and thank you, Cristina, for being you!

This man gave me hope

Dr Towers is the man! I tried everything and started slowly give up but this man gave me hope things can get better. Was such a fun experience.

I found them kind and very honest.

I found them kind and very honest. They did not try to sell me on their products and services and encouraged the skin routine I have. I am very interested in the laser he mentioned, and they encouraged taking time to research that and my decision.

This was undoubtedly one of the most pleasant and seamless experiences I've ever had as a new patient anywhere. Dr. Towers and staff were very helpful and friendly. The one person that definitely made this process the easiest though, from the beginning (deciding where to go) to the finish, was Katie at the front desk. She was not only very helpful from my first ever call, but also very polite and informative every single time. Her being able to answer all my questions and go the extra mile to assist every time I had any concerns through the whole process is what made me choose The Spiegal Center. She is unquestionably a key asset to your team's success.

Dr. Tower was very collaborative and thoughtful.

I found Dr. Tower through RealSelf which helped me find a provider in Boston with otoplasty reviews. I was hoping to find someone who had explicit experience in dozens of otoplasties a year, so was using surgery review counts here as a proxy. So, I wanted to contribute back!

Carole at the Spiegel Center was my coordinator and she was great in walking me through the process. I had a virtual consult with Dr. Tower first, an in-person consult, and then they were able to fit me in within a week or so for surgery before having to travel abroad.

The procedure was done with local anesthesia and took an hour or two. Dr. Tower was very collaborative and thoughtful. After several weeks of healing, we decided to make a small tweak (a personal preference), which Dr. Tower was very flexible and accomodating of. I can't stress enough how collaborative the experience was - we worked as a team to get the best outcome! He did an incredible job and my ears look really great.

Would 100% recommend to anyone who is looking for a thoughtful and collaborative otoplasty provider in Boston who genuinly cares about both achieving a great aesthetic outcome and one you're fully happy with!

I would highly recommend Spiegel Center to anyone looking for world class expertise

After working with both Dr. Jeffrey Spiegel and Dr. Onir Spiegel over a variety of treatments and services, I can confidently say the experience has been exceptional from start to finish. What stands out most is not just the technical expertise, although both doctors are clearly operating at the highest level, but the thoughtfulness, precision, and professionalism of the entire practice.

Dr. Jeffrey Spiegel brings an incredible depth of experience and aesthetic judgment, while Dr. Onir Spiegel combines modern technique, intelligence, and a highly attentive approach. At no point did I ever feel rushed, pressured, or treated like just another patient. Every recommendation felt individualized, strategic, and carefully considered.

Equally impressive is the staff. Cristina, Katie, and the entire team create an environment that is warm, responsive, organized, and genuinely supportive throughout the process. Communication has been outstanding, follow up has been consistent, and the level of patient care is far beyond what I have experienced elsewhere.

This practice understands something many places do not. Great aesthetic work is not just about procedures. It is about trust, judgment, artistry, and long term relationships. Their attention to detail and commitment to natural, high quality outcomes is obvious.

I would highly recommend Spiegel Center to anyone looking for world class expertise paired with professionalism, integrity, and an exceptional patient experience.

I was 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, warning that my nose would widen significantly and look very different. I was willing to accept that because I just wanted to breathe again, and my hearing had also begun to lessen, making me wonder if everything was connected. Still, 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, and I booked surgery on the spot. Three weeks ago today, he performed it. I remember waking up and, for the first time in years, breathing fully through my nose — effortlessly, quietly, completely. There were no overwhelming nasal packings, no dramatic bruising, 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, and one moment I’ll never forget was hearing my cat meowing from the garage while I was upstairs. I hadn’t realized how much I’d been missing until that instant. So many times she had followed me into the garage and cried to come out, and I simply hadn’t heard her. Unaware. 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 that 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.

Dr. Spiegel is truly the best face surgeon in the world. He's got 26 years of experience and it shows all over my face! I had facial feminization surgery with extensive bone work (jaw to chin, brow, rhino) and soft tissue procedures (upper and lower bleph, cheek and lip fat transfer, hairline) all at once. Uzma was my care coordinator and handled everything so that my entire surgery was covered by my insurance (Harvard Pilgrim). Once I gave them my letters of support Uzma got me a date in only 3 months! The operation could not have been handled with more support. I'm ngl about recovery, that first night was awful but for nothing to do with Dr. Spiegel; it just IS ROUGH! But by day 3 I was back to work and after a week I felt great.
