I had such a wonderful experience at Dr. Spiegel’s office in Newton! I’ve now had microneedling treatments twice, and both experiences were fantastic. From the moment you walk in, the entire staff is incredibly friendly, welcoming, and professional. You can immediately tell that everyone here is truly an expert at what they do. Dr. Onir is absolutely incredible. I adore her! Her knowledge, attention to detail, and expertise in skincare and aesthetic treatments are unmatched. She took the time to make sure I was comfortable, explained the microneedling process, and made the entire experience feel easy and personalized. I’ve been so happy with my results. The office itself is also beautiful - modern, relaxing, and designed in a way that immediately puts you at ease. If you’re looking for microneedling in Newton, MA, or a trusted practice for skin rejuvenation and aesthetic treatments in the Greater Boston area, I highly recommend Dr. Spiegel’s office and especially Dr. Onir. I wouldn’t hesitate to come back for future treatments!

I had an excellent experience with Dr. Jeffrey Spiegel and the entire team at the Spiegel Center. I initially chose Dr. Spiegel after researching rhinoplasty surgeons in the region and was particularly impressed by his experience with complex revision cases and structural nasal issues. After meeting with him, I felt confident that he understood both the functional and cosmetic aspects of what I was looking to accomplish. My case involved significant structural and cartilage issues that were affecting my breathing, and I ultimately underwent a septal extension graft and columellar strut graft as part of my revision. The consultation process was excellent. Christina, my Patient Care Coordinator, was incredibly helpful and responsive throughout the process. It actually took me about a year to finally move forward with surgery, and I never felt pressured during that time. Dr. Spiegel was consistently professional, patient, and willing to take the time to answer my questions. The surgical experience itself was also excellent. The nurses who cared for me before surgery were wonderful and did a great job keeping me comfortable and helping with my anxiety. I was also very impressed with the postoperative medication plan. I experienced essentially no pain after surgery, with the main inconvenience being a stuffy nose for about a week. The biggest improvement for me has been my breathing. I can honestly say that I breathe better now than I ever have, which is an incredible result after dealing with significant structural problems. From an aesthetic standpoint, I’m also very happy with the result. I brought Dr. Spiegel some inspiration photos, and I think he did an excellent job achieving the overall look I was hoping for while keeping the result appropriate for my own anatomy. I understand that I’m still early in the healing process and that the appearance will continue to refine as the swelling subsides, but even at this stage I’m extremely pleased with the direction of the result. As a medical professional myself, I also pay close attention to the technical quality of medical care. I was particularly impressed by Dr. Spiegel’s surgical technique and attention to detail. The suturing around my columella is some of the best work I’ve ever seen. The incision is remarkably difficult to see, even though I know exactly where to look. Having already gone through a previous procedure that ultimately required revision, I understand how significant it is to put your trust in a surgeon for something like this. After my experience with Dr. Spiegel, I feel confident that I finally have a result that addresses the underlying structural problems and that I won’t have to go through this process again. I would absolutely recommend Dr. Spiegel to anyone dealing with moderate to significant structural or functional nasal issues, particularly someone who also wants a natural and carefully considered cosmetic result. I’m extremely grateful to Dr. Spiegel, Christina, the nurses, and the entire Spiegel Center team for the care they provided.

I did the FaceTite 3 months ago. It was a nice experience. I did an hour communication with Dr.Spiegel before the surgery. He is patient enough to listen to my confusion and make a elaborate planning. His confidence made me relax during the surgery. Uzma is also helps me a lot to solve me questions, her answer speed is so fast like always online.

I came to Dr. Spiegel back in August for FaceTite embrace, there are not enough words for me to describe how happy I am with these results. Eleanor was fabulous walking me through the steps and preparation, as well as everybody I encountered in the office. First class operation from start to finish I will definitely be back.

I first met Dr. Spiegel back in 2014 for tear trough fillers, and I was satisfied with the results as I noticed my under eyes appears very dark and hallow. Shortly after meeting him, I knew he was the surgeon I wanted to perform my rhinoplasty. His office staff was incredibly friendly and helpful, and after consulting with Dr. Spiegel three times (yes, three times), I decided to move forward with the procedure. He did a wonderful job addressing all of my concerns. I felt my nose was too large for my face, and he truly delivered the results I hoped for. Rhinoplasties take a long time to fully heal…up to a year, but even after my cast was removed, I could already see the beautiful work he had done. I knew immediately that I had chosen the right surgeon. What made me choose Dr. Spiegel was his confidence, kindness, and communication style. During every interaction, he was thoughtful and honest with his feedback and recommendations. His bedside manner is calming—he listens and allows you feel heard. Knowing that he’s a double board-certified facial plastic surgeon gave me even more confidence that I was in the best hands possible. Another thing I’ve always admired about Dr. Spiegel’s practice is the quality of the fellows and surgeons who work with him. Throughout my experience over the years, I’ve noticed that he brings in exceptionally talented surgeons who share his aesthetic eye, professionalism, and patient-centered approach. It’s clear that he carefully chooses and mentors people who uphold the same high standards of care and artistry that his practice is known for. Over the years, I’ve continued to see Dr. Spiegel for noninvasive treatments such as lasers and fillers. Most recently, in 2024–2025, I consulted with him again (three times, just like before lol) about a mini facelift. I ultimately decided to move forward with the procedure in September 2025. I’m still in the “recovery phase”, but I’m already so pleased with my results. My face looks refreshed, without it being obvious that I had surgery. I still have some swelling, particularly near the incision areas by my temples, but Dr. Spiegel assured me that by January I’ll see the final, refined results. I completely trust Dr. Spiegel and his team. From my very first procedure in 2014 to now, he has consistently provided outstanding care, expertise, and results. I couldn’t recommend him more highly. In fact, my husband is scheduled to have a rhinoplasty with Dr. Spiegel this December. To me, that’s the ultimate testament of trust-when you recommend a surgeon to your own family. That says everything about the confidence and faith we have in him and his team. I know this review could go on forever, but before I wrap up, I want to give a shout-out to Uzma. She has been with Dr. Spiegel since the very first day I walked through the doors back in 2014 and remains an essential part of his practice. She has been my patient coordinator all these years, and she’s wonderful. Always responsive, professional, and genuinely caring. Her calming voice and warm presence make every interaction easy and reassuring.

I also really appreciated some of the additional services available - as I tend to scar easily, I had several sessions in the hyperbaric chamber and have been amazed at how my well scars have healed. I would highly recommend The Spiegel Center to anyone considering any type of cosmetic procedure.
