Dr. Jacob Tower

Now it’s four years later and I am back as a patient at the Spiegel Center, this time to get some cosmetic enhancements to my aging face (though after four years I continue to love the results I got at The Spiegel Center). I’m starting off with some Botox and strategically placed filler, all in expert and artistic hands of Dr Onir, and am so excited with the improvement so far. Dr Onir is a great choice, she has made me feel comfortable and empowered in taking these steps - letting someone inject filler in your face is a little scary at first! But I’m glad I’m doing this and especially because I’m doing it at The Spiegel Center.

I went in for a consultation. What I never mentioned was this was my second time seeking a consultation for brachioplasty and breast reduction/lift procedures. The experience was completely different than my first consultation. The team was fantastic! Dr. Shektman took the time to examine me and review the procedures from all angles to truly help me make informed decisions. Uzma, the Patient Care Coordinator, also took the time to review everything and make sure all my questions were answered. I am excited to move forward with both procedures!

I went into my consultation with Dr. Tower doing a deep dive and researching his background, watching YouTube and Instagram videos and reading his reviews along with before and after pictures.. I had a pretty good idea of his impeccable work and impressive bio including that he was a head and neck surgeon and has trained with the best in the world like Dr. Neil Gordon. What I was most impressed by was his personality and the time he spent with me answering my questions and explaining the pre op and post op procedures. He made me feel like I can trust him with the one thing I have known all my life- my face. He was not pushy or trying to sell me on other procedures but set expectations of what I would potentially look like and that is exactly what I wanted. His clinical care coordinator Uzma is a gem too! She is a wealth of information and super punctual. I cancelled my other consults and I scheduled my surgery with Dr. Tower the following week for December. I will be sure to write a follow up post as I am so excited

I had a wonderful experience with the Spiegel Center and in particular, Dr. Tower. Everything from my initial consultation , the preop, surgery and postop care have been fantastic. I had a deep plane face and neck lift and I am only two weeks out post surgery. I am thrilled with my result. Dr. Tower is an amazing artist, engineer and surgeon. HE is very kind, understated and non judgmental. He’s a great listener and took the time to understand exactly what my concerns were. He gave me whatever time I needed and I never felt he was trying to upsell me.

Cristina was my coordinator and she was fabulous. She took a lot of time to reassure me, answer my endless questions and she greeted me at every appointment. She’s a gem..

I couldn’t be happier with the whole experience. I’m very grateful to the Spiegel Center.

Had got a liquid nose job and lip filler. Never been so confident with my nose! The doctor shaped it perfectly, and she made it very comfortable. I had suggested that if they could fit me in for lip filler since I was there and originally had an appointment somewhere else later that day. They set me up instantly and the results are better than I expected! So happy I went the Spiegel Center. Highly recommend.

My experience at The Spiegel Center was terrific! The staff there is extremely professional friendly and helpful. Carol, my liason, was welcoming and very informative; and my surgeon, Dr. Tower's attention to detail with my procedure was exceptional! Dr Tower's aproach is thoughtful and kind - a true proffessional! am thrilled with my results one week post neck lift procedure!

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 Spiegel Center. She is unquestionably a key asset to your team's success.

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. I've 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 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.

Originally I made an appointment with Dr. Onir Spiegel to go in and talk about having some scar revision done. When meeting with her she asked me exactly what I was looking for and we discussed some concerns of mine in regards to having a surgery done on an old scar which is on my face. The biggest thing for me was the fact I am in sales and did not want to have stitches in my face again to try to minimize the appearance of this scar. She then suggested trying micro needling. At the time I did not know exactly what micro needling was so she explained the procedure and that it would help stimulate collagen and elastin production which is what happens when your skin heals. This in turn helps minimize the appearance of a scar along with minimizing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. I went in for 4 treatments over a period of 6-7months. I could not be happier with the result. I had my whole face done and my skin looks beautiful. I get compliments on it all the time. My scar is very hard to see also which is exactly the result I wanted. For me there was no downtime on this. I was able to cover up any redness with makeup the next day and after 3-4 days my face was completely back to normal as far as coloring goes. Not only was Dr. Onir wonderful but the office staff was outstanding. They helped me with getting products to help my skin heal which they carry right in their office. The whole experience was wonderful and I can't thank them all enough!

My experience with The Spiegel Center has been extremely comfortable and amazing. I had voice feminization surgery there back in January and the results just a month later are incredible! The staff has been incredibly nice and caring with me before and after my procedure. My patient care coordinator is Uzma and she is incredible! She responds promptly if you ever need anything, she is incredibly nice and truly cares about me and I’m sure all of her patients she takes care of :). Dr. Spiegel answered every question I had about the procedure and of course did an excellent job, he also has great bedside manner he checked in with me before and after my surgery. We also just had a follow-up to make sure everything was healing well. I remember being nervous because surgery in general is scary. While I was laying on the operating table before I was put to sleep one of the nurses held me until I passed out to comfort me which meant the world to me. Love you guys ❤️ I’m so happy I made the decision to go here :).

I'm torn between 4 and 5 stars because our experience was most accurately 4.5 stars. My wife had VFS in summer of 2024 and our experience overall was excellent. There are three main sides I would categorize here: the surgical, the office, and billing. First and foremost: The surgery and surgical team was superb. The whole process, especially discussions about risks, results, and recovery were honest and accurate. Our care coordinator Uzma was diligent and communicative over the months long process before and after surgery. The times when she was unavailable or there was a roadblock on their side it was resolved within hours or a couple days which is refreshing. Juliana, one of their care specialists was also a great conversation just ahead of surgery. The facility was clean and comfortable and we felt we were in safe and competent hands. Most importantly my wife was quite satisfied with the results of a complex and not always easy to predict procedure. The front office was lovely and communicative and always able to steer us in the right direction. The only downsides was with their third party biller (surprise surprise, issues with insurance). Let me first say we were extremely grateful for their office and billers willingness to come to an agreement with our insurer and overall they were pretty great. Unfortunately some errors were made in some of the submissions made by the biller after the procedure which caused about 3 months of delay for the significant deposit refund. I will also note Uzma and the team were transparent about these roadblocks up front (when we discussed the insurance process and asked questions), and in hindsight our months long delay may be on the short side. If you are out of network prepare for 6 months or more for not getting the deposit back until it is resolved with insurance and plan accordingly. Ultimately I've landed on 5 stars, truly 4.5 stars. The surgery, the lead up, procedure, and follow-up were handled great and I recommend The Spiegel Center for VFS and trach shave.
