Patient Reviews

I had an amazing experience here with a mole removal from my nose, Botox and temple filler. The care team, particularly Cristina, answered all my questions, calmed my nerves and followed up with me. Dr. Tower did an unbelievable job removing a large mole from bridge of nose and 2.5 weeks later there is just the faintest scar. Dr. Onir gave me just the right amount of face and neck Botox, and temple and lip filler. I look much younger and refreshed! Couldn't be happier!

Dr. Onir is a wonder. I recently saw her for botox to help with my headaches. She was very compassionate and thoughtful. Dr. Onir listened to all of my concerns and answered all of my questions. She made the procedure comfortable and painless. Not only did it help with my pain but the cosmetic effects were wonderful.

I see Dr. Onir for botox and filler and she is truly a gifted injector. When I go in, I tell her the look I'm going for and she works her magic every single time. I wouldn't trust anyone else with my face!

Everyone at the Spiegel Center has been so kind and helpful. I have had the Pleasure of working with many of the staff and providers. Treatments are always preformed with great care and never rushed. The care coordinators and providers are always available to answer any questions and the office staff are always there to make sure you are comfortable. The procedures I have had have always been highly effective with outstanding results. Including botox, Morpheus8, mole removal and Tummy Tuck.

The Spiegel Center has been amazing in taking care of my surgical and esthetic needs! I've had facial feminization surgery, breast augmentation, botox and filler, and I couldn't be happier with the results! I plan on going back for any further needs I have and continuing being a regular client.

I've visited frequently these past couple of years. Everyone here does fantastic work​. ​I've visited Dr. Onir several times for Botox and fillers. She's SO kind and does a phenomenal job! She even gave me a couple tips on feminine facial mannerisms that I've gladly taken to heart.

Dr. Onir is not only highly skilled in beautifying, she’s also always in consistent pursuit of progress. She makes suggestions she confidently believes are only going to improve the overall result of your goals. My experiences with Dr. Onir are with Morpheus 8, Botox, and dermal fillers. Extremely satisfied with her expertise!! The only regret you’ll have is having waited to visit the Spiegel Center!

I see Dr. Onir for botox and filler and she is really the best of the best. Anytime she suggests something, I trust her fully and the results are always fabulous! I see Dr. Vandenberg for IPL and she is also the best! I have done 2 sessions with her so far and she’s always so kind and knowledgeable. 10/10 would recommend The Spiegel Center to anyone!

Dr Onir is an experienced injector who has gental hands and great listing skills. Her bedside manners are wonderful as well. I have been her long term patient, and overall experience with her has been outstanding. I highly recommend Dr. Onir for fillers and Botox treatments.

Dr. Onir and team are so awesome! Besides being super nice and friendly on the phone and in person, they really know what they are doing. Dr. Onir is very talented and won't steer you in the wrong direction. Thank you for making me look and feel younger!

I recently received a non-surgical rhinoplasty and botox with Onir a few weeks ago and I've been ecstatic with the results. She and the rest of the staff at the clinic made each experience a breeze and answered all my questions and concerns well. It was my first time doing a cosmetic procedure and they made me feel very comfortable with the whole process. The results look natural, and I've never been happier with my nose. Today, I went and had the first of my CoolSculpting sessions and had yet another pleasant experience. I am looking forward to my next experience with The Spiegel Center!

Dr. Spiegel is amazing!! From front desk to management, especially Uzma and Dr. Spiegel are a definite 10/10. This place is all about natural esthetic results, improving skin and so much more.

Dr Onir Spiegel gave me botox injections on my forehead to relax my wrinkles. The injections were painless and the results so far are terrific. I also had injections of filler in my tear throphs and my cheeks. Again the procedure was surprisingly painless, quick and the results are fantastic. She really seemed to care and was very funny too. Angelica the coordinator was excellent to deal with, see answered questions very quickly. And all the staff were really caring,honest and skilled. I recomend the practice to anyone who is considering plastic surgery as they care and will be honest with

Really appreciated their kindness Just had my first Botox experience here and really appreciated their kindness and education which calmed my nerves. The font desk staff, patient coordinator and Dr. Onir are so personable. Can't wait to see the results and o making this my stop for cosmetic help

Recently had a follow-up appointment with Dr. Onir Spiegel. She spent time talking with me about my concerns, offered feedback and we made a decision together. I never feel pushed into a product or rushed.I had additional injections of Radiesse and Xeomin with minimal pain. Uzma was also helpful in seeing me prior to Dr. Spiegel and discussing my concerns. She was also able to explain pricing and my payment options clearly. Both are incredibly caring, listening and responsive professionals!!

Spiegel Center is clutch. What sets them apart is their commitment and dedication to continuing education. They apply the latest breakthroughs rooted by Dr. Spiegel's experience and passion as a pioneer in surgery. Looking through Dr. Spiegel's work you will notice his attention to detail results in a natural look versus a fake exaggerated look, often seen by procedures in Hollywood. Look no where else. Its here.

Always responsive and informative and caring! I have been seeing Dr. Onir Spiegel, his wife for my injectables the past few years. She is always responsive and focused and offers options and suggestions. I never feel pushed into anything. Dr Jeffrey has been called in for consultations at times which is always helpful. Her patient care manager, Uzma Husain is incredibly caring and helpful . She explains everything and interprets procedures clearly. I never feel rushed. The practice is professional and yet very caring - like an extended family!! I always feel welcomed when I come!

Let me just say that Dr. Onir has an amazing eye for facial aesthetics and has the ability to make your ideal features shine and give you the look you’ve always wanted. Being a musician image is very important to me and my self expression and Dr. Onir was able to achieve the type of jawline that I pictured without any surgery or pain. I would never go to or trust anyone else for my facial fillers even if I moved to the west coast. Dr. Onir has a very calming demeanor that will make you feel at ease and comfortable.. I mentioned I had PTSD prior to my visit and she was more than understanding and caring in that regard. After my visit Dr. Onir checked in on me as she promised and made sure I was happy with the results and had no issues. Its very rare that you find a place as caring and welcoming as The Spiegel Center.. I would recommend going here for any cosmetic procedures. Couldn’t recommend them enough, 5 stars and more… Let’s not forget Dafina my patient coordinator who patiently waited an hour on the phone with me regarding a payment issue and Dr. Onir’s patience throughout the entire thing. All was sorted out and I never felt rushed or dismissed at all.

I had an amazing experience with Dr. Onir. She gave me facial fillers that transformed my look. My face looks fuller, more youthful, and completely natural. What really stood out to me was her technique, the injections were virtually painless, which I deeply appreciated. Dr. Onir takes her time and is incredibly thorough, always making sure I understand everything before moving forward. She has an incredible eye for detail and knows exactly where to place the fillers for the most flattering result. On top of all that, she is warm, kind, and genuinely cares about helping you feel more confident and happy with your appearance. I recommend Dr Onir highly!!

Doctor Tower was awesome! It was my first time getting injectables and Dr. Tower made me feel very comfortable and safe about everything! Definitely recommend The Spiegel Center. Everyone was nice and welcoming! From the front desk staff, Dr. Tower to Uzma the patient coordinator! Will definitely be back!

I always have such a great experience with Dr. Onir and April at the Spiegel Center! The staff are very kind and welcoming. Dr. Onir has mastered the natural filler look, enhancing my features, and I love my results!!

A wonderful experience with Dr Spiegel. I had Sculptra for the face. A painless and easy process. I cannot wait to see my transformation. Thanks!

I have been going to Dr. Onir Spiegel for fillers, Botox, and other rejuvenating procedures for years now. She is a true professional in terms of discussing what results I am looking for and being honest about how to best achieve this. Especially with fillers, which I believe is an art, she has a knack of just tweaking things so that I have better results than I even hoped for. I feel so comfortable, and that I am in the most competent hands. I wouldn't trust anyone else at this point :) You only get one face!!

Wow, what an incredible experience!! I have never been so comfortable getting my injections as I have in this office. Everyone, from April, the aesthetics coordinator, to Dr Onir couldn’t have made me feel more comfortable before, during, and after my procedure. I feel so beautiful and will continue to travel from Florida for any work I chose to have done! Thank you Spiegel Center!

I had a wonderful experience at the Spiegel Center. Everyone treated me kindly and I am satisfied with my result. I received dermal filler to my jawline, and the procedure added the volume and definition that I was looking for. Definitely recommend it to anyone looking to beautify their look!

The best cosmetic surgeon in the world, bar none. Dr Onir is a lovely person and she gives awesome results.

I saw Dr Onir twice now and the results have been incredible. She is a lovely person and will tailor for your needs, not her own. I had injectable fillers on my face and also the micro needling, Morpheus8. The results were fantastic and the procedure was almost painless. All the staff are so nice and welcoming, they are a joy to deal with. If you feel you need any cosmetic work, please go and see Dr Onir.

Dr. Spiegel and his entire staff are definitely 5 star providers. April, his coordinator made the whole experience so simple for me. She was so helpful and answered all of my questions. Dr. Spiegel is an excellent doctor and I am thrilled with my results.

I always have a wonderful experience when I get to visit The Spiegel Center. Everyone there is always really sweet in like the most genuine way. I got to meet April this time around, who is also incredible. I didn’t feel rushed or like I had to be artificially friendly, it was perfect.

I just had a liquid rhinoplasty by Dr. Onir and it was an amazing experience. She did a beautiful job and I am so so happy with my new appearance. Thank you so much Dr. Onir!

I recently received a non-surgical rhinoplasty and botox with Onir a few weeks ago and I've been ecstatic with the results. She and the rest of the staff at the clinic made each experience a breeze and answered all my questions and concerns well. It was my first time doing a cosmetic procedure and they made me feel very comfortable with the whole process. The results look natural, and I've never been happier with my nose.

I had the best experience. Dr. Onir and all of her staff were so warm and welcoming. Uzma did a wonderful job of making the paperwork process easy and understandable. Dr. Onir made my procedure so comfortable and the entire time I felt barely any pain.

I had a non-surgical rhinoplasty done at The Spiegel Center and could not be happier with the results! I had a very prominent bump on my nose that made it look like a beak and Dr. Onir completely straightened my nose out in under an hour! I cannot get over how great it came out - everyone I've shown says it looks like I had a surgical rhinoplasty it came out so good! Dr. Onir and Eleanor are excellent - highly recommend the team at The Spiegel Center!

I had a great experience with Dr. Onir and the rest of the staff at the Spiegel Center. They are extremely welcoming and it was a comfortable environment. I absolutely love the results of my non-surgical nose job!

My daughter and I chose The Spiegel Center, and we couldn't be happier or more grateful. Everyone with whom we interacted -- from the scheduling coordinator, Carole, to the clinical and office staff, to Drs. Jeffrey and Onir Spiegel, were extraordinarily welcoming, kind, responsive, and attentive. With Dr. Onir's years of experience and in-depth knowledge, we felt that we were in the best hands possible. We have both wholeheartedly recommended the Spiegel Center to family and friends, and will continue to do so. Thank you so much.

I feel like I got a permanent nose contour. It looks gorgeous gave me a boost of confidence. My results could be seen right away. Everyone noticed my fresh new look but had no idea what was different because I still looked like me. I am terrified of needles and she was so nice and gentle. The team was amazing!

Very happy with my experiences with both Dr. Onir and Dr. Spiegel. Dr. Onir performed a "Non-surgical rhinoplasty" with great skill and artistry. I was not very optimistic at first because I thought my nose would be too challenging for this procedure, but I was surprised by how much better and how beautiful it looks now. The virtually painless process took less than 15 minutes. I'd definitely return for this procedure and future procedures with Dr. Onir because I trust her aesthetic and the results. I also had a consultation with Dr. Spiegel about a future rhinoplasty. He was so kind and sincere. He made great observations and I feel very confident being a patient in the future. The office and support staff are friendly and understanding. I feel like this center is a perfect one-stop location for every cosmetic need.

I was so nervous before coming in to see Dr Onir but my worries went away soon after speaking with Taylor who answered all of my questions, and after meeting Dr Onir. I had filler injected into the bridge of my nose to reduce the appearance ornate a bump, and also under my eyes to reduce any eye bags I have picked up since turning 30 ;) I loved it and had no bruising or pain during or after the treatment.

I have been to the Spiegel Center a couple times now and have pleasant experiences every time! Those at the front desk are so lovely as I have gotten to know Daria the medical assistant very well! Dafina, the patient coordinator, is also always so helpful, kind, and knowledgeable. I most recently got lip filler done with Dr. Goslawski and could not be happier with the results! She knew exactly the look I was trying to achieve and made my dreams a reality!

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 Spiegal Center. Highly recommend.

Best filler experience ever! Dr.Onir was so helpful and professional. Answered all my questions and made me feel very secure and comfortable with my decisions! I’m in love with my results! Eleanor was also very informative and helpful with the breakdown of pricing and the entire process. Olivia was very friendly, enthusiastic,very informative and I️ am so thankful she steered me to the Spiegel Center. Will definitely be returning in the future!

I recently got lip filler from Dr. Onir at the Spiegel Center and had a really wonderful experience. This was my first time getting any sort of cosmetic procedure and I was extremely worried and nervous but it went great! Dr. Onir is very thorough and clear with explaining EXACTLY what she is doing and walking you through the steps gently. She is very kind and had a great bedside manner. At one point, I felt very faint and she could tell immediately. She reclined the chair I was in, and her coordinator, Jamie, got me some water and a cold compress for my forehead and when I was ready she kept going. I could tell an immediate, positive difference! She was great about explaining aftercare and upkeep, explained I would be swollen and possibly bruised for the next few days and that I would see the full results after about two weeks. She was exactly right, the recovery process was very easy, I really didn't have to do anything and now my lips are very soft and full and look beautiful! I am looking forward to my touch up appointment with her! I also had a great experience in general at the Spiegel Center. I originally consulted with Dr. Spiegel because I wanted to discuss the various options of lip augmentation. He is a great listener and explained everything very well. We discussed the lip lift as well as lip fillers as I was unsure. After going through the procedures and looking at price quotes, we decided that I would try the lip fillers first and see how I liked that. I would definitely love to undergo the lip lift surgery with him in the future! I really liked that Dr. Spiegel asked "What do you want your lips to look like?" and asked me what I liked about my lips and what I wanted to change, rather than asking me what I didn't like about them. He also did not try to convince me to get any other procedures (my mom was worried this would happen) which I liked! His staff is very kind and made me feel much calmer about being at a plastic surgeon's office. I worked a lot with Carol, who was so friendly and helpful and with Jaime. Jaime was so wonderful on the day I got my lips done! She made me feel a lot better and told me what to expect even before Dr. Onir came in. She is very funny and conversational and made me feel much more at ease. She is also very "on it" and professional. She assured me before I left that my lips would feel back to normal and look great, and she was right! I do not have my before pictures but as soon as I get them, I will post them to show what a great job she did! Even friends and family that were unsure about me getting filler loved the results and said it looked great.

Dr Onir injected filler into my lips and nose and my results were flawless! Uzma answered all of my questions and was extremely knowledgeable and made me feel very comfortable. I can’t wait to come back for more in a few months and see their friendly faces!

Dr. Onir Spiegel at the Spiegel Center in Newton, MA is an amazing injector. She listens to me and really knows how to give me the most beautiful and natural results. I love the shape of my lips. People think I look great but I look like myself.

Visit Dr. Onir and the amazing team at The Spiegel Center. They are professional and great at what they do. I never knew I needed my lips enhanced but when Dr. Onir recommended it I trusted her and I’m glad I did. It has changed my face for the better and I am beyond happy with the results ! And a special Thank you to Uzma the coordinator who was extremely knowledgeable and sweet, she made the process easy. Thank you The Spiegel Center staff you have gained a lifetime client!

I love the Spiegel Center! I've been coming here for fillers since last year and love the results so, so much. Dr. Onir is always so sweet and knowledgeable, and she numbs me up so I don't feel any pain. Last time I wanted a specific look of my lips and she did a fantastic job. Everyone always comments on them saying they look so natural! I love them. Uzma was so so kind and sweet too - she answered lots of my questions. Definitely recommending this place to my friends in Boston!

I can’t express enough how pleased I am with Dr. Tower. I had Facetite and Morpheus 8 done to the face and neck by Dr. Tower. During the procedure, he had numbed me and I did not feel anything; a much better alternative then being put to sleep. There was minimal discomfort and downtime. I am very happy with the results. It definitely gave me back that redefined look I was hoping for. Thank you, Dr. Tower! I would trust Dr. Tower with any future surgeries!

I had a neck and face tite procedure at the Center, and the results in just a couple months are already amazing! Dr Spiegel is skilled, personable and comforting, and I have to say, his assistant Eleanor was also so amazing... She got me through the procedure and post-care with her incredibly sweet personality and savvy skill set. I was nervous, having had no real experience with this...the experience level , comfort level and trust in your physician and staff all go into the making of a decision to do something good for your self. I am so glad I found Dr. Spiegel and his incredible staff.

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 visited the Spiegel Center back in April for Neck/face-tite and am very happy with the experience and results. Dr. Spiegel, Uzma - the Patient Coordinator, and the entire staff were great throughout the entire process (pre, during, post procedure). The procedure itself took less than 45 minutes, wasn't painful (although some mild discomfort as expected), and was minimally invasive meaning I could have returned to work/social life within 2-3 days if I wanted to (minus the requirement to wear a facial compression for the first 5 full days for the recovery process) without anyone noticing I had a procedure done. I am currently 4 months post procedure and the results are great as is, and will continue to improve for the next 2-4 months for the final result. I personally experienced little-to-no swelling, zero bruising, and just very mild tightness/stiffness in the treated areas for a couple of weeks. I visited and consulted with several other placed prior to ultimately choosing the Spiegel Center, and I'm very glad that I did. I'd highly recommend their work, professionalism, and the experience they provide.

I am more than pleased with my results. I got Facetite, Lip Implants, and Morpheus8. Dr. Spiegel and his staff make you feel so comfortable. I can’t wait to come in for more!

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.

Dr. Spiegel was very attentive to my needs and wants in terms of what I wanted. He did what was best for me and made me feel like I was being listened to. He did such an amazing with the Facetite and I can’t say how beyond grateful I am. I can see the results already and I still have a little more time to see the full results. I’m excited to see what the complete outcome of this is in a few months! I already have so much more confidence with the way I look and feel. Thank you so much Dr. Spiegel, I appreciate everything you have done for me! Eleanor, my patient care coordinator, was very sweet and helpful amongst this process, as this was my first time getting this done. She made me feel at ease about everything and that it would be such a wonderful outcome, and she was more than right. She helped in so many way including setting everything up and making everything go so smoothly. I couldn’t ask for a better person to help out with this. Thank you Eleanor, you are so amazing and hope to see you soon!

The entire team at the Spiegel center is excellent. During my visit, I was extremely nervous, and they went above and beyond to make me comfortable every step of the way. Eleanor is an absolute pleasure, and you can tell from your first conversation with her that she cares tremendously about giving you the best experience. Dr. Spiegel is personable and obviously very talented at what he does. He was confident and light hearted during the procedure which helped to put me at ease. Feeling very fortunate that I made the decision to book with the Spiegel center!

Amazing experience !! Had neck tite and chin implant done almost 3 weeks ago and so far I am very happy with the results !! The entire team was amazing through the entire practice . Listened to exactly what I was trying to achieve and answered all my questions!! Cristina the patient coordinator is just amazing, I can’t say enough .. she answered every single email I sent with any question at all any day of week almost right away and is just such a sweet , genuine lady! I just felt so comfortable and understood !!Loved working with her and the entire team !!! Can’t wait to see my final results !!

Dr. Tower is truly an artist and he took the time to customize exactly what would best benefit me. His nature/personality immediately immediately put me as ease as if I was talking to someone I've known for a long time... most importantly I could sense his genuineness, focus/attention to me, as the patient. It was extremely important for me to work with a doctor whom had an extensive background, experience and certifications, etc. - which Dr. Towers has exceptionally built over his career. Also, I it was wonderful work with a surgeon that is knowledgeable at all aspects of his profession (from new technology/innovations, treatments, surficial procedures, colleagues within the plastic surgery industry etc.). With Doctor Tower, I have had a brow lift, Fraxel, IPL and Morpheus treatments... the results have been exceptional. I highly recommend and encourage anyone interested in seeing a facial plastic surgeon to meet with Dr. Tower!

Everyone at the Spiegel Center has been so kind and helpful. I have had the Pleasure of working with many of the staff and providers. Treatments are always preformed with great care and never rushed. The care coordinators and providers are always available to answer any questions and the office staff are always there to make sure you are comfortable. The procedures I have had have always been highly effective with outstanding results. Including botox, Morpheus8, mole removal and Tummy Tuck.

I can’t express enough how pleased I am with Dr. Tower. I had Facetite and Morpheus 8 done to the face and neck by Dr. Tower. During the procedure, he had numbed me and I did not feel anything; a much better alternative then being put to sleep. There was minimal discomfort and downtime. I am very happy with the results. It definitely gave me back that redefined look I was hoping for. Thank you, Dr. Tower! I would trust Dr. Tower with any future surgeries!

Exceptional Facial Aesthetics Experience with Dr. Spiegel! Updated Review (previous review written for FFS, also 5 star). I recently had the privilege of visiting Dr. Spiegel for facial aesthetics treatments (3rd Morpheus 8 treatment), and I cannot express enough how impressed I am with his expertise and care. As someone who has previously tried local options in North Carolina, I can confidently say that Dr. Spiegel stands head and shoulders above the rest. From the moment I stepped into his clinic, I was greeted by a warm and professional staff who made me feel at ease (thank you Faith, and the other kind receptionist/assistant…I forgot her name😔). Of course Carole, my Client Care Coordinator, is always available for questions, concerns, or entertaining my rambling about Boston traffic. Dr. Spiegel himself exudes a remarkable level of knowledge and skill, leaving no doubt in my mind that I was in the hands of a true expert. His commitment to understanding my unique facial concerns and desired outcomes was evident throughout our discussions. What truly sets Dr. Spiegel apart is his ability to enhance facial tone and features with incredible precision and artistry. His treatments go beyond surface-level improvements, delving into the realm of transformative results. The remarkable improvements I have witnessed in my own skin are a testament to his exceptional talent. Not only did Dr. Spiegel provide outstanding results, but he also prioritized my comfort and well-being throughout the process. His approachable demeanor and genuine concern for his patients foster a trusting and supportive environment, making every visit a positive experience. It's worth noting that despite having local options for facial treatments, I willingly choose to travel to see Dr. Spiegel because he is the only one I trust with my skin. His unwavering dedication to staying at the forefront of facial aesthetics ensures that he consistently delivers the highest quality of care and the latest techniques. In conclusion, I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Spiegel to anyone seeking top-tier facial aesthetics treatments. His expertise, artistry, and commitment to patient satisfaction are unmatched. If you're looking for remarkable results and a truly transformative experience, Dr. Spiegel is the professional you can trust with your skin and facial features.

Dr. Spiegel is an extremely gifted surgeon! He is so kind, knowledgeable, skilled and funny! That last adjective is an appropriate humor that puts you at ease. I wouldn’t want anyone else to perform this surgery. My trust in him is 100%!! I recently had a lower Blepharoplasty, Morpheus8 and IPL (Intense Pulsed Light done at The Spiegel Center in Newton, Ma. Dr. Spiegel and his fellow, Dr. Vandenberg performed the procedures in the office under local anesthesia and I felt no pain from the surgery! My results are amazing! My under eye bags, wrinkles and crepey skin are GONE and my skin is glowing from the Morpheus8 and IPL. Fine lines and wrinkles have disappeared and continue to as collagen and elastin keeps producing: making my skin tighter. It was the greatest experience. My surgical coordinator Uzma Husain arranged everything from scheduling to payment to aftercare. She was so supportive and followed up with me several times post operatively. It was a such a pleasure to work with her! She is so encouraging and very organized and makes you feel so good. I am so happy with the results I would recommend this to anyone who is bothered by eye bags, wrinkles, age spots, enlarged pores, redness etc. My overall experience was A++++++ 10 stars! The staff is so caring and want you to have a relaxing and stress free experience. Uzma, Dr. Spiegel and Dr. Vandenberg went above and beyond to make me feel good about myself and I’m so grateful for their expertise and wonderful 'bedside' manner! I can’t wait to do Morpheus8 again! What a difference it makes for such a short (and for me, pain free) procedure! I highly recommend booking a consultation as soon as possible! Thank you all for giving me my confidence back!

Dr. Onir is not only highly skilled in beautifying, she’s also always in consistent pursuit of progress. She makes suggestions she confidently believes are only going to improve the overall result of your goals. My experiences with Dr. Onir are with Morpheus 8, Botox, and dermal fillers. Extremely satisfied with her expertise!! The only regret you’ll have is having waited to visit the Spiegel Center!

I had a wonderful experience every time I visited the Spiegel Center. I had Morpheus 8 , I am fascinated with the results. If considering any aesthetic process the Spiegel Center is the best place to go. I will definitely recommend.

Great sessions with Aisha! Had 3 Morpheus8 sessions and she took great care of me. She seemed to really care about me and the treatment. Great results for my acne scars and minimally painful. Will definitely ask for her if I have any future sessions.

For the swelling [Dr. Spiegel] recommended I get Morpheus8 for both swelling and acne scarring. Initially, I was nervous about his decision because I had undergone many laser treatments to eliminate my acne scars and worked with numerous dermatologists, but unfortunately I developed melasma, which no one could cure even after spending years of my money. Dr Spiegel put me on oral tranexamic acid and hydroquinone, which I discontinued a few times because they didn't work for my skin and a serum I got from his office. In one month after starting Morpheus8, I have noticed some improvement on my acne scarring, but more importantly, my melasma and discoloration are starting to fade. The only surgeon and doctor I love to continue working with is Dr Spiegel and I highly recommend him to anyone with any concerns they may have.

Outstanding I'm i'm very happy with the outcome of my procedures. Ellacor, liplift ( Which was done as a revision for something else of different Doctor had done that I was not happy with), And upper upper blepharoplasty. The staff was very helpful and accommodating. I did the procedure under local anesthetic which was pretty intense getting my face numb but once that was done the procedure itself was painless. I am very thankful to the Doctor and his staff.

I was at my annual physical and my doctor looked at my stomach and said 'you can't tell you ever carried a child, never mind two' - she had no idea I’d had bodytite 2 months ago! Huge thanks to Dr. Spiegel and his amazing team!

Immediate results after BodyTite on stomach & flanks & buccal fat removal When I went to the Spiegel Center I was unsure about going through with the procedures I had which included buccal fat removal as well as bodytite on my stomach and flanks. I am so happy I decided to go through with both procedure and the results were immediately noticeable and continue to improve. The staff answered all of my questions and were very attentive.

Everyone at the Spiegel Center is very professional and courteous. Dr. Spiegel is amazing at what he does and makes you feel comfortable right away. The bodytite procedure was unbelievable and I'm so glad I decided to do it!!

Dr Spiegal and his staff (Uzma, Carol) are always professional, very patient and willing to answer endless questions so you are completely comfortable with the process. The results are always measured against the high standards that Dr Spiegal holds his work to. I wouldn’t go anywhere else when considering any procedure to enhance or maintain my appearance.

Did body tite on upper arms. Easy recovery and even better results than I had hoped for.

Dr. Tower is truly an artist and he took the time to customize exactly what would best benefit me. His nature/personality immediately immediately put me as ease as if I was talking to someone I've known for a long time... most importantly I could sense his genuineness, focus/attention to me, as the patient. It was extremely important for me to work with a doctor whom had an extensive background, experience and certifications, etc. - which Dr. Towers has exceptionally built over his career. Also, I it was wonderful work with a surgeon that is knowledgeable at all aspects of his profession (from new technology/innovations, treatments, surficial procedures, colleagues within the plastic surgery industry etc.). With Doctor Tower, I have had a brow lift, Fraxel, IPL and Morpheus treatments... the results have been exceptional. I highly recommend and encourage anyone interested in seeing a facial plastic surgeon to meet with Dr. Tower!

I recently had a lower Blepharoplasty, Morpheus8 and IPL (Intense Pulsed Light done at The Spiegel Center in Newton, Ma. Dr. Spiegel and his fellow, Dr. Vandenberg performed the procedures in the office under local anesthesia and I felt no pain from the surgery! My results are amazing! My under eye bags, wrinkles and crepey skin are GONE and my skin is glowing from the Morpheus8 and IPL. Fine lines and wrinkles have disappeared and continue to as collagen and elastin keeps producing: making my skin tighter. It was the greatest experience. My surgical coordinator Uzma Husain arranged everything from scheduling to payment to aftercare. She was so supportive and followed up with me several times post operatively. It was such a pleasure to work with her! She is so encouraging and very organized and makes you feel so good. I am so happy with the results I would recommend this to anyone who is bothered by eye bags, wrinkles, age spots, enlarged pores, redness etc. My overall experience was A++++++ 10 stars! The staff is so caring and want you to have a relaxing and stress free experience. Uzma, Dr. Spiegel and Dr. Vandenberg went above and beyond to make me feel good about myself and I’m so grateful for their expertise and wonderful “bedside” manner! I can’t wait to do Morpheus8 again! What a difference it makes for such a short (and for me, pain free) procedure! I highly recommend booking a consultation as soon as possible! Thank you all for giving me my confidence back!

I have been to the Spiegel Center a few times. This most recent visit was for IPL. From the minute I walk in until the time I leave, I never feel like just a patient. The staff is so friendly, especially Shoilee and April. I feel like I am hanging out friends. Dr. Onir takes the time to answer all my questions and address all my concerns. I never feel rushed. I highly recommend The Spiegel Center.

I see Dr. Onir for botox and filler and she is really the best of the best. Anytime she suggests something, I trust her fully and the results are always fabulous! I see Dr. Vandenberg for IPL and she is also the best! I have done 2 sessions with her so far and she’s always so kind and knowledgeable. 10/10 would recommend The Spiegel Center to anyone!

I received a series of (3) IPL treatments, primarily for hyperpigmentation and acne. My expectations were not high, as I have been dealing with stubborn acne my entire life, and the red marks left behind can linger for a year or more. I have tried so many topical and oral treatments. So I was surprised and THRILLED when after the 2nd treatment, I began to notice serious changes. I went from a girl with "bad skin" to receiving COMPLIMENTS on my skin, including from my PCP! So the results were great, but I also want to compliment the staff, who went out of the way to understand my expectations and that I was satisfied with the treatment. Eleanor coordinated my treatments, including reaching out before the treatment to make sure I had "prepped" properly, for example, with numbing cream. This care goes a long way, especially when you are new to the treatment, busy, and anxious. A picture is worth a thousand words, so pictures are included!

Went here for a consult for microneedling or IPL and met with Kayla the new esthetician and Taylor. They were both extremely knowledgable, were able to answer all of my questions and help me decide on a treatment that worked for me! I would recommend the center to anyone considering a procedure, they were so helpful and understanding about my skin issues too!

Amazing practice! I had a delightful experience with Dr. Spiegel. My results are outstanding and I definitely look forward to future visits. The physician took his time, supported me, and offered next steps. I appreciate his honesty, kindness, and expertise.

Five years ago I was fortunate enough to choose Dr. Spiegel for a full facelift. It was truly a positive a successful experience. I have been very happy with the results and decided to meet with Dr. Spiegel again to discuss possible micro-needling. Dr. Onir Spiegel thought that micro-needling would be very beneficial for my skin. I have received two of the three treatments and am very pleased with the results so far. Katie Deveney is the Clinical Services Manager and is a joy to work with. I hadn't seen her in some time and she greeted me with a warm welcoming hug and made me feel happy to be back. Kayla Allard is my medical esthetician and couldn't be more professional, knowledgeable and helpful. My experience with the Spiegel Center has always been one of professionalism with a strong influence of family and caring.

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 down time 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!

During my first year of medical school, my complexion changed significantly. I noticed a ton of small bumps that popped up on my forehead and cheeks. My skin was no longer clear and smooth and I lost the confidence in my skin I once had. I spent years trying to find a solution to my skin issues including trips to multiple dermatologists and the investment in countless products. Some made my skin much worse while others offered minimal improvement. But none resolved the issue completely. I recently decided to have a micro needling treatment. After all the ineffective products I had used, I was skeptical. It has been about a week since I had the micro-needling and already I am seeing significant improvement in the appearance and texture of my skin. And the bumps are almost completely gone! For the first time in so long, I will leave my house makeup free. I have been told that the results continue to improve with subsequent treatments and given the results I have experienced, I believe it. I am so excited about micro needling and if you are considering it, I highly recommend you give it a try!

Earlier this year I decided to undergo a deep plane face lift + brow lift and am very happy I chose The Spiegel Center. From the moment I made my initial appointment to my most recent follow up visit, I have been fully supported by the entire Spiegel Center team. Dr Spiegel was very patient answering all of my questions and making himself available. Cristina was amazing as my coordinator - she ensured I had all the information I needed and provided me with guidance throughout the process (and continues to do so today!). The entire staff has always been very welcoming, ensuring I never wait long and also making sure I’m comfortable during my visits. 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.

I finally decided to have electrolysis done on my face and take care of unwanted hair. I chose the Spiegel Center because of how they describe their process and because of very successful prior procedures I've had there.​ I've had several sessions, one of which was 'large volume electrolysis​' - 8 hours with two technicians. Dr. Onir, Dafina Sinani, who is my care coordinator for aesthetics and skin care, and the electrolysis technicians - Aisha and Kim - are wonderful and the quality of care is exceptional. Numbing injections and pain management were handled effectively and efficiently by Dr. Tower and Dr. Goslawski, in addition to Dr.s Onir and Spiegel.​ I highly recommend electrolysis at The Spiegel Center.

I visited the Spiegel Center for electrolysis after other electrolysis options were not viable due to the intense pain. I was blown away by the professionalism and efficacy of the staff. Dr. Onir did an excellent job injecting to prevent pain and Aisha, my technician, worked quickly and effectively and did everything possible to make me feel comfortable. In just a few sessions the results were excellent and I was happy to return. I highly recommend Aisha and the Spiegel Center to anyone considering electrolysis for permanent hair removal.

I can’t say enough about the staff at Dr. Spiegel’s office. Taylor has been by my side since I booked my first consultation and proven to be a diligent and attentive patient care coordinator. Kayla has completely changed my skin. I have never felt so confident. I went from just trying facials (which are by far the most healing and soothing I have ever had) to laser hair removal and microneedling treatments. I’ve been very impressed with my results and can’t wait to go back!

After suffering from terrible ingrown hairs and bi monthly waxes I decided to finally give Laser Hair Removal a try. I also had a low hairline that really bothered me when I wore my hair up as those pesky little hairs never would reach my ponytail or grow long like the rest of my hair. I called the office to schedule my appointment & was greeted warmly right after one ring! After asking a few initial questions I decided to schedule my consultation with Kayla and her coordinator Taylor who was also amazing and fit me in a time that worked well with my busy work schedule. When you walk in its like a beautiful white palace! The sparkling diamond chandeliers and beautiful decor really give it an upscale feel. The girls at the front desk are gorgeous and so sweet! They offered me a drink and helped me sign in. I knew I would be in great hands! Kayla was amazing. I was very nervous but she instantly calmed my nerves and made me feel comfortable. The treatment was quick and easy and I was out the door shortly after. I really enjoyed that the treatment was done in a medical spa setting because it felt very clean while still being elegant and chic! Kayla did tell me it would take a couple of sessions but after just one session I have had little to no hair grow back! My one regret is that I didn't come see Kayla sooner! My skin is so smooth and soft and I am going to do other areas as well now. She also does other laser treatments as well as micro needling which I am going to try for some stretch marks I have and want to get rid of! Taylor was super informative and helped me pick a package that was a great price and would cover all of my treatments. I also splurged and picked up some skin care that she recommend (her skin looks like a doll so I trusted her completely!) I am loving them so far as well. It is worth a visit to their office, you will not regret it!

I returned to the Spiegel Center recently for FUE hair grafts with the amazing Alicia and Jenny and can’t say enough great things about these two angels! I was extremely nervous, as this was a dream procedure for me that I wanted for years, but the second I met with them I was at ease. They were so kind and fun, but most importantly absolute pros! The procedure not only took way less time because of their efficiency, teamwork, and skill set, but it was also virtually pain free. Even though it will take up to a year to see the final result I already feel more beautiful with the perfectly rounded hairline they gave me! Also, my care coordinator Uzma is the best! She took amazing care of me along the way and was always prompt and effective in our contact— another angel for sure. Dr. Spiegel is of course another angel, as his professional direction has helped me endlessly over the years. Angels all around at the Spiegel Center!

I came to the spiegel center around fall for a hair transplant and lip lift. From the start the staff were extremely helpful and kind. My surgery was scheduled just a couple months after my consult. I’m almost 9 months out and I’m extremely happy with the results.

Dr. Spiegel and his team did a great job! On February 13 I had forehead reduction, hairline lowering, eyebrow lift, rhinoplasty, full face fat grafting and a subtle augmentation of my upper lip. There was very little pain after surgery- mainly discomfort from not being able to breathe through my nose. I hardly had to take any of the oxycodone they prescribed. (To be fair, I seemed to recover abnormally quickly so my experience might not be representative.) Then on February 20 I got 2000 FUE hair grafts to fill in my temples. It's now February 24 and I'm feeling well enough to go back to work. I already love the results- my forehead and nose especially already look MUCH better (i.e. less masculine). And it will only improve as the swelling continues to diminish and the last remaining bruise under my right eye disappears. Thank you Dr. Spiegel, Eleanor, and everyone who helped me at the Spiegel Center!

Upper Bleph and nose done in 2014 (I think) before I transitioned. FFS including forehead reconstruction, orbital rims reconstruction, upper lip lift. LOTS of Sculptra throughout the years. I'm super happy with the results.Cosmetic surgery gave me a super fun life.

I had a simultaneous facial feminization surgery with Dr. Spiegel and breast augmentation with Dr. Shektman at the Spiegel Center a little over a month ago. And honestly, to say that I'm happier would be an understatement - these surgeries have done a complete 180 on my self-image and mental health and I couldn't be more satisfied with the outcome! For the first time in my life since I remember being conscious, I'm able to look in the mirror, smile, and truly love what I see! I'm finally looking forward to the next chapter of my life, where I can live the life I should have always had in the body that I should have always had. Not only are the results amazing, but the whole process was so smooth and simple, from initially scheduling a consultation, fitting in two surgeries at once, having pre-op and post-op visits, and being able to call for help at any time. On top of that, every single person I interacted with at the Spiegel Center (especially Carole!) from the moment I set my foot in were exceptionally kind and caring - this was very important to me as it helped to establish a level of trust that I needed to feel comfortable proceeding with surgery. I'll forever be grateful to Dr. Spiegel and his team for their incredible work!!

I had the most amazing experience with Dr. Spiegel and his staff. In person he is just like he is in his videos. I found him to be skilled and professional and he gave me the best possible results for my facial surgery. I am still recovering at this time but already I have been overwhelmed with the changes. I would have no hesitation in having additional surgery performed by him and I highly recommend him to others. His staff were cordial and very helpful throughout the entire process and I felt welcomed and comfortable at all times.

I am a transgender-woman, and The Spiegel Center was my first choice in surgical care. I had two facial feminizing surgeries and breast augmentation. The results are excellent. Amazing results with the tiniest sutures I ever saw (I am a retired veterinary surgeon). Dr. Spiegel has the best bedside manner to go along with the quality results. My patient coordinator, Ms. Uzma was super. I highly recommend The Spiegel Center for transgender surgeries.

My experience receiving FFS at the Spiegel Center was an immensely positive and life-changing one. Dr. Spiegel, my care coordinator Carole Werner, and the entire care team were compassionate, attentive, and affirming through the whole process. I feel so much more confident and even more at home in my body now, and am absolutely thrilled with these results.

I had facial feminization surgery at the Spiegel Center 9 months ago. Despite despite all my research, the recovery process was more intense than I could've been prepared for and it has only been until recently I've felt recovered emotionally and physically enough to begin to reflect on the experience! Now that my face is mostly settled I feel safe to say I am so happy I chose the Spiegel Center. It isn't a far drive from where I live which made it a clear option, and the good reviews are true, Dr. Spiegel is excellent at what he does. Uzma was my patient care coordinator and she was a stable touchstone for me throughout the entire process; answering questions about insurance, responding with compassion to my distressed emails when I was freaked out by the healing process, and always being patient, clear, and direct when responding to my concerns or wonderings. Juliana, the transition specialist, had lots of helpful advice from lived experience, and also acted with such kindness and care. When I first went back to the Spiegel Center after several months of healing, Dafina was at the front desk this time and greeted me like she remembered me from yesterday and made me feel welcome with a couple genuinely meaningful compliments - so charming. Everything in the office seemed to run so smoothly even though everyone is so busy - clearly a hard working crew.

I had a great experience having FFS with Dr. Spiegel. When I decided to seek an FFS surgeon my number one priority was to find a surgeon with a proven track record and natural results. It’s your face after all! He was attentive in the consult and thorough in answering my questions. The procedures I had done were forehead contouring, eyebrow lift, rhinoplasty, fat transfer to the cheeks, and mandible contouring. I relied on Dr. Spiegel’s judgement for the rhinoplasty and mandible, since I knew I wanted them changed but had a hard time articulating how. The results are just what I hoped for: a face noticeably more feminine but definitely my own. If you can work with the folks that the Spiegel Center, I would highly recommend it. (By the way they work with Harvard Pilgrim.)

I have had eight different facial feminization surgery procedures done by Dr. Spiegel and every one of them have come out perfect. I will not allow any other surgeon to touch my face because Dr. Spiegel is the best in the world. My most recent surgery I had laser resurfacing, full face fat grafting, chin implants, some mild mandible contouring, and my lips filled up and made nice and full with fat grafting. Last night, I looked in the mirror, and I cried from happiness because my lips have never looked so flawless in my life. My skin makes me look 5 to 10 years younger from smoothness from the laser resurfacing. I had let Dr. Spiegel choose the size of the chin implant he thought would suit me best and he hit it out of the park with his choice. It looks perfect. Dr. Spiegel is a true wizard at his craft and I will proudly say I will never let any other surgeon touch my beautiful face but him because he is the best! Thank you Spiegel center and Dr. Spiegel for being the best in making me so beautiful.

I had surgery with Dr. Spiegel in May and I am positively blown-away by the results! I had several consults before-hand and at each one I was given all of the information I needed to move forward confidently and comfortably. I never felt rushed, and I always felt that my questions and concerns were handled with the utmost care. The whole team at The Spiegel Center has been a joy to work with, especially my patient coordinator, Carole. It has been so exciting to see myself more and more each day as I have gone through the recovery process, and I simply cannot thank everyone involved at The Spiegel Center enough!

To say I'm pleased with my experience at The Spiegel Center would be a huge understatement. I'm a 42 yo transgender woman and prior to surgery there were a number of masculine features on my face that caused me enormous dysphoria, including a fairly severe Type 3 forehead. I would cover it up with makeup the best I could and hide it with my bangs, but it still screamed, 'man!', every time I looked in the mirror. Because of the significance my facial features had on my Gender Dysphoria, I needed to be as sure as possible the surgeon had the experience and skills to deliver successful results. I had spoken with many centers with experience in FFS, but ultimately chose The Spiegel Center. Why? First off, Dr. Spiegel's reputation and my consult with him had me feeling very confident he could work miracles. Secondly, the level of support and attention I received from my patient care coordinator(Carole) really made me feel like I was family. It just felt right from the get go. After getting scheduled, the team there made sure I was properly prepared for everything leading up to the surgery through recovery. Carole made sure all my ducks were in a row, making me feel very cared for. Because I live out of state, I was also provided with information on accommodations near the center. Something that needs to be highlighted is the center has a transgender counselor who specializes in helping patients prepare mentally for the changes to be experienced and help manage expectations. For me, having someone transgender working there who I could relate to was invaluable. Lastly, the results. I was not prepared for how life changing they would be. After my face had reduced in swelling and I could get the bandages off, I realized that Dr. Spiegel made an impossibility, possible. Those features that caused so much pain and distress had been sculpted and modified to reveal the female version of myself I always dreamed I could see. I really cannot emphasize enough how happy I am I decided to put my trust in Dr. Spiegel and his amazing team.

I met Dr. Tower shortly after he joined the team at the Spiegel Center. My journey with the Spiegel Center started in 2023 after meeting their Transgender Specialist through a friend and learning more about the options available for affirmative procedures. My transition began rather late in life, and there were a few specific facial features that made me uncomfortable, both pre- and post-transition.​ Dr​. Tower provided a consultation and I felt something I’ve never felt before with a medical professional; I felt 'heard.' He politely established boundaries and proposed aesthetic options that reflected practical, subtle changes, and his delivery of the rationale behind each proposal were clear and easy for me to understand.​ When my finances were in order, I eagerly moved forward with booking the surgery with Dr​. Tower. The procedures were all completed in a single visit, which was important to me, as long as it could be accommodated safely. The recovery was uncomplicated and I was able to return to working from home within a week. After 2 weeks of recovery I felt comfortable resuming office work, and my reception by my colleagues assured me that I had made a good decision in placing the aesthetic decisions in the care of Dr. Tower. My main desire was to reduce my protruding brows, and of all of the procedures, this was most distressing to discuss with my mother. My consultations with Dr. Tower, a presentation covering FFS by Dr. Spiegel at a local conference, and the resources available from their practice helped immensely in mitigating her concerns and reservations. Though she reluctantly accepted that the decision was mine, when she saw the results her distress turned to astonishment. She understood why I needed this affirmative surgery. She saw the relief of years of internal trauma lifted and my newfound confidence and self-acceptance. No more distressing interactions when in public. No more awkward double-takes and disgusted looks from people who don’t understand gender identity issues. I’m grateful to have had this opportunity​. I’m grateful for Dr. Tower.

I sought out Dr Spiegel for FFS because he's a highly skilled surgeon and the best in his field. I was not disappointed with the results! In the 100+ days since my FFS procedure, the subtle, yet unmistakable changes have become very noticeable. Those changes continue to settle in. My appearance has become much more recognizably feminine and I am delighted with the results. I am grateful to Dr Spiegel and his team for their wonderful patient care, realistic set of outcomes and expectations and for their attention to my desires and goals. A special thanks to my caregiver, Carole, who was always bright and cheerful all while guiding me every step along the way.

Transitioning late in life, Dr. Spiegel performed extensive FFS for me consisting of 7 procedures. Results are stunning, natural and even my iPhone (faceID) no longer recognizes me. Dr. Spiegel is a highly trained and talented surgeon who provided me excellent results. He also possesses great bedside manner, personality and listened intently to all questions. Uzma, who was my patient care coordinator was equally exceptional in her role and she treated me like family.

Had FFS right before Covid, Initially unhappy but nowadays I can see he did a pretty great job though I still wish to change a few small things, Don't overset internal expectations, make sure to treat your body well nutritionally and keep your mind/lifestyle healthy otherwise you might end up unsatisfied. I saw major changes years later as opposed to more rapidly and the only real change was exercise, gaining a few pounds and diet, anyhow in combination with hormones and previous FFS with Dr. Spiegel a good result came to fruition nearly half a decade later. Feeling better inside and living healthy honestly made a huge change in result for me. No ones body can heal and change properly if they treat it poorly. I looked to blame others without realizing a major factor on my end was being unfulfilled. FFS is a part of the puzzle not a perfect piece.

I am extremely grateful to Dr. Spiegel, Carole, Dr. H, and everyone at this practice. From the girls at the front desk, to the folks in the operating room, I was treated with nothing but respect and kindness. Carole helped me so much along the way with preparing for my surgery day and even with care afterwards. Carole has been so incredibly helpful and reassuring. I APPRECIATE you so much, Carole! Dr. Spiegel is incredible. He has great bedside manner and is actually really funny. He's always cracking jokes and doing what he can to make his patients smile. He empathetically listens to concerns and addresses them with care. I am so grateful and honored that this is the man I chose to perform my FFS procedures. Also, the 10% off for military appreciation is huge and was unexpected. Thank you for all that you do, Dr. Spiegel! To the surgery center staff, I can't remember everyone's names but a few stuck out (Michelle / Ellen), thanks so much for keeping me comfortable before and during surgery. Michelle was my nurse who brought a warm blanket and equally warm conversation. Ellen was the anesthesiologist and very kind. I appreciate each of you that had a hand in my FFS procedures. Thank you!

I have had two separate FFS surgeries at the siegel center. First one being a rhinoplasty and cheek augmentation in 2021, and mandible/chin and forehead contouring in November 2023. My experience could not have been better. My dysphoria about my face is alleviated, and I feel truly beautiful and happy thanks to Dr. Spiegel. All four of the procedures I had done to my face were done perfectly, and essentially made me look like how I would look if I hadn't gone through male puberty or had my nose broken at all. And my face looks completely natural, like I hadn't even had surgery.​ The staff at the Spiegel Center is wonderful. Especially Uzma who truly cares about her clients. She is so kind, and all of the nurses and doctors I interacted with were as well. I want to thank Dr Spiegel, Uzma, and all of the staff that made me feel safe and comfortable the entire time :) and changed my life. If I could give more than 5 stars I would.

I had an amazing experience with the Spiegel Center, particularly with my patient coordinator, Uzma. She and all the staff were very trans-competent, affirming, and incredibly helpful! By the way, for anyone trans reading this, get yourself on Harvard Pilgrim insurance; they're great at covering gender-affirming procedures!

Dr. Spiegel was excellent as expected. A music lover just like me and we hit it off very well. What surprised me was how great of a coordinator Uzma Husain was. She went out of her way to make sure that I was okay from my injury and that I was safe and stable because I was very distraught. I needed someone to do that for me because I felt like the other places I was contacting weren't providing that essential service. She is my friend now and I am forever grateful for what she did for me. She even stayed up late to answer some of my questions when I was very very nervous and upset about what had happened. You will love the experience of having her as your coordinator. I can say that with 100% certainty. Also Juliana Wall the transition coordinator for the transgender patients is super super phenomenal as well her and uzma make a great team and I was so well cared for at the Spiegel center I was truly amazed.

I had FFS back in February with Dr. Speigel and his demeanor and attention to detail was nothing short of professional, the same going for Uzma, the patient coordinator. She made me feel so at ease and reassured during this obviously tough-to-navigate event. I’m very thankful for the whole office (even the front desk was always a pleasure to encounter) for making the process figuratively and literally as painless as possible.

Dr. Spiegel is a world class professional. I’m in my late 30s and had VFS with him in 2022 and FFS 10 weeks ago and have gotten past all of my healing. I had mandible and forehead contouring (with face lift), lip, and cheek augmentation. Everything is going as planned! My forehead was immediately smoother and jaw still has minor swelling as expected but I can’t stop looking at my face and thinking “I’m so cute!” The cool part is that when you get mandible contouring you get to see your results settle over time just like on the website pictures.

The person I see in the mirror smiles back a lot more than she used to after having my Facial Feminization Surgery with Dr. Spiegel. I have had an incredible experience with him and his team from the very first consultation to my most previous post-op visit. I always felt cared for and that my best interest was at heart. Dr. Spiegel is incredibly knowledgeable and does a wonderful job explaining every part of his process. My care coordinator Carole was beyond helpful and answered every question I could come up with. By the time my surgery day rolled around, I felt confident that I had all of the tools I would need to get through the recovery process as gracefully as possible. I couldn’t be happier with the results of my surgery and I would highly recommend Dr. Spiegel and his team.

I can't emphasize enough how grateful I am for the care and support I've received at the Dr. Spiegel Center for Advanced Facial Aesthetics. As a patient from New Orleans, Louisiana, I've had my fair share of skepticism and apprehension when it comes to trusting doctors and medical facilities. However, this office has truly stood out in every aspect, making it an exceptional experience. From the moment I walked in, I was struck by the warm and welcoming atmosphere of the office. The staff members are not only professional but also incredibly friendly and approachable. It's clear that they genuinely care about their patients' well-being, which immediately put me at ease. Dr. Spiegel himself is a true expert in his field. His knowledge and expertise in facial aesthetics are unmatched. He took the time to listen to my concerns and thoroughly explained the procedures and options available to me. What sets him apart is his commitment to achieving natural and personalized results. He's not in the business of one-size-fits-all solutions; rather, he tailors his approach to each patient's unique needs. Throughout my treatment, I felt like more than just a patient; I felt like a valued individual. The team at the Dr. Spiegel Center for Advanced Facial Aesthetics has gone above and beyond to ensure that I was comfortable, well-informed, and happy with the results. Their dedication and attention to detail are truly commendable. In terms of trustworthiness, this office has been a breath of fresh air. They've not only met but exceeded my expectations. I've never felt pressured into any procedure, and every step of the process was transparent and honest. I can confidently say that I've found a medical team I can trust without reservation. In summary, I highly recommend the Dr. Spiegel Center for Advanced Facial Aesthetics to anyone seeking top-notch care and results in the realm of facial aesthetics. They have given me care and genuine help that words can't adequately describe. My experience with this office has been nothing short of extraordinary, and I'm truly thankful for the positive impact they've had on my life.

I first came to The Spiegel Center for Facial Feminization Surgery (FFS) in 2019. After a positive experience, I returned two times — first, for a lip lift in 2022, and most recently this past summer for a tracheal shave. Dr. Spiegel listened to my needs and made sure I felt comfortable throughout all three experiences. Aside from Dr. Spiegel, the true highlight for me has been my Patient Care Coordinator, Carole Werner. She is an absolute gem and makes you feel so welcomed (and remembers the little details … always asks how my grandmother is doing, etc). My experiences at The Spiegel Center have been positive and I’m very happy with all three surgical results! 💎

I went to The Spiegel Center in 2020 for a full round of FFS. I was extremely nervous going into it as it was a major procedure that required a lot of paperwork and travel, but working with Carole and the staff at Spiegel Center, everything went so smoothly and efficiently it was almost like auto-pilot. The center itself is clean and easily located with lots of local housing and airbnbs, which made it easy to stay around for my return visits. The area itself is very cute with lots of culture and things to see and do leading up to the day. I was amazed at how clean and comfortable the center itself was and the Staff really helped me feel at ease throughout the entire process. I had heard rumors that Dr. Spiegel was one of the go-tos for FFS procedures. He had helped a friend of mine with her FFS and she was beautiful and recommended him, so I reached out and he got back to me in great timing for a free consultation. Having no experience of my own in the selection of which directions to go with surgically, I relied on careful advice from my consult with him to get the best look possible. I gave Dr. Spiegel full control to use his expertise and come up with a solid plan and direction for me and I was so happy with the results! My jawline, hairline, and new nose have completely changed my life. My side profile went from horrendous to very feminine, and the entire structure of my face is nearly indistinguishable from the blatant male markers I was cursed with prior. I kept in touch with Spiegel and his staff all throughout my recovery (they even sent me roses which was a sweet gesture) Any healing concerns or questions were quickly answered with respect and comfort and I always felt like they were guiding my softly along with a sort of expertise not often found in the modern medical establishment. Prior to my surgery with Dr. Spiegel I had been transitioning to female since 2009 but I never passed as flawlessly in my entire lifetime as I do now. It's changed the way I interact with everyone around me and boosted my confidence unlocking a new life I never thought possible before. This may seem like a sort of hammy review, but I just wanted to get it out there that Dr. Spiegel is amazing and I highly recommend him for FFS and trans related procedures. Thanks to the Spiegel team for everything!

Dr. Spiegel did an incredible job on my Facial Feminization Surgery, I healed quickly and easily & look great. My patient coordinator Uzma was very sweet and helpful through the entire process.

Had a great time with Dr. Spiegel for my FFS (Facial Feminization Surgery) & my patient care coordinator Uzma. Everyone was very kind and they have great support for their trans patients. I'm also very happy with my results! Dr. Spiegel did a great job and followed my reference very well.

Dr. Jeffery Spiegel is an exceptional plastic surgeon in Newton, MA, who specializes in gender affirming care for Trans Women.​ From the moment I stepped foot into his office, I felt safe and comfortable. Dr. Spiegel and his staff have always treated me with the utmost respect and made me feel at ease throughout the entire process. This is especially important when undergoing such personal and transformative procedures.​ I have had facial feminization surgery, a lip lift, and a lip fat grafting procedure with Dr. Spiegel, and I couldn't be happier with the outcomes. He took the time to listen to my concerns and goals, and he made sure to understand the parts of my face that caused dysphoria. I highly recommend bringing pictures of yourself to help identify these areas and also bringing in a picture of your desired look. Dr. Spiegel truly cares about making you the happiest version of yourself.​ One thing that sets Dr. Spiegel apart is his ability to listen. He genuinely listens to his patients and takes their desires and expectations into account. Throughout my journey, I have seen Dr. Spiegel in 2019, 2022, and 2023, and each time he has been attentive, understanding, and supportive. His assistant, Carole, has also been incredibly helpful and a pleasure to work with.​ Dr. Spiegel's expertise and experience are evident in his clear answers to any questions I had. He provided guidance based on what has proven successful with his previous patients, and I felt confident in the decisions we made together. Ultimately, the final decisions were always mine to make, giving me a sense of control and ownership over my own care.​ The results of my surgeries have exceeded my expectations, and I am extremely pleased with the outcome. Dr. Jeffery Spiegel is an outstanding plastic surgeon who specializes in gender affirming care for Trans Women. I highly recommend him to anyone seeking these procedures. You will feel safe, comfortable, and supported throughout the entire process, and the results will be truly transformative.

The entire staff here has been just amazing. From the first consultation until my latest (but certainly not last) procedure, I've been treated with respect, kindness, and the utmost care. Dr. Spiegel knew exactly what my facial feminization surgery should entail, and never pressured me for anything more than what was necessary. He put me at ease, and his expertise gave me the features I've been dreaming of. Dr. Shektman's breast augmentation also turned out perfect. I love my new figure! Dr. Onir is amazing - she provided excellent care when I went in for botox, and I'll be returning for filler very soon. Eleanor (my patient coordinator) and the rest of the staff have been incredible. Whether it's answering my endless questions, working around my scheduling, or just reassurance, the staff here has provided excellent service and care. I'll be doing all my future procedures here, without a doubt. EDIT: 6 Months later: It's been six months, and the results continue to get better and better! Everything has healed wonderfully, and I was almost shocked when seeing an older picture of myself the other day. I feel great - all of the pain and numbness have totally subsided, and the transformation continually blows me away. I would recommend anyone considering Facial Feminization Surgery to consult with Dr. Spiegel. EDIT: 3 years later: I'm still very happy with the results, and happily continue to be a regular client with any new and maintenance aesthetic needs!

I just can't stop going back!!! So, In addition to my first pleasurable outcomes last year (voice feminization surgery, breast augmentation, tracheal shave), I just had the following procedures with Dr. Spiegel: April: FFS(Facial feminization Surgery); June: Deep Plane Facelift. I'm still a bit swollen (totally expected), but as the swelling resides, I'm enjoying quite the slow unwrapping of a present. My face looks and feels amazing. I can't thank Dr. Spiegel and the staff at the Spiegel Center enough for the monumental effect my experiences at the Spiegel Center have had on my appearance and emotional wellbeing. If you're looking to enhance or bring out the real you, I highly recommend the Spiegel Center. Chances are, they have just the procedure you've been looking for.

Exceptional Facial Aesthetics Experience with Dr. Spiegel! Updated Review (previous review written for FFS, also 5 star). I recently had the privilege of visiting Dr. Spiegel for facial aesthetics treatments (3rd Morpheus 8 treatment), and I cannot express enough how impressed I am with his expertise and care. As someone who has previously tried local options in North Carolina, I can confidently say that Dr. Spiegel stands head and shoulders above the rest. From the moment I stepped into his clinic, I was greeted by a warm and professional staff who made me feel at ease (thank you Faith, and the other kind receptionist/assistant…I forgot her name😔). Of course Carole, my Client Care Coordinator, is always available for questions, concerns, or entertaining my rambling about Boston traffic. Dr. Spiegel himself exudes a remarkable level of knowledge and skill, leaving no doubt in my mind that I was in the hands of a true expert. His commitment to understanding my unique facial concerns and desired outcomes was evident throughout our discussions. What truly sets Dr. Spiegel apart is his ability to enhance facial tone and features with incredible precision and artistry. His treatments go beyond surface-level improvements, delving into the realm of transformative results. The remarkable improvements I have witnessed in my own skin are a testament to his exceptional talent. Not only did Dr. Spiegel provide outstanding results, but he also prioritized my comfort and well-being throughout the process. His approachable demeanor and genuine concern for his patients foster a trusting and supportive environment, making every visit a positive experience. It's worth noting that despite having local options for facial treatments, I willingly choose to travel to see Dr. Spiegel because he is the only one I trust with my skin. His unwavering dedication to staying at the forefront of facial aesthetics ensures that he consistently delivers the highest quality of care and the latest techniques. In conclusion, I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Spiegel to anyone seeking top-tier facial aesthetics treatments. His expertise, artistry, and commitment to patient satisfaction are unmatched. If you're looking for remarkable results and a truly transformative experience, Dr. Spiegel is the professional you can trust with your skin and facial features.

My experience with Dr Spiegel was excellent all the way - from initial consultation to the day of surgery and beyond. Of course, the most important thing is results - and I LOVE the results too - though with just 3 months after FFS, my jaw line is still improving. One HUGE advantage of Dr Spiegel is that he can combine several FFS corrections into one surgery (as I understood, he was even The First One to do it) - and with my transition being a late one, time is extremely important to me, so this ability is very important to me (for me it was forehead with scalp moving and brow lift, rhinoplasty, jaw, blepharoplasty, lip lift, and cheek implant, not to mention morpheus8 and faceted). His team is excellent too - I especially want to mention everybody working in Newton Surgery, and coordinator Eleanor. Overall, the experience was great - and more importantly, brought me MUCH closer to my perfect-transition goal.

I recently had the incredible opportunity to undergo facial feminization surgery (FFS) with the renowned Dr. Spiegel on December 1, 2022, and I couldn't be happier with the entire experience. From start to finish, my journey with Dr. Spiegel and his exceptional team has been nothing short of amazing.​ First and foremost, let me express my deep appreciation for Carole, my client care coordinator. Carole's unwavering support, kindness, and expertise made me feel cared for every step of the way. She guided me through the process, addressing all my concerns and ensuring I felt comfortable and confident in my decision. Carole's dedication to patient care is truly remarkable. The consultation with Dr. Spiegel was a true revelation. His profound understanding of facial feminization and his ability to listen attentively to my unique needs and desires reassured me that I had made the right choice. Dr. Spiegel's professionalism and compassionate approach instilled a sense of trust, and I knew I was in capable hands.​ When it comes to the surgery itself, fantastic is an understatement. Dr. Spiegel's expertise and artistic precision were evident in every aspect of the procedure. The results exceeded my expectations, reflecting the harmonious blend of my personal vision and Dr. Spiegel's exceptional surgical skill. His attention to detail is unparalleled, ensuring that every modification contributed to enhancing my natural beauty.​ Recovery, as expected, is a crucial phase following any surgical procedure. Dr. Spiegel's comprehensive care plan, along with his team's support, made this period as comfortable as possible. They provided me with detailed instructions, answered my questions promptly, and offered compassionate guidance throughout my healing journey.​ And here I am, writing this review—a testament to the life-changing transformation I have experienced. Dr. Spiegel's expertise, along with his genuine commitment to improving the lives of transgender individuals, is truly remarkable. The confidence and joy I feel today are beyond words, and I owe it all to Dr. Spiegel's skillful hands and compassionate heart. For anyone considering transgender facial surgery, I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Spiegel. His unparalleled expertise, compassionate approach, and commitment to empowering transgender individuals make him an outstanding choice. Trust in his expertise, and you too can embark on a journey towards self-affirmation and a newfound sense of confidence.​ Thank you, Dr. Spiegel, Carole, and the entire team for this life-changing experience. You have not only transformed my appearance but also helped me embrace my true identity.

I almost don’t know where to start in describing my happiness with Dr. Spiegel and his amazing staff. My entire FFS experience was terrific. Every office visit starts with a friendly feeling of belonging. They were always on time​,​ I was never left waiting. Dr Spiegel met with me a number of times before my surgery. He never seemed rushed, and any concerns I had were put to rest with knowledgeable and reassuring explanations. I had much anxiety about a forehead scar, and almost didn’t have a scalp advancement until the process & expected results were understood, and I was confident with their professional advice.​ Carole, my care coordinator, was a delight to work with from start to finish and even after. It’s been 3 months since my surgery, and she still checks in on me from time to time. I have to admit I was more than a little nervous in the days and weeks before. It takes a tremendous amount of trust to undergo FFS, and for all of my fears or concerns Carole was there every time with her unflappable optimism. When I walked into Newton Surgery on the morning of my procedures I was never more calm and confident, and Carole was a big part of making that happen.​ I was new to the idea of having such serious procedures performed in an outpatient setting. I was surprised how much better it seemed than a hospital OR. The gravity and tension of a hospital setting was non-existent. The camaraderie and confidence seen in the OR staff that clearly work together regularly was very comforting. It was also easy to see that FFS procedures were a regular thing here and their interaction with me was exemplary.​ My results are fantastic. I had 7 major procedures plus C02 laser. There are no noticeable scars, and it doesn’t look like I had anything done except for being more feminine. I still look like myself.​ The CO2 laser was a bit much to deal with in my early recovery, but I’m glad I agreed to do it. I look and feel a bit younger. I don’t feel the need to use foundation that much anymore.​ I would recommend Dr. Spiegel and the Spiegel Center for anyone thinking of FFS. The way that everyone there cares along with the quality and professionalism are unique.

I got FFS with Dr. Spiegel's team (hairline advancement, brow contouring, cheek augmentation, lip lift / aug, rhinoplasty, and mandible contouring, and Facetite) about a month ago. I am IN LOVE with the results! Throughout it all, his team was very respectful, kind, communicative, and warm. Through this whole process, I wasn't misgendered once, which was wonderful. Dr. Spiegel is a true master and one of the leaders in FFS for trans women. You can't be in better hands. I also got breast augmentation with Dr. Shektman at the same time and am very happy with my results. One thing to note is that the procedure costs a ton of money. If I wasn't lucky enough to have compatible insurance, I would not have been able to afford the procedure (and I'm also a doctor!). I want to give special thanks to Uzma, my coordinator, who instantly responded to emails even on the weekend and was so helpful with working with insurance and coordinating my care. Plus, she is so stylish!! Thank you so much, Dr. Spiegel, Uzma, Shoilee, Juliana, and other staff at the Spiegel Center!

Spiegel is an absolutely amazing surgeon. His bedside manner is wonderful, his staff are amazing people, and his attention to detail and quality of his work is incredible. He is like a renaissance artist, only instead of painting a picture he makes beautiful faces instead. You definitely get what you pay for at this place. I'm still healing from my surgery so I'm going to have to check back later and edit this review, but I am already impressed with the initial results as my brow ridge that has bothered me for quite some time now is completely gone and that has helped alleviate some of my dysphoria. Transitioning from male to female is not a pleasant process, but I couldn't have asked for a better team of people to participate in this surgical phase of my journey.

I've had two surgeries here, FFS and top surgery, as well as electrolysis. The staff and surgeons are top-notch. Post-surgery, Fabio was an amazing nurse, always available to answer any questions by text or voice for several days after surgery. Uzma was my surgical coordinator. She was, and continues to be, amazing. For electrolysis April was my coordinator. She was and continues to be, wonderful as well. The electrologist was also raising the bar. I can't say enough positive things about the staff, Dr. Spiegel, or his better half, Dr. O.

I couldn't be more pleased with the experience and the result. Personality-wise, Dr. Spiegel is a nice, down-to-earth man. His patient coordinator Carole is lovely. She treated my wife and I more like good friends than patients. Initially, I only wanted a nose job but decided to get facial feminization after talking with Dr. Spiegel. I was extremely nervous - I wanted to continue to look like myself but feminine, which I thought was a tall order. The result? I got exactly what I wanted, just better than I could have imagined. My wife, co-workers and others have gushed over how I look. I'm happy with the outcome and no longer have to worry about passing. :) I would recommend Dr. Spiegel to anyone considering plastic surgery. Hopefully, I'll be able to have voice feminization with him in the not-so-distant future. I wouldn't consider going elsewhere.

I've visited frequently these past couple of years. Everyone here does fantastic work; Dr. Spiegel did my FFS; results showed within a month, and improved dramatically over the course of the next year. I saw him again recently for vocal feminization surgery because I am so confident in his work! I've visited Dr. Onir several times for Botox and fillers. She's SO kind and does a phenomenal job! She even gave me a couple tips on feminine facial mannerisms that I've gladly taken to heart. Dr. Shektman performed my top surgery, and some lipo, and I'm very satisfied with those results! Aisha has done my marathon electrolysis treatments. I can't say I love that process, but it is definitely worth it for its efficacy and the pain relief they use. They recently added Juliana, who is lovely and provides great support trans folks who are seeking treatment!! And I absolutely need to mention my patient care coordinator, Uzma. She's taken an acute interest in my care and I'm SO grateful to her for her advocacy and support; I would not have been able to figure this all out without her.

So excited with my results from my FFS with Dr. Spiegel! The Spiegel Center fought my insurance company and won, gave me loads of information and answered all my questions, and took great care of me during and after. They've even got a trans woman on staff to help navigate the process and provide emotional support. This is the face that I was always supposed to have, and I am thrilled to finally see myself in the mirror! Dr. Spiegel was definitely the right choice for me. Highly recommend.

From start to finish, EVERYTHING! was a finely tuned Custom experience. Dr. Spiegel and his entire team are dedicated to you throughout your entire journey. If you have questions, just ask, they have answers! The patient care coordinators have all the answers and if they don’t, they will. There’s just a million things to say and I could honestly write a book, but I’m going to simply say if you’re looking for a Dr, those are easy to find, but if you're looking for a truly skilled and talented medical surgeon then you need Dr. Spiegel. Thank you to the entire staff and I’ll be back soon!

I had FFS performed by Dr. Spiegel in the spring of 2022 and with about a year since it happened, could not be happier with the results and overall experience. The staff were enormously kind, respectful, and supportive of my anxieties about having my first medical surgery. Dr. Spiegel himself had exceptional bedside manners, and more importantly, the positive effect his work has had on my life is entirely unmeasurable! Thank you again!

I had FFS with Dr. Spiegel. This review and 5-star rating is for those procedures only, and about 9 months after the surgery. I had forehead and eyebrow shaping, nose job, trachea shave, and upper lip augmentation. The surgery went well, no complications, and I returned home the same day all bandaged up. The swelling was intense over the next few days and the nausea, especially on the first day was awful, but apparently that happens with nose jobs a lot, according to my friend at least. The first week took a lot of ice and laying around, but by the second week I started being able to walk around the neighborhood and be upright more often. By the end of the 2 weeks, most of the swelling had gone down, but the bruising around the eyes took another few weeks to go away. I could go out in public, albeit with makeup.​ ​Forehead/brow shaping​ results​: the slight brow ridges I had were taken down so that from the front you can't see the telltale ridges. It didn't change the shape of my eyebrows. The scalp was advanced a little bit, which helped with the appearance of the hair line. There was still a sizable forehead leftover, so I also decided to get a FUE hair transplant a few months later, but I think the scalp advancement did more honestly. Nose job: I had a wide bridge and a noticeable bump. The nose was slimmed and sloped and pointed upward a little. All in all, this may have been the most noticeable and gender affirming single surgery. There's a slight divot where he had to do some pretty major work on the bump, and I have a little bit of trouble with breathing through the left nostril. But all in all very worth it. Trachea shave: It went fine. it was brought down to a tiny bump. I'm fairly skinny, so the bump is still noticeable but the overall size was brought down.

I had a great experience having FFS with Dr. Spiegel. When I decided to seek an FFS surgeon my number one priority was to find a surgeon with a proven track record and natural results. It’s your face after all! He was attentive in the consult and thorough in answering my questions. The procedures I had done were forehead contouring, eyebrow lift, rhinoplasty, fat transfer to the cheeks, and mandible contouring. I relied on Dr. Spiegel’s judgement for the rhinoplasty and mandible, since I knew I wanted them changed but had a hard time articulating how. The results are just what I hoped for: a face noticeably more feminine but definitely my own. If you can work with the folks that the Spiegel Center, I would highly recommend it. (By the way they work with Harvard Pilgrim.)

Thank God I found Dr. Spiegel at The Spiegel Center! I was born female but always felt my forehead made me look masculine, so I went to my plastic surgeon in New Jersey, and he referred me to Dr. Spiegel in Boston, Massachusetts; he said he was the best in forehead contouring! I quickly called their office and spoke to Carole. Words cannot explain how amazing she was. She explained everything and helped me complete the paperwork and prepare me for surgery. In addition, she gave me her cell phone number just in case I had any additional questions when she was not in the office. I did a FaceTime consultation with Dr. Spiegel, and I felt comfortable with him immediately. He thoroughly explained everything and made me feel like he was perfect for the job. Soon after, I scheduled an appointment for surgery. On the day of surgery, Carole ensured I had no problems traveling from Jersey to Boston and greeted me when I arrived. On the day of the surgery, the entire staff was outstanding from beginning to end. The first couple weeks after surgery was a little challenging, but pain medication helped me feel relaxed and comfortable. Whenever I felt an ache or pain that I wasn’t sure was normal, I contacted Dr. Spiegel directly. He listened carefully, asked me to send pictures, and assured me that everything was normal and to contact him again if necessary. Two months post op: I’m back in the office seeing Dr. Spiegel to make sure everything is healing well and looks good, and he explained that everything looked great! I’m healing fast. I was concerned because every now and then, I have a little sting and sharp throbbing in the forehead area and on top of my head. Dr. Spiegel explained that I wanted to feel the stinging because that means I’m still healing- all completely normal. I didn’t really need to travel back to Boston, but I worry a lot - mostly unnecessarily. But every time I worry, Dr. Spiegel listens, address my concerns and makes me feel better. I trust that if something was wrong, he would definitely tell me and make sure I get the attention I need. Dr. Spiegel is smart, caring and makes me laugh whenever I interact with him. He’s a great surgeon- just like my plastic surgeon back in New Jersey told me! My forehead looks very feminine now! I am very pleased with the results!

I have been looking forward to addressing my dysphoria for the last 20 years through FFS and I couldn’t be happier from start to finish with the Spiegel Center. In the process of starting my journey with FFS, I truly only wanted to have Dr. Spiegel as I believe his work speaks for itself as the best in the world - I was right to feel this way, as the results are beyond my expectations! I had completed forehead contouring, eyebrow lift, rhinoplasty & septoplasty, lift lip and augmentation, and mandible contouring - The results have made me feel like I finally see the person I’ve been my whole life. One thing that truly impressed me about my experience was the service that I received from start to finish. Eleanor was my first introduction and she was beyond helpful and empathetic with me as I had quite a few questions/follow-ups - love her! It’s amazing to see this business take the trans community/experience so seriously (something we rarely receive) by bringing in a transition specialist, Juliana. The power of having someone there to talk through their own experience was life changing. If you are a trans person looking for a team of experts who TRULY care, then I cannot express how important it is to consider Dr. Spiegel. I hope to stay in contact with the team and stop by every time I am in Boston. Many thanks to the people who changed my life along the way: Dr. Spiegel & fellow, Eleanor, Jess, Fabiano, Riley, & many more!

I had a great experience I recently had ffs with Dr Spiegel in Boston! I had a great experience. I will attach before and afters. What I had done: 1. Mandible contouring- the results are subtle but have had a significant impact. I feel like my face appears smaller and more feminine. I didn't experience much pain in my mandible, I did have to shave my face and that was very uncomfortable. It felt like I was plucking each hair. lol. I couldn't eat anything for probably 2 weeks but I did drink smoothies. I also mashed up noodles and had that but my daily intake was around 500 calories. I lost 20 pounds between surgery and home.... Im not mad about it! 2. Forehead- I went with forehead reconstruction and bc of my job as a nurse, I opted to have my incision placed behind the hairline. Unfortunately, I did end up losing a good grip of hair. After a few days of having my head wrapped, my hair got extremely tangled and there were two huge knots... I looked like princess Leia. one of the knots fell out while I was trying to get it out and the other one was removed with scissors. I am very appreciative of this surgery. I experienced more pain with this surgery. I read online that there would be minimal pain bc the area was supposed to be extremely numb. That wasn't my experience. only the right side of my head was numb but the left side was extremely tender and painful. Occasionally today I will feel some slight discomfort. Having the staples removed was fairly comfortable until the left side needed to be removed. Because the incision was in the hair, it was hard to see all of the staples and there were two that were missed. This happens sometimes. I just recommend that you feel through your hair to make sure that there aren't any staples left. I would 10/10 recommend Dr Spiegel for surgery. His work gave me the confidence to leave my job and get out into a different field. He is truly an artist.

The Best Decision I Ever Made! I cannot express enough how pleased I am with my experience with Dr. Spiegel. My coordinator, Carole, was an absolute gem. I had a forehead reduction and rhinoplasty. The results were absolutely amazing! I'm only two weeks after surgery, a lot of the swelling is down and my smooth forehead and smaller nose make me feel adorable and pretty in a way that I never thought possible. If you are thinking of getting surgery yourself, I cannot recommend Dr. Spiegel enough.

9 month post surgery update- I just had to come back and say after a basically full recovery I am over the moon about my results! I had some numbness in my scalp and certain areas that had been worked on but I'm very happy to say those have all had return of sensation, though if not it was a minor price I was willing to pay. Most importantly however, I can not express how incredible it is to really see myself in the mirror every day and be happy with what I see. My confidence has gotten so much better, there's so many days I don't even feel the need to put on makeup before I leave the house anymore

I had Facial Feminization Surgery performed by Dr. Spiegel because I heard he was the best in the world. I am only two months post-op but I am already in agreement with this! The cranioplasty or forehead reduction and rhinoplasty already look absolutely perfect. I am told it will take up to a year for the jaw and chin swelling to subside completely but I already see a huge improvement. The greatest aspect of Dr. Spiegel's work in my opinion is how natural, yet significant the feminization is. In other words I still look very much like "me" and people say that I look like a twin sister of my old self. Dr. Spiegel and his staff are very kind and respectful. The Doctor asked me which components of FFS that I prioritize before giving me his perspective. He was very, very welcoming and compassionate. My surgical coordinator was Carole Werner who was extremely sweet. She made everything incredibly easy on my part by filing my letters of recommendation, setting up consultations and delivering my surgery date. The rest of his staff were similarly respectful and kind. I recommend Dr. Spiegel 10 out of 10.

I had facial feminization surgery with Dr. Spiegel on November 15th. The results are everything I wanted and more. Eleanor Partee was my care coordinator and was absolutely wonderful to work with. If I ever get anything else done, I will go to Dr. Spiegel without question. I had forehead contouring with scalp advancement and brow lift, rhinoplasty, lip lift with augmentation, mandible contouring and liposuction in the neck and chin. I really couldn't be happier with the results. It's incredibly empowering to look in the mirror and finally be able to see the her.

I has a forehead reconstruction with brow lift and trachea shave done with Dr. Spiegel on March 2nd 2018 at Mount Auburn Hospital. I came all the way from Korea to see Dr. Spiegel because Korean surgeons can’t perform the type 3 forehead reconstruction I desperately needed. Not only did both procedures go perfectly, my experience at Mount Auburn Hospital was absolutely amazing. He performed the trachea shave in a very safe manner, and I have experienced no negative changes in voice what so ever. Dr. Spiegel performed the brow lift slightly differently for me and the result suits my Asian face perfectly. He also fixed the minor ptosis in my right brow. Also what amazes me is the incision for my forehead reconstruction was closed up so carefully that after one week I can barely see the actual scar line except the scabs around it. As it turned out Dr. Spiegel was surprised too, because he said most patients aren’t nearly as careful as me after the procedure and always stress the surgery spot and stretch out the scar tissue early in the recovery process. Not only was the staff at Mount Auburn Hospital super friendly, I was offered a single room with a beautiful view of the river. My first night was absolutely painless, and my swelling was minimal. Also, the paient coordinator Katie at Dr. Spiegel’s office is the best! She was always responding to emails promptly, and she helped me so much with billing and scheduling the surgery. I messed up the payment because I didn’t read the instructions carefully but Katie figured everything out and dispersed the payment for me. Thank you so much!! Overall, I am very impressed by Dr. Spiegel and his team. I’ll definitely come back if I need anything else in the future, thank you thank you!

What a talented surgeon! Dr. Spiegel performed FFS on me which included hairline advancement and forehead contouring. He also used the tissue removed for a lip augmentation. I am thrilled with the results. His staff such as Dorit and Carole are exceptional too.

I had a brow lift, scalp advancement, and a trachea shave. I looked into Dr. Spiegel because I'd read an article on him being featured as one of the best plastic surgeons one could find. Looking through his website, I knew I'd found the right doctor. I sent an initial inquiry through their online forum and within a day, Katie called me and was able to answer any and all of the initial questions I had to ask. I opted to have a consultation over Skype with the doctor. After listening to my concerns he suggested ways to fix the problems I'd listed. Past that I communicated with Kat for the months leading up to my surgery date. She was extremely resourceful, would answer my questions, and she was fast at replying; having interacted almost exclusively via email, it was a pleasant surprise. When I showed up for my pre-op visit, Kat was every bit as darling in person and walked me through my aftercare in depth. When I met Dr. Spiegel, he was positive and reassured me that everything would go just as well as I knew it would. The day of the surgery, the staff at the Boston Medical Center was warm and comforting. Dr. Spiegel came in to reassure me one last time before I was rolled off to the operating room. I was able to stop taking heavy painkillers on the first night of recovery and managed on Tylenol for the remainder of the week my head tingled. I was shocked how little I'd swelled--my eyes deepened and my trachea was a little puffed for the week but I was pretty much normal after that! When I came back to the Spiegel Center for my post-operative visit to have my staples removed, Kat, Dr. Spiegel, and one of the surgeons that had worked with him came to admire their work. I already felt so beautiful, and the amount of compliments the staff had given me, it made the experience that much more memorable. It's been five weeks since I've had surgery and I feel amazing. I really couldn't have asked for better and I can't wait to see how much better yet this'll get!

I had a great experience having FFS with Dr. Spiegel. When I decided to seek an FFS surgeon my number one priority was to find a surgeon with a proven track record and natural results. It’s your face after all! He was attentive in the consult and thorough in answering my questions. The procedures I had done were forehead contouring, eyebrow lift, rhinoplasty, fat transfer to the cheeks, and mandible contouring. I relied on Dr. Spiegel’s judgement for the rhinoplasty and mandible, since I knew I wanted them changed but had a hard time articulating how. The results are just what I hoped for: a face noticeably more feminine but definitely my own. If you can work with the folks that the Spiegel Center, I would highly recommend it. (By the way they work with Harvard Pilgrim.)

I have been looking forward to addressing my dysphoria for the last 20 years through FFS and I couldn’t be happier from start to finish with the Spiegel Center. In the process of starting my journey with FFS, I truly only wanted to have Dr. Spiegel as I believe his work speaks for itself as the best in the world - I was right to feel this way, as the results are beyond my expectations! I had completed forehead contouring, eyebrow lift, rhinoplasty & septoplasty, lift lip and augmentation, and mandible contouring - The results have made me feel like I finally see the person I’ve been my whole life. One thing that truly impressed me about my experience was the service that I received from start to finish. Eleanor was my first introduction and she was beyond helpful and empathetic with me as I had quite a few questions/follow-ups - love her! It’s amazing to see this business take the trans community/experience so seriously (something we rarely receive) by bringing in a transition specialist, Juliana. The power of having someone there to talk through their own experience was life changing. If you are a trans person looking for a team of experts who TRULY care, then I cannot express how important it is to consider Dr. Spiegel. I hope to stay in contact with the team and stop by every time I am in Boston. Many thanks to the people who changed my life along the way: Dr. Spiegel & fellow, Eleanor, Jess, Fabiano, Riley, & many more!

I had an unbelievably amazing experience with Dr. Spiegel and his team at The Spiegel Center. I heard about Doctor Spiegel online and his work with FFS. I was only looking for a mandible contouring procedure and he had a very good reputation for them. I called and scheduled a consultation and that’s where I first met Dr. Spiegel. He not only presented me with all the options to make my jawline look the way I wanted, but he also made an effort to get to know me. When I shared with him that I was a nursing student pursuing a career in psych nursing he told me stories about his psych clinical rotation. He not only made the effort to get to know my goals for my face, but also went the extra mile to get to know me as a person which made me feel so much more confident in choosing him to do my procedure over other doctors I consulted with. Next, I met Carole, an absolute angel. She was there for me throughout the entire process with any questions I had and worked scheduling miracles so I could have the procedure done before I started my semester. I had my procedure done at the Newton Surgery location and Dr. Spiegel’s team there was incredible as well. About 3 days post op I had some pain in my lips because I had wrapped my bandages too tight (totally an error on my part). At about 8pm on Sunday I sent Carole a non-urgent email just to let her know I was going to call the next morning to ask if pain in my lips was normal. She emailed me back right away and Dr. Spiegel himself called me with in 5 minutes to make sure I was okay. He had me send him photos and he recognized that I had put the bandage back on too tight. He advised I take the bandage off and the issue immediately corrected itself. I could not be more thrilled with my results. I wasn’t looking for a dramatic change, I just wanted my jawline to look more symmetrical. My family and myself noticed the amazing difference and how much better my face looked. The difference was also subtle enough that people I don’t see every day weren’t able to notice that I had any work done. There was no scarring and I look so beautiful and natural, just a more enhanced version of myself. The people who did know I had the procedure done and saw my before and after photos were floored by what a difference it made in how much better I looked even though it was such a minor change. Since I had my mandible contouring done at The Spiegel Center, three of the people who saw my results have also booked procedures there. Three months after my mandible contouring The Spiegel Center called me to let me know they had an opening for me to get a rhinoplasty because they remembered that I had briefly mentioned I was interested in doing one back at my original consultation. I just had my rhinoplasty, and it came out exactly how I wanted. I have now had 2 procedures at the Spiegel Center with Dr. Spiegel that have gone above and beyond my expectations in every way. I cannot speak highly enough of Dr Spiegel both for his surgical skills and his bedside manner, and the same for his entire team at The Spiegel Center, especially Carole. Thank you all so much for taking such great care of me and all your effort to make this such a positive experience for me!

Great Results! Dr. Spiegel performed my facial feminization surgery in mid-June (mandible & forehead contouring). I wanted to wait a bit after my surgery so I could be more sure of the results as they say that about every 3 months, they look better. I've certainly found that to be true. Dr. Spiegel did an excellent job feminizing those features & I feel much more comfortable with my face & how people view me. Healing was remarkably quick & pain-free (just tylenol after day of surgery) and the scar within my hairline is almost invisible just a few months later. Numbness went away after about two months for my scalp and mostly back to normal by 3 months for my chin (still some reduced/strange sensation but mostly not noticeable). My only difficulties came in trying to collect the information and get their office to fill out forms my insurance required for reimbursement. Most of those difficulties came from the side of my insurance company (BCBS) but it took multiple months of emailing back & forth to get all the documentation I needed for insurance approval. Dr. Spiegel himself was great & did an excellent job answering any questions I had, though he often seemed rushed/short on time as I was going through the questions I had after my initial consultation. Overall, I would highly recommend his work & I'm very happy with my results almost 6 months out. (As others have said, I've also had a lot of people - myself included - who've noticed how much I look like my sister now).

Working with Dr. Spiegel and staff was an amazing experience. I knew from the moment that I went in for my consultation that it was the place I would choose for my surgery. Everyone there is kind, friendly, and compassionate, especially the patient coordinators Carole and Uzma. I had mandible contour, forehead reduction, trachea shave, rhinoplasty, cheek implants and browlift and so far my results have been amazing. Dr. Spiegel is confident, precise, and he accommodates your expectations in a realistic and friendly manner. Both he and the staff are warm and hospitable and made my mother and I feel like Boston was our home away from how while we were there. I greatly enjoyed my time there, and if I ever need a future procedure done, I will go back to Boston! )

I travelled from Virginia to Boston to have mandible contouring by Dr Spiegel and I must say it was the best descision I have ever made. I am very happy with my results going into my second week and I can already see the difference. Every one of his staff was very friendly and welcome. Carole my surgical coordinator went above and beyond to accommodate and I am so pleased with her. If any one is considering facial feminization surgery I please highly recommend Dr Spiegel. He's very patient and very kind, listens to your desires and makes suggestions. He is such a down-to-earth doctor with a witty sense of humor. I am so honored to have met him and glad I didn't make that trip to South Korea (famous for facial feminization surgeries).

I went to The Spiegel Center in 2020 for a full round of FFS. I was extremely nervous going into it as it was a major procedure that required a lot of paperwork and travel, but working with Carole and the staff at Spiegel Center, everything went so smoothly and efficiently it was almost like auto-pilot. The center itself is clean and easily located with lots of local housing and airbnbs, which made it easy to stay around for my return visits. The area itself is very cute with lots of culture and things to see and do leading up to the day. I was amazed at how clean and comfortable the center itself was and the Staff really helped me feel at ease throughout the entire process. I had heard rumors that Dr. Spiegel was one of the go-tos for FFS procedures. He had helped a friend of mine with her FFS and she was beautiful and recommended him, so I reached out and he got back to me in great timing for a free consultation. Having no experience of my own in the selection of which directions to go with surgically, I relied on careful advice from my consult with him to get the best look possible. I gave Dr. Spiegel full control to use his expertise and come up with a solid plan and direction for me and I was so happy with the results! My jawline, hairline, and new nose have completely changed my life. My side profile went from horrendous to very feminine, and the entire structure of my face is nearly indistinguishable from the blatant male markers I was cursed with prior. I kept in touch with Spiegel and his staff all throughout my recovery (they even sent me roses which was a sweet gesture) Any healing concerns or questions were quickly answered with respect and comfort and I always felt like they were guiding my softly along with a sort of expertise not often found in the modern medical establishment. Prior to my surgery with Dr. Spiegel I had been transitioning to female since 2009 but I never passed as flawlessly in my entire lifetime as I do now. It's changed the way I interact with everyone around me and boosted my confidence unlocking a new life I never thought possible before. This may seem like a sort of hammy review, but I just wanted to get it out there that Dr. Spiegel is amazing and I highly recommend him for FFS and trans related procedures. Thanks to the Spiegel team for everything!

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.

I first came to The Spiegel Center for Facial Feminization Surgery (FFS) in 2019. After a positive experience, I returned two times — first, for a lip lift in 2022, and most recently this past summer for a tracheal shave. Dr. Spiegel listened to my needs and made sure I felt comfortable throughout all three experiences. Aside from Dr. Spiegel, the true highlight for me has been my Patient Care Coordinator, Carole Werner. She is an absolute gem and makes you feel so welcomed (and remembers the little details … always asks how my grandmother is doing, etc). My experiences at The Spiegel Center have been positive and I’m very happy with all three surgical results! 💎

I've recently had three procedures at the Spiegel Center and couldn't be happier with the results. I had breast augmentation with Dr. Shektman and I'm incredibly happy with the results and my new look..I also had VFS(voice feminization and a tracheal reduction procedure with Dr. Spiegel. I can't thank Dr. Spiegel enough for the incredible improvement in my voice- For the first time in my life, I have a voice I feel matches who I am and one I'm comfortable projecting and hearing. I'd also like to give a shout out to the office staff at the Spiegel Center, especially Eleanor(the patient coordinator) and to Faith and the other medical assistants, all of whom went out of their way to make me feel comfortable. If you're looking to enhance or bring out the real you, I highly recommend the Spiegel Center. Chances are, they have just the procedure you've been looking for.

I had decided to have rhinoplasty and a trachea shave and was referred to Dr. Spiegel as one who has "wonderful results." My referral could not have been more accurate. It's been three weeks since the surgery and I have mostly recovered. I love the results and highly recommend Dr. Spiegel. He is clear, direct, empathetic, and an excellent surgeon. The process from my initial consultation to post-op care was managed by Uzma Husain, a Patient Coordinator at the Spiegel Center. She is wonderful to work with and I also highly recommend her. The staff at the Newton Surgical Center is also fantastic.

I couldn't be happier with the results and quality of treatment I received at the Spiegel center. Through every step of the process, they made me feel comfortable + reassured - something that's difficult for me as surgical things tend to freak me out. I went in for a tracheal shave, and they were extremely accommodating - taking me through the payment and preparation process, never making me feel uncertain or lost. The patient coordinator, Carole, was very friendly, and took the upmost care to make sure my correct name and pronouns were used. Dr. Spiegel's work was top-of-the-line. I had a very pronounced trachea, and he made it virtually disappear, with a very easy healing process afterwards. A warm shoutout as well to Dr. Eric, the anesthesiologist, and Fabiano, who's incredible bed side manner and quality of work I cannot overstate. I would definitely come back to the Spiegel center for all other trans-related surgeries!

Very Happy with my Tracheal Shave!!Dr. Spiegel’s team is very professional, efficient and great at what they do. Carole, my coordinator, was always available and she walked me through the entire process of tracheal shave, from consultations, lab work, insurance, to the surgery itself and post op. Her proficiency and thorough knowledge of what was involved helped calm my nerves. Dr. Spiegel is kind, direct to the point, no fluff and an artist!!

Dr. Spiegel is the best in the world. That is a simple fact. I am a physician who looked at all the options, then had FFS in September 2018, and vocal feminization in May 2019. I could not be happier with the elegant work. With one life to live and one chance to have these life-altering procedures, I could not have made a better choice. The journey with these gifted people has been remarkably uplifting and life-changing. I would not go anywhere else.

I am a 48 year Trans woman. I wanted to reduce the size of my Adam's apple and the square cartilage at the bottom of my throat. Dr. Spiegel was highly recommended by my gender therapist for his outstanding surgical and stiching skills. The results are great and I am very happy. My throat is not an area of concern anymore and it gives me additional confidence to be myself.

I decided to have trachea shave surgery to help me attain the look I desired. Any surgery is a scary proposition for me but this went smoothly and without any problems. The process from start to finish was simple and easy. I was treated with respect the whole time; by the doctor, his staff, and by hospital personnel. The cost while not inexpensive was acceptable. As time goes on I am so happy I had it done. The cost does not include the lab work and EKG that I had done with my primary doctor. Your cost may vary for these services. None of this was covered by my insurance, but I knew it wouldn't be.

Dr. Spiegel is a world class professional. I’m in my late 30s and had VFS with him in 2022 and FFS 10 weeks ago and have gotten past all of my healing. I had mandible and forehead contouring (with face lift), lip, and cheek augmentation. Everything is going as planned! My forehead was immediately smoother and jaw still has minor swelling as expected but I can’t stop looking at my face and thinking “I’m so cute!” The cool part is that when you get mandible contouring you get to see your results settle over time just like on the website pictures.

I’m two weeks post op from my first experience receiving cosmetic surgery from the very talented Dr Spiegel. I had jaw contouring, lower lid blepharoplasty, lip lift, and a chin revision, and am overjoyed with my results so far! Recovery was exactly as Dr Spiegel described and had gone quite smoothly. The staff at The Spiegel center are all wonderful, especially my patient care coordinator Uzma, who was not just helpful but caring and a delight to work with! The only hitch in my surgery was that I was delayed in arriving at the surgery center (in the same building as Dr Spiegel’s clinic - super convenient!) by an entire hour (totally my fault!). Instead of rescheduling me they expedited my pre-op care and everything continued without a problem. This took me from a virtual panic attack to massive relief. I cannot imagine other places & practitioners being so accommodating. These are just lovely people who do a great job and care about their patients. I will be returning for another procedure with Dr Spiegel soon with a feeling of total confidence. Update: since posting this I have had several more surgeries with Dr Spiegel - deep plane facelift, vocal feminization surgery - and each one has reinforced my opinion that Dr Spiegel and his team are the best in the business. As before, my healing was uncomplicated, the good doctor delivered exactly what he said he would, and I couldn't be happier with the results! Again, special mentions go out to my wonderful care coordinator, Uzma, and Juliana, the gender transition specialist on staff, who is a great resource. Thanks again, Spiegel Center!

I booked Voice Feminization Surgery through the Spiegel Center in Newton, Massachusetts. I went into surgery around 3pm and came out around 5:30. It was a fairly quick recovery and I was able to slowly start speaking after the month was up. I am showing progress every day as time goes on.

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 an older trans woman who is just three weeks post my fourth procedure with the lovely folks at the Spiegel Center and am happy with the results, as always! Yes, four procedures (to be accurate, four surgeries, with multiple procedures during each of the surgeries) - I've had mandible contouring, lip lift, brow lift, lower eye lift in the first surgery; deep plane face lift in the second, hair grafting in the third, and breast augmentation and vocal feminization in the fourth. I originally consulted with Dr Spiegel to see if he could improve on a facial feminization surgery I had 21 years ago - and he deftly met the challenge! I am very happy with the results in my face and now my voice, as well as the nice increase in my breast size (and beauty) courtesy of Dr Spiegel’s colleague, Dr Shektman! But that’s not all! I also had skin rejuvenation with Dr Onir at the Spiegel Center - IPL and Facial Fractional Radiofrequency Microneedling (Morpheus8). The results have been quite pleasing, and am happy to have met and been under the able care of Dr Onir. So you could say i am a Spiegel fan, and i am a discerning consumer, and have done my research. Dr Spiegel and his colleagues are the best! i have experienced no complications with any of my procedures, much less discomfort that I had been expecting, especially with the extended deep plane facelift. The concern shown by staff at the Spiegel Center has also been warm and affirming each time, and the medical staff at the attached Newton Surgery Center are also fabulous. I also want to make special mention of the Spiegel Center’s newest member, Juliana Wall, who is their Transition Counselor, the first such position at a plastic surgery center in the US. She is so warm, friendly, and knowledgeable, and as a trans woman herself, speaks with personal experience. I love Juliana! You won’t be disappointed if you are a trans woman and receive feminizing procedures at the Spiegel Center!

I am posting this under FFS because there is no treatment option in realself for VFS and Dr. Spiegel does do FFS as well. To be clear, the below review is for VFS not FFS. I am extremely happy with my Voice Feminization Surgery (VFS) result. I had VFS with Dr. Spiegel because I trusted him. Specifically, I had been following his work for over a decade and admired his years of experience helping people live their authentic lives. I might have considered looking into the other popular clinic in South Korea but due to COVID my first reaction was to look locally for surgeons who might perform the same procedure locally in the states. I was delighted to see that Dr. Spiegel did, who I had already been following for almost a decade for his well known work in FFS. Carole and Dr. Spiegel helped me decide the right procedures for me (I was considering possibly getting FFS as well at the time but will probably do so in the future) and I decided on just getting VFS for now. I had an already trained voice at a steady 170hz avg speaking, androgynous/femme passing voice - never gendered incorrectly. However, I didn't like my voice on the phone or recordings. I spend most of my life on Zoom calls for work and have to listen to recordings often. After following his strict instructions (not talking, taking it easy, etc...) I wanted to wait at least 6 months before writing a review. At the 6 month point my voice is now on average 190-210hz depending on how much coffee I've had (lol) using the same amount of effort I did before and I am MUCH happier with my voice in recordings. My voice rarely gets tired anymore either as when I am tired I am less concerned about keeping up a trained femme voice. Given, results are not always guaranteed in this surgery (with any surgeon) just due to all of the many variables with voice - Dr. Spiegel did not try to convince me that I would 100% have the results I wanted. He was very honest and I appreciate that honesty. He also has had a lot of success over the many years he has been doing this procedure and could speak to that success which gave me the confidence to undertake the procedure. For ANY surgeon doing VFS I wouldn't recommend you do this until you've trained your voice and spent good effort trying to raise your pitch yourself. Once you've reached that point VFS could be the answer you need, it was for me and many others.

I had the most wonderful experience with Dr. Spiegel, Carole and the whole team at The Spiegel Center. I came from out of town for a vocal chord procedure that outside of South Korea, very few doctors do and everything came out exactly as I had hoped for. I'm healed for 6 months and everything happened as planned with me following Dr. Spiegel's recovery instructions. I'm grateful for my experience and hope to go back to Dr. Spiegel again for a different procedure in the future.

I've recently had three procedures at the Spiegel Center and couldn't be happier with the results. I had breast augmentation with Dr. Shektman and I'm incredibly happy with the results and my new look..I also had VFS(voice feminization and a tracheal reduction procedure with Dr. Spiegel. I can't thank Dr. Spiegel enough for the incredible improvement in my voice- For the first time in my life, I have a voice I feel matches who I am and one I'm comfortable projecting and hearing. I'd also like to give a shout out to the office staff at the Spiegel Center, especially Eleanor(the patient coordinator) and to Faith and the other medical assistants, all of whom went out of their way to make me feel comfortable. If you're looking to enhance or bring out the real you, I highly recommend the Spiegel Center. Chances are, they have just the procedure you've been looking for.

I had a phenomenal surgical experience with Dr. Spiegel and the Spiegel Center. I had a great relationship with my surgical representative and she was so understanding and helpful when it came to paperwork, finances, logistics, etc. The nurses were so kind and reassuring, as this was my first surgery ever. And, of course, Dr. Spiegel is a kind professional who knows what he is doing. I'm healing well from the amazing procedure I had, and I am so excited that I am feeling more like myself 🙂 thank you!

I had voice feminizing surgery with Dr. Spiegel on Nov. 18th, 2021. It Is January 05, 2022 and I am leaving my review. Nearly 7 weeks out and my voice has become much more feminine and has stayed that way. Now it’s time for it to smooth out and I have maintained the higher pitch and no lower male resonation has returned. I am so thankful for Dr. Spiegel and all of his team. The I went in for the procedure that was 7 staff present and my lead nurse, well he was awesome. All of his staff are wonderful, accepting and caring. I am having FFS in 2022 and after my voice surgery, Dr. Spiegel and his team is the only choice for me. Carole Werner works in Dr. Spiegel’s office and is awesome. She helped me from the beginning until the end. She is a guide a coach and over better than a year she helped me get everything that I needed and has checked on me since my surgery. My surgery was outpatient and I was unable to talk for 3 weeks, the even after my surgery, my nurse called my wife to check on me and done this for several more days. I could. Ot have asked or prayed for a more professional surgeon or staff. Thank you to all the staff Dana “Scorpio” from NC

I have had both VFS and FFS with Dr. Spiegel. The staff is kind and very friendly. Dr. Spiegel is extremely professional and answered all of my questions. He listens to his patients. He is by far the only cosmetic surgeon I trust and I recommend him strongly.

The Spiegel Center, Dr. Shektman, and Carole were amazing. I have been waiting to have breast implants since pre-COVID. I was waiting for an opening, and it feels like they went above and beyond to find space in their schedules to make this happen. The pre-op preparation, paperwork and forms, consults, all were timely and clear, and I went into the surgery center ready and relaxed. The results? I am over the moon with how they came out. :) I had FFS done in 2015, and knew that the reputation and results were behind everything they do, and it was well worth it. My confidence has already boosted, and I'm shopping for clothes I never thought I would be able to wear.Thank you, thank you :)

I had a simultaneous facial feminization surgery with Dr. Spiegel and breast augmentation with Dr. Shektman at the Spiegel Center a little over a month ago. And honestly, to say that I'm happier would be an understatement - these surgeries have done a complete 180 on my self-image and mental health and I couldn't be more satisfied with the outcome! For the first time in my life since I remember being conscious, I'm able to look in the mirror, smile, and truly love what I see! I'm finally looking forward to the next chapter of my life, where I can live the life I should have always had in the body that I should have always had. Not only are the results amazing, but the whole process was so smooth and simple, from initially scheduling a consultation, fitting in two surgeries at once, having pre-op and post-op visits, and being able to call for help at any time. On top of that, every single person I interacted with at the Spiegel Center (especially Carole!) from the moment I set my foot in were exceptionally kind and caring - this was very important to me as it helped to establish a level of trust that I needed to feel comfortable proceeding with surgery. I'll forever be grateful to Dr. Spiegel and his team for their incredible work!!

The Spiegel Center has been amazing in taking care of my surgical and esthetic needs! I've had facial feminization surgery, breast augmentation, botox and filler, and I couldn't be happier with the results! I plan on going back for any further needs I have and continuing being a regular client.

I've had two surgeries here, FFS and top surgery, as well as electrolysis. The staff and surgeons are top-notch. Post-surgery, Fabio was an amazing nurse, always available to answer any questions by text or voice for several days after surgery. Uzma was my surgical coordinator. She was, and continues to be, amazing. For electrolysis April was my coordinator. She was and continues to be, wonderful as well. The electrologist was also raising the bar. I can't say enough positive things about the staff, Dr. Spiegel, or his better half, Dr. O.

I've recently had three procedures at the Spiegel Center and couldn't be happier with the results. I had breast augmentation with Dr. Shektman and I'm incredibly happy with the results and my new look..I also had VFS(voice feminization and a tracheal reduction procedure with Dr. Spiegel. I can't thank Dr. Spiegel enough for the incredible improvement in my voice- For the first time in my life, I have a voice I feel matches who I am and one I'm comfortable projecting and hearing. I'd also like to give a shout out to the office staff at the Spiegel Center, especially Eleanor(the patient coordinator) and to Faith and the other medical assistants, all of whom went out of their way to make me feel comfortable. If you're looking to enhance or bring out the real you, I highly recommend the Spiegel Center. Chances are, they have just the procedure you've been looking for.

The entire staff here has been just amazing. From the first consultation until my latest (but certainly not last) procedure, I've been treated with respect, kindness, and the utmost care. Dr. Spiegel knew exactly what my facial feminization surgery should entail, and never pressured me for anything more than what was necessary. He put me at ease, and his expertise gave me the features I've been dreaming of. Dr. Shektman's breast augmentation also turned out perfect. I love my new figure! Dr. Onir is amazing - she provided excellent care when I went in for botox, and I'll be returning for filler very soon. Eleanor (my patient coordinator) and the rest of the staff have been incredible. Whether it's answering my endless questions, working around my scheduling, or just reassurance, the staff here has provided excellent service and care. I'll be doing all my future procedures here, without a doubt. EDIT: 6 Months later: It's been six months, and the results continue to get better and better! Everything has healed wonderfully, and I was almost shocked when seeing an older picture of myself the other day. I feel great - all of the pain and numbness have totally subsided, and the transformation continually blows me away. I would recommend anyone considering Facial Feminization Surgery to consult with Dr. Spiegel.

I recently received a non-surgical rhinoplasty and botox with Onir a few weeks ago and I've been ecstatic with the results. She and the rest of the staff at the clinic made each experience a breeze and answered all my questions and concerns well. It was my first time doing a cosmetic procedure and they made me feel very comfortable with the whole process. The results look natural, and I've never been happier with my nose. Today, I went and had the first of my CoolSculpting sessions and had yet another pleasant experience. I am looking forward to my next experience with The Spiegel Center!

I usually visit the Spiegel Center for Botox with Dr. Onir and also laser hair removal. I recently decided that I wanted to try fat freezing. Like many women, I hold excess fat in my lower abdomen. It has been there my whole life, but became more noticeable after having kids. It seemed that no matter how much weight I lost I still had this protruding belly! I was nervous the day of my first treatment. Mostly scared that it would hurt or be uncomfortable, but also that it wouldn’t work. Dr. Onir explained what the procedure would feel like and made me feel at ease. She also explained that while the procedure is effective, it could take several treatments in the lower belly area as it is a difficult spot, particularly for women. Once the device was attached, there was a strong suction as the fat squeezed up in the machine. There was heat at first that eventually turned cold. It felt strange, but not painful. It was not difficult to sit through the 45 minute session. Uzma, the Aesthetics Care Coordinator, checked in with me several times and continued to make sure that I was comfortable. Post treatment there was a little soreness, but nothing exceptional. No need for Tylenol or pain killers. In a couple of weeks I noticed that my pants were just slightly easier to button, so definitely a positive sign. I have two additional treatments scheduled and I’m looking forward to seeing the results in a month or two.

Everyone at the Spiegel Center has been so kind and helpful. I have had the Pleasure of working with many of the staff and providers. Treatments are always preformed with great care and never rushed. The care coordinators and providers are always available to answer any questions and the office staff are always there to make sure you are comfortable. The procedures I have had have always been highly effective with outstanding results. Including botox, Morpheus8, mole removal and Tummy Tuck.

I wanted to share my review before my final results are even in! I am a tummy tuck patient who had my surgery at Spiegel Surgical Center with Dr. Shektman. First I met Dr. Spiegel who was very welcoming and informative. So important when making this kind of decision. Also the surgical staff at Spiegel is top. The morning of my surgery I was greeted by a wonderful surgical assistant "Pinky" I felt so safe and cared for. Uzma Husain the patient coordinator is amazing. From beginning to end she was there for me answering any questions making my experience very personal and safe. I highly recommend!
