Dr. Michael Reinhorn, MD

In my opinion, Dr. Reinhorn is a very skilled and experienced surgeon. And everyone in the office does a fantastic job of working with every patient. I felt I was respected as a patient, and every question I asked was answered. I was fully informed during the whole process. Be sure to take advantage of the short videos created by Dr. Reinhorn explaining what to expect before, during, and after the surgery.

I cannot say enough great things about Dr. Michael Reinhorn and the team at Boston Hernia. From my very first consultation, Dr. Reinhorn was thorough, patient, and incredibly knowledgeable. He took the time to clearly explain both my umbilical and inguinal hernias, the recommended repair approach, and what to expect before, during, and after surgery. I immediately felt I was in expert hands. The surgery itself went smoothly, and my recovery has exceeded my expectations. The discomfort was there as expected but it’s was far less than I anticipated. Dr. Reinhorn’s skill and experience was evident every step of the way. Beyond his surgical expertise, his bedside manner truly stands out. He could see I was nervous about the surgery and help set my mind at ease as much as he could. He is compassionate, approachable, and genuinely cares about his patients’ and their outcomes. The entire office staff have been kind and professional, organized, and supportive throughout the process.

My whole experience with Dr Reinhorn and his team was flawless from start to finish. From my first consultation, to my diagnosis and explanation of my inguinal hernia surgery options, to my surgery scheduling, procedure and post-op, all were flawless. Every step of the way, everything was described and explained to me. I was also directed to their vast online resources which answered any questions or concerns that I had and made the whole process very pleasant. Anyone suspecting or experiencing a hernia, would be well served to give Dr Reinhorn and his team a call, as their professionalism, experience and knowledge would be a benefit to anyone needing their help.

I initially went to Dr. Reinhorn six years ago for an umbilical hernia. I was scheduled for an operation, but became concerned about mesh and put it off. Six years later, my umbilical hernia had grown larger, and I also had two inguinal hernias to deal with. At this point, I decided to listen to the expert surgeon who does 500 hernia surgeries a year instead of random online naysayers, and followed Dr. Reinhorn's recommendation for open surgery with mesh. A month later, I feel very silly having worried about mesh for so long. Even after a triple hernia procedure, I experienced just a few days of very manageable pain immediately after surgery, and that soon dissipated. A little over a month later, I am cleared to resume all activities, including resistance training. It's a relief to no longer be self-conscious about my formerly grotesquely giant belly button and strange groin lumps. Don't put it off like I did. Just do it.

I am very grateful to have my hernia repair done by Dr. Reinhorn and his staff. Everyone was impressively professional, kind, and skilled. The surgery experience far exceeded my high hopes for quality and professionalism. They were all consummate medical professionals. Two months out and it is healing nicely. Thank you Dr. Reinhorn.

I am thrilled to leave this review for the best doctor in New England. This was my first surgery, and the experience exceeded all my expectations. You guided me through every step and made everything feel easy and stress-free, removing all fear and anxiety. Thank you once again. I also extend my warmest greetings to your entire team for their commitment, dedication, and professionalism.

Fantastic. I can't say enough positive things about the Dr. and his practice.

Surgery was great, with a fast recovery. Dr. Reinhorn knows what he is doing. No pain afterwards, no exaggeration. I took some over-the-counter pain meds (ty-le-nol, etc), ... thats it. His technique or a fast recovery hernia operation is amazing, and I wa very happy to wake up clear headed, and was gingerly walking up stairs the same day, and doing so easily on the next day. I've recommended him to several friends already.

I had a great experience with my hernia repair by Dr Reinhorn. He provided detailed information about the procedure and recovery process prior to surgery. I had my surgery at Newton Wellesley Hospital and it was a great experience. I was back to work after 3 weeks

I received a Shouldice Repair from Dr. Reinhorn in February of this year (2025). My only regret is waiting so long to have the surgery. I wanted a non-mesh repair and nearly traveled to Toronto to the Shouldice Clinic before discovering Boston Hernia and receiving a consult with Dr. Reinhorn, who immediately gained my confidence. He is patient in his explanations, amicable, and honest about all expectations. Most importantly, he is a highly skilled surgeon. (Naturally an open surgery leaves one with a larger scar, but Dr. Reinhorn's incision was not only smaller than I expected but very clean and straight.) The facility he contracts out with is also excellent and staffed by attentive and kind nurses. His post-operative care and the quality of his staff at Boston Hernia is also outstanding. If you are looking for a non-mesh hernia repair I cannot recommend Dr. Reinhorn highly enough.
