Boston Hernia - Michael Reinhorn MD FACS

It has been about six weeks since my surgery. I waited for over three years to address the hernia simply because I dreaded the surgery and read about too many issues resulting from it. As a result my hernia became very large and more painful. Luckily, I researched and discovered Dr. Reinhorn and his hernia practice that specializes in hernia repair. He was reasuring, kind and I felt in very good hands because he is so well qualified. I went through a day surgery at the surgery center. Everyone was respectful and caring. My fears were quickly allayed once I was there and felt in such competent care with the whole team. Dr. Reinhorn explained that day how the surgery would go and what to expect after surgery including any swelling or pain so that I wouldnt freak out. The first week I only needed Advil/Tylenol for the pain. Dr. Reinhorn and his assistant did a fantastic job, the scar was minimal, and now it is barely noticeable, and after two weeks the swelling went down and I felt almost back to normal. Now I am back working out, weight lifting and running, and my abdomen looks like it did before the hernia. There is only a little tenderness which is slowly getting better. I only wish I had done this procedure three years ago as it would have saved me so much anxiety, pain, and depression. Dr. Reinhorn and his team are the best and I am so grateful to them for my great care and results!

Great Surgeon. Dr Reinhorn is very knowledgeable. He addresses all your concerns and questions. He Is an expert in this area of surgeries and is up-to-date with the latest surgical techniques. I had an inguinal hernia. My surgery had no issues. I had no postop pain and did not need any kind of pain medication. I took all the care doctor provided and was working and driving the first week and resumed my activities in 2 weeks.

Dr. Reinhorn is the surgeon you should choose to repair your hernia. He has more than 20 years taking excellent care of his many patients. In my case, Dr. Reinhorn literally had to reconstruct my abdominal wall, in order to correct a failed hernia surgery from 10 years ago.

I am now three weeks following an inguinal hernia repair. The postoperative pain lasted just a few days and was not severe. I am now back to running for exercise with no pain of distress. I am very pleased. The office staff has been very helpful and friendly.

I had Shouldice inguinal hernia repair on Sept.29 2022. Originally i wanted mesh but Dr. Reinhorn suggested Shouldice non mesh repair because I previously had HIFU ( High Frequency Ultrasound) prostate cancer treatment. My incision was only about 6 inches and three days after surgery I've stopped taking any pain medicine. i only used Advil and Tylenol but I have some suggestions for others. I was nervous about using too much Tylenol given the danger to one's liver so I only took one or two 325mg pills- not the extra strength. I took three 200 mg Advil but please be aware of constipation from Ibuprofin. In fact, the constipation surprisingly has been the biggest pain! I knew that hydrocodone made you constipated but I've learned that ibuprofin does as well. Take a laxative, lots of water, etc but I'd actually recommend keeping the Advil to only two 200 mg pills if possible for your pain. All in all I am VERY pleased with my surgery and I strongly recommend that you have surgery with Dr. Reinhorn. He is really the best !
