THE NOSE KNOWS I was facing something that had quietly become overwhelming. My nose had collapsed to the point where breathing through it was nearly impossible. Nights were restless. My ear felt constantly blocked. And the solutions I was being offered felt... drastic. One highly regarded local surgeon told me my case was so extreme that cartilage would need to be taken from my ear to rebuild my nose. He warned my nose would widen significantly and look very different. I was willing to accept that. I just wanted to breathe again. And also my hearing was lessening. I wanted to be able to hear again thinking maybe that they were related. But something in me hesitated. Then I remembered Dr. Jacob Tower. Years earlier, I had met him when he was at Lahey Clinic. A deeply respected ear, nose, and throat specialist with extraordinary skill in facial aesthetics. I reached out, and he responded immediately. From our very first conversation, everything changed. Dr. Tower didn't just see a "difficult case." He saw a better path. He explained clearly, thoughtfully, and with remarkable depth, what was actually happening, and how he could restore not just structure, but function... and quality of life. He invited me to come see him right away at The Spiegel Center. What he offered was simpler. Smarter. And far more elegant. I booked surgery on the spot. Three weeks ago today, he performed it. I remember waking up. For the first time in years, breathing fully through my nose. Effortlessly. Quietly. Completely. There were no overwhelming nasal packings, no dramatic bruising. Quite nothing like I had been warned to expect. Even more surprising... everything started to come back to life. The pressure in my ear disappeared. My hearing sharpened. One moment I'll never forget! I heard my cat meowing from the garage while I was upstairs. I hadn't realized how much I'd been missing until that instant. I ran downstairs, ready to free the cat in the garage so many times as she would follow me in and I didn't hear her cry to come out. Unaware and muted. Yes, my nose shape changed slightly. It had to. But in the hands of Dr. Tower who is not only a surgeon but truly an artist, the result is natural, balanced, and thoughtful. Not "different" in a way that takes from you, but refined in a way that gives something back. And that's what he does. He gives people their lives back...in ways they didn't even realize they had lost. At just three weeks out, I can say without hesitation: this changed my life. My deepest respect and gratitude to Dr. Jacob Tower and his exceptional team at The Spiegel Center. I've been around aesthetics long enough to recognize true excellence when I see it. And this is it. I cannot recommend him highly enough!! read more

amazing! the absolute best. talented and so caring every step of the way. I would never go anywhere else after such wonderful care and results. read more

I have worked with Dr. Spiegel since 2010, and I do not have enough great things to say. Their team has literally made my life and career possible as a trans woman. I'm 48 now, and I've never felt better about myself. The before and after pictures of my jaw, particularly are stunning. I've worked on everything with them, from hair to skin to having my entire face reshaped. They've never treated me with anything but respect, and I see them as a true partner in achieving my surgical goals. read more

I am writing to file a formal complaint regarding the medical care I received from Dr. Jeffrey Spiegel, who performed a neck lift surgery on me, followed by two revision surgeries. This letter reflects my personal experience and concerns about the quality of care, the surgical outcomes, and the handling of my postoperative issues. My initial neck lift showed visible problems immediately after the procedure. I returned to Dr. Spiegel's office with concerns that my neck appeared uneven and that there was significant loose skin. He recommended a second surgery as a corrective measure. I reluctantly agreed, hoping the issues would be resolved. Unfortunately, the revision surgery did not correct the problems. The appearance of my neck still included loose skin and asymmetry, and in my personal opinion, the results looked worse than my natural neck before surgery. I was then advised to undergo a third surgery, which would require me to pay additional fees. I was also told that the doctor had already performed a face-lift/deep-plane/neck lift "to the best of his ability," yet the issues remained. Because I was increasingly concerned, I sought a second opinion from a board-certified plastic surgeon in New York. After an in-person evaluation, that surgeon stated that the work performed on me did not appear consistent with standard technique, and that I still had significant loose skin. I was told the procedure would need to be redone, and at a higher cost, because it involved correcting previous work. I have repeatedly requested a refund from Dr. Spiegel's office so that I can pay for proper corrective surgery elsewhere, but my request was refused. I am submitting this complaint because I believe the Patients should be aware of my experience, and because I am concerned that other patients may face similar issues read more

After much research, I chose Dr. Tower at the Spiegel Center. From the very first consult, Dr. Tower and Uzma Husain, my patient coordinator, made me feel 100% comfortable with my decision to go forward with a neck lift. He took the time to kindly and patiently explain everything clearly. Today I am two weeks post-op, and I am beyond delighted with my results. I never thought my neck could look this good, especially this soon. My recovery has been easier than I had anticipated. I did not see any bruising. I am extremely grateful to Dr. Tower, Uzma, and the rest of the team, who made this entire procedure stress-free. I would not hesitate to recommend Dr. Tower and his team to anyone. (Special thanks to Uzma, who always responded to my questions via email immediately, even on a weekend). I am beyond delighted with my results. read more

I did thorough research in the Massachusetts area to find a surgeon who is technically highly skilled, up to date on the latest techniques, and known for achieving a natural, refreshed, and elegant look. Dr. Jacob Tower was the best match, and I'm so glad I chose him for my face and neck lift. Dr. Tower was approachable, friendly, and never pushy. I felt comfortable sharing my concerns, and he answered all of my questions thoroughly both before and after the procedure. Even at just two weeks post-op, my results already look excellent, which really speaks to his skill--he is truly very good at what he does. I also greatly appreciated his patient coordinator, Uzma, who was kind, professional, responsive, and not pushy at all. Everyone in the office was genuinely nice and helped make this a very positive experience. I'm extremely happy with my results and would highly recommend Dr. Tower. read more

Dr. Spiegel is the best at what he does, and if you are looking for an expert in the field, this is where you need to go. The entire support team shares the same extremely high level of professionalism. From my first consultation to discuss a complex revision surgery, I immediately felt cared for by the endlessly compassionate patient coordinator, Cristina. After meeting with Dr. Spiegel and explaining my case and what I was hoping to have done, all other options were off the table. I ended up choosing the Spiegel Center that day. I'm 9 days post op right now (after having an unsuccessful surgery elsewhere last year and then an injury on top of that), and I can't believe the results I'm already seeing and feeling. Quality of life is coming back, and I could not be happier. read more

From the very first consultation with Dr. Tower, I felt completely heard and genuinely cared for. I came in thinking I wanted a few specific procedures to "refresh" my face, but instead of agreeing and overselling anything, he took the time to truly evaluate what I needed -- and just as importantly, what I didn't need yet. He was honest, thoughtful, and refreshingly conservative, explaining that I wasn't ready for the treatments I initially asked about. Instead, he guided me toward a small brow lift that ended up being exactly what my face needed. The result is incredibly natural, refreshed, and subtle -- I look like myself, just better. What truly sets Dr. Tower apart is his artistry, diligence, and communication. His work is meticulous and clearly driven by skill and integrity, not sales. He was so easy to talk to and incredibly generous with his time, even taking multiple phone calls after my initial consult to make sure we were completely aligned and that I felt confident and comfortable every step of the way. That level of care is rare. I trust him completely, and when the time comes years from now, I already know exactly who I'll be coming back to for my facelift. read more

On Jan 30th, 2025 I underwent what i can only describe as the most important transformational moment of my 42 year existence on this earth. It was not an easy change, few are, but this was more challenging than most. I had 8 procedures done in addition to vfs, and the change is everything i could have hopped for and more. Having facial surgical procedures can be scary, your mind tends to play through all the "what if" scenarios, but the team at the speigel center was there with me from day one. Carole, my patient care advocate is truly a saint. She has been so caring and responsive, even taking calls during my recovery 9pm at night, well after hours just to provide care. She worked tirelessly with my insurance company to work out an agreement to provide coverage even though Dr. Speigel was not "in-network" for my insurance. Both Dr. Speigel and his entire team of doctors and professional medical staff have gone so far over and above the call of duty to help me. From working with my insurance to working to helping me make payment arrangements, they were there every step of the way to make my dream a reality and simply cant articulate the joy i feel looking at the results we've achieved; results that i reap the benefits of every day, every time i leave the house, every time i meet someone. I am humbled by their commitment to patient care, and I am eternally grateful for their help. If you're looking for a team who truly cares deeply about their patients, and their patients success, look no further. If you want the best in the industry not just in terms of delivering natural looking but highly effective results, but also guiding you with love and dignity both before and after a procedure, you need to cal lDr. Speigel NOW. Dr. Speigel stands with a handful of other professionals globally in terms of his knowledge and skill level, he is a true pioneer and visionary in his discipline and I am so blessed to to have had the privilege of being under he and his team's care. If not the best in the world (he may be), he was absolutely the best choice for me. I'm VERY excited to work with him and his team in the future as i continue to pursue my goals. If you're considering facial plastic surgeons, I would implore you to meet with Dr. Speigel and his team because, like me, you simply wont be disappointed! THANK YOU to EVERYONE at The Spiegel Center, you've changed my life and you'll forever be in my heart! - Andie read more

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. read more

I highly recommend this practice and Dr. Jacob Tower in particular if you're thinking of getting an otoplasty. I had wanted one all of my life but had never wanted to deal with the pain and long term recovery period that it used to entail. After many years of research I found the method I thought I wanted, and one meeting with Dr. Tower convinced me. Best decision ever. The surgery took 2 hours total including time to numb up. We were so busy chatting away that I barely thought about what was happening to me. Virtually painless. I barely even needed any pain meds and all pretty much healed in a week and a half. The hardest part was sleeping on my back for a week The best part is that my results are exactly what I had hoped for . Thank you to Dr. Tower, and to wonderful Uzma for coordinating my patient experience. read more

I had a deep plane facelift, upper bleph and laser resurfacing with Dr Tower. Everything went REALLY smoothly; it was much nicer than what I would have experienced in a hospital setting. The nurses and anesthesiologist were top notch and my care coordinator was checking in both before and after surgery to make sure I had everything I needed. The results are still a work in progress (residual swelling and bruising still apparent, but hardly noticeable at 2.5 weeks) but even then, I still look way better than pre-surgery. I am really, really happy with the surgery because it looks like me 10 - 15 years ago and nothing looks "plastic" or unnatural. I totally recommend Dr Tower, he did an outstanding job. read more

Had an incredible experience getting FFS with Dr. Spiegel. He gave me exactly what I was looking for and delivered on all the specific details I asked for. I'd strongly recommend him to anyone looking for FFS. My coordinator Cristina was fantastic, went above and beyond to help me get my procedures done on schedule and was super friendly throughout the whole process. They have a really incredible team here. read more

Dr. Spiegel provides personalized, compassionate care. He has a meticulous, aesthetic eye. Dr. Spiegel is an artist as well as a master surgeon. I'm blessed to be his patient for several surgical procedures (Gortex removal upper and lower lip, revision rhinoplasty, lip lift and corner lip lift). I'm absolutely thrilled with my beautiful results! The staff at the Spiegel Center is very welcoming, kind & professional. Patient Care Coordinator, Carole has been my biggest cheerleader. She's warm, compassionate and always full of positivity! Thank you to Dr. Spiegel for the special, excellent care you have provided and the unique gift you are to your patients. I highly recommend The Spiegel Center for all your aesthetic needs! read more

I had a negative experience here with IPL + Morpheus 8 which left me scarred on my forehead. Dr Onir was both aggressive and brusque in her approach to the treatment, which left me scraped and scabbed in several areas. They did offer to see me again and re-treat the scarred areas with IPL, but unfortunately I am still left with a permanent mark right in the center of my forehead, even after the second (corrective) IPL treatment + 5 months of mederma + sunscreen. When I came back for the follow up, they seemed to be more focused on selling me a monthly subscription for IPL than anything, which was a bit tone deaf on their part. I'd say avoid this practice for laser treatment, Morpheus 8 in particular. I have not had fillers or injections from Dr Onir so I cannot speak to her abilities there. Dr Spiegel is great, but unfortunately I cannot recommend Dr Onir and will not be returning. read more

This place DESTROYED my face & my life. They have two pages on Yelp my guess is for nefarious reasons. They did Morpheus8 on me which i wanted for my facial scar & they quoted me for my whole face so I assumed it was standard procedure. It's not they were greedy. Now they have scarred every inch of my face except the area under my eyebrow & thats the only skin left of the face I once had. It aged me DRASTICALLY basically overnight- once the inflammation went down & I could see the damage. I have spent THOUSANDS of dollars & THOUSANDS of hours trying to figure out how to fix it & it will never be truly the same & I know it. I hate these people. Then they gaslight you & try to tell you that you look better or that the new damage was already there. I had to bring a friend with me because I knew they were gonna do that so there was someone else there to vouch for the fact that NO IT WASNT & NO IT DOESNT! I will add pics when I have more time but the industry is very much waking up to the fact that this is one of the worst machines ever invented. There are countless videos about the damage it causes on YouTube and thousands of comments from victims and Reddit stories galore. Yet they play dumb and act like I'm the first person in the whole world that they have ever heard has had the fat melted in their face from too much heat being applied, severe volume loss, lots of elasticity, drooping, huge open pores, orange peel texture skin, thinned skin on my forehead, so my forehead beans are constantly bulging out, indentation under my eyes, my neck looks like a Sharpay, I went from looking like I was in my 20s to looking like I need a facelift, and now because of all my open floors I have a severe sweating problem and I am pouring sweat all summer. I dread the heat now. I am in a support group for people This machine has damaged. It's on Facebook called "facial damage from radio frequency and laser." Don't do it. It's the biggest regret of my life & that's saying a lot. I would pay anything to fix it but there's nothing that can get your subcutaneous fat back once it's gone, not even a fat transfer bc that's deeper. Keep looking! read more

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! read more

This practice is worth traveling to if you aren't local, and worth utilizing if you are. I found this man by chance on IG and realized he would be perfect for me. It's difficult and daunting to find anyone worth their ig following and I rolled the dice. Dr. Spiegel's kindness, demeanor and skill are both ultra professional and top notch and the staff are warm and very welcoming. I had 2 things done here so far and will return for any future needs. A special thank you to Uzma, who truly ïs wonderful and made everything easier, taking care of my needs with the same professionalism that seems to be the earmark of the practice. Thank you all. read more

I had two FFS surgeries with Dr. Spiegel a long time ago and, sadly, I think he did a rather mediocre job on both of them. His work is okay if you need extremely minimal changes. But, should you require more serious bone work... he's not your person. Poor rhinoplasty work (which has resulted in major scar tissue), pre-surgery I had a rounded hairline which, post-surgery, was squared off, and I don't feel as if he was honest about the chin work he claimed he was going to do. Okay, the trach shave was fine. At the time I went to him there were few alternatives--not so now. You can do better than Spiegel. read more

I recently went in for a Botox update and was railroaded into spending more than twice what I planned for an additional procedure (filler) which has shown absolutely no difference in my appearance but cost $1,200. This was down from the proposal to sell me twice as much filler. I went to the appointment feeling good about treating myself to a procedure on my birthday and now just feel like a gullible fool easily parted from my money. Be prepared for a hard sell to agree to more than you want or need. I also did not consent to my image being used on the website and the office staff tried to pressure me into signing that form, along with buying products at the checkout I didn't want. read more

I just had a facial rejuvenation with Dr Jacob Tower at the Spiegel center. Dr. Tower did a great job, I look many years younger, but still very natural which is exactly what I was looking for. Starting with the consultation, preop, surgery, and postop, he patiently listened to my concerns and answered all of my questions thoroughly. Uzma Hossein, my patient coordinator, was also amazing. She regularly checked in with me and followed up on my requests and questions. She made me feel welcome and cared for in the office. I highly recommend Dr Tower and the Spiegel Center to anyone who is considering a facelift or facial rejuvenation. read more

Very professional! Never pressured me into a choice and only heard exactly what I needed while also offering suggestions that did not feel like product pushing. Highly recommended them read more

Our daughter had FFS with Dr Spiegel in April. The results were fantastic - she looks beautiful! We went to him because of his decades of experience in transgender care and I do think that made a difference in outcomes. In addition to his skill, the entire office was kind & professional. They have an in-office Transition Specialist Juliana who met with us numerous times & was so reassuring and helpful. In addition I can't praise our patient coordinator Uzma enough. She was so knowledgeable about the whole process - whether explaiming what to expect, or helping us navigate the payment process. In particular our insurance required us to jump through numerous bureaucratic hoops and Uzma really helped us out with all that was required. Overall I highly recommend both Dr Spiegel and his entire operation. Top notch! read more

Have 2 vials of under eye Fillers w Dr. Onir and looked like an alien for mths until I had it dissolved by another doctor. It cost $1400 plus $500 to dissolve. First pic is after it was dissolved and I had ONE vial of Restalyne done by the doc that dissolved it 2 weeks later. The next 2 pics is how I looked 2 mths after I was overfilled. They look like 2 shelves under my eyes. Why wouldn't an injector just do one and then have youcome back to see if u need another vial is beyond comprehension to me. read more

I wish I'd done more research before coming here. I too was taken in by the online accolades and proclamation of seeing new England's best injector. This ended up being the most expensive mistake I ever made. Everything I got done here, I had dissolved and redone (except my temples). I went back a couple times to get my lips partially dissolved before I had them redone somewhere else. I left the under eye in for over a year. Saw a new doc, and he saw immediately without my prompting that my under eye was overfilled still over 1 year later. I had to pay $500 to dissolve. Update: when I went to get it refilled the other doc let me know I didn't even need tear trough filler. The worst part was I used to like to smile but between the bags under my eyes and lumpy lips I started hating my smile. The overfilled under eye actually started creating some wrinkles in the inner corner for me. Ironically, they were so insistent I needed to come back every 6 months to touch up- when I was still overfilled in my under eye 1 year later. This was my first filler experience and my worst by far. But the true worst part is that I was worried and anxious for help after I noticed the overfilling qnd lumpiness. I followed up too much for them, and my contact emailed me complaining about me by accident. They apologized for it but they made me feel terrible for wanting to correct things that others could clearly tell weren't looking great. read more

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! read more

GO HERE IF YOU WANT TO LOOK LIKE YOUVE HAD A STROKE. Seriously, I'm not an internet troll, I'm a yelp elite because I give authentic reviews and truly love to rave about genuine businesses. This review is specifically for Dr. Onir. I came to her for lip filler because I was impressed by her numerous "accolades" online. I thought that she knew the mouth well (being a dentist) and was probably "good with her hands". Boy, was I sorely mistaken. She begins by numbing your mouth (dentist-style). Then she uses the "cannula" technique. She made a hole with a needle then couldn't find it with her cannula and proceeded to jab my lips for 2 minutes with a hard cannula until she used the needle 2 more times to widen the hole and shove the cannula in. "This usually goes in like this..." she murmurs. It was far from finessed. After injecting Versa (the filler), she proceeded to squeeze my lip with the force of 1000 men. I have had filler done many times before and have NEVER had someone squeeze it hard, maybe a tiny pinch. When she took her hand away I asked for a mirror and literally was speechless. My lip was huge and completely misshapen. It was hanging over my teeth and looked like I had a stroke. (I'm an ICU nurse and see stroke patients not infrequently). I literally said out loud "I look like I had a stroke!" And she quickly shut the door so no other clients could hear me. She quickly had me sign a consent for the hyaluronidase (to dissolve the filler) and tried to dissolve it. I sat in her office almost in tears, afraid to look in the mirror. After icing for 20 minutes she told me I could go and that it should go down over the next few days. I had to stop in my way out the door to pay in full for my stroke face. I wanted to throw up. I've been so traumatized by this experience and hope this discourages others to go to her. The cherry on top, I had to go to another doctor to have my botched filler dissolved a few weeks later. read more

He is an artist, and as such the prices are resemblance of his work. He is the best in this area whatsoever.

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 Botax treatments. read more

DO NOT GO HERE. I had tear trough filler here about 6 months ago and I'm STILL trying to correct it. I looked like an alien. I still look like an alien! 6 months of crying. 6 months of not going places where I can't wear sunglasses because I'm so botched and embarrassed. I don't know how they can still be allowed to do this to people. Dr Onir should stick to dentistry. Maybe spend less on tacky decor, photo shoots, fake yelp reviews and fake accolades and invest in more education on filler. I've since been told by 3 actual accomplished injectors, that I am not a candidate for tear trough filler AND the placement of my 2 syringes is horribly done. Not to mention the JACKED UP PRICE! 2 syringes of filler does not equal $2400 but somehow the Spiegels think it does. When I went back for my 2 week appt, I expressed how unhappy I was and her response was... guess what.... MORE FILLER, CHA CHING. I said no I'd rather dissolve it and revisit it at a later date. She quickly injected the dissolvent, had me squeeze a tissue on the area around the sides of my nose and left the room. There is so much filler still left. If I wanted to fix this mess I had to pay... again. The trust was immediately lost. I wouldn't trust Dr Onir with my dogs teeth, never mind MY FACE, ever again! I've never felt more taken advantage of. I'm not a complainer, by any means. Im also not an avid yelper but I feel like she needs to be held accountable. If I can stop 1 person from feeling like this I will be happy. Go somewhere else for your filler. I PROMISE YOU, you will see how clearly these people are after one thing and one thing only...The almighty dollar. They don't care if you leave looking worse than when you came in. They don't care about your happiness in any way, shape or form. Please do not give them a dollar of your money. read more

Dr. Onir is a remarkable injector who regards each patient as a new opportunity to create a work of art. There is only one you and we all love you! Thanks for putting a smile on my face! read more

I am a transgender woman who has gone to Dr. Spiegel for various surgeries since 2009. I've had pretty much every FFS procedure they have invented through him, and would recommend him enthusiastically to anyone looking to feel more comfortable in your life and career. Before I did FFS, being trans was constantly a difficult factor in my life. After it, it literally never comes up unless I disclose with people. As a result, it let me get on with my life and my career and just enjoy things the way cis people do. I would say FFS was drastically more helpful to me than GRS. As with all plastic surgery, it's important to have reasonable expectations. Some procedures with him have been more successful than others. Some have had very long recovery times. Some have had complications. This is par for the course with any plastic surgeon. FFS is essentially about incremental improvements that add up. A smaller jaw will make you look 15 percent more feminine. Brow bossing another 10 percent, a lip lift maybe five percent. Dr. Spiegel cannot take away the trauma or transphobia that all of us face, but he can help reduce the markers testosterone creates in your facial structure. For me personally, the jaw reduction, voice surgery and scalp advance are the three I would recommend most strongly. All had very long recovery times, but were worth it in the long run. I also have to mention his office, which has never treated me with anything less than respect and humanity - something you cannot say for many healthcare providers. When I first started working with Spiegel in 2009, he was one of a handful of FFS surgeons in the country. In the decade plus since, he has helped train a ridiculous number of FFS surgeons in the United States - over 80 percent. When you think about the state of transgender health care in the US, Dr. Spiegel has helped expand it in a way few others can claim. Other specialties would probably pay more and have fewer headaches, but he does it because he cares about our community. read more

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. read more

I would like to add that 'Dr' Spiegle made my throat so small that when I went for FFS, NOT with that hack, my new Dr could NOT incubate me and had to do the surgery under general anesthesia! I get food stuck in my throat all the time. I am convinced I'm going to die because something gets lodged in there. I have told my family and friends if I drop dead that that's probably the reason why. If anyone wants to start a class-action law suit I'm IN! This place is absolute trash, they are mutilating patients!!! read more
