Dr. Hertl has made a huge impact on my life and I won't forget her kindness. I have never encountered a doctor that treated me with so much
compassion, respect and dignity. I will forever carry her beautiful art work proudly on my chest as she is a true artist. Not to mention her amazing staff!
Thank you so much,

Thank you, thank you, thank you for taking such good care of me the past few times. I've felt so much more confident. As I said before I've been through some very uncomfortable and unprofessional appointments. I have never felt more welcome, comfortable, and relaxed as I have in your office. I am so fortunate and blessed to be in your care.

I wanted to compliment and express my gratitude towards Dr. Catherine Hertl on my cosmetic surgery I had with her!! From start to finish her and her team made me feel so comfortable and at ease from beginning to end! I appreciate the candor and privacy they give each one of their patients in her office...it's not an assembly line of patients in the waiting room. She was very forthcoming on what to expect for results, and paid attention to my concerns. Lastly, (most important!) my results!! For the first time in my adult life I feel comfortable in my own skin! I can throw any outfit on and run out the door...no more catching glances of myself in a mirror and feeling self conscious! She told
me my results will continue to improve as swelling goes down...I'm looking forward to seeing the changes as the weeks pass...I already am thrilled with the results!
Thank you so much Dr. Hertl and staff!!!!!!!

As an inexperienced (with any facial work) 70 year old male, I was pleased with the information I received during a visit with my wife. Yes, I did not go for myself. since that initial experience, Dr. Hertl has observed keratosis and removed them. No pain, no longer do I fear while playing golf. I know what skin problems look like and how to care for them. No more denial.
I have begun the Fraxel laser treatments to remove the damaged forehead and cheeks from years of tennis and golf. I protect my skin NOW with the easy tips from Dr. Hertl.
My skin is clearer and needs less "slap on products" I use less products and the results are TERRIFIC!

We all have things about our bodies that we would change, so when you’ve finally decided to address these things, choosing the right provider is not to be taken lightly. I was referred to Dr. Hertl by a friend, and I could not be happier with my choice. She listened to all of my concerns, and answered all of my questions with patience. Her skill as a surgeon, in my opinion, is unsurpassed. Always accessible and never rushed, I always felt confident in her ability and knowledge. I would recommend her to any friend or family member without hesitation. Look no further, Dr. Hertl is the best you’ll find!

I am so impressed with Dr. Hertl and her staff. After my first visit to discuss my wishes for a procedure, Dr. Hertl had my confidence. I scheduled my procedure with two weeks later and I am healing well and confident even this early in my healing process that I will have results that exceed my expectations! She is a great surgeon, a wonderful communicator and has a top notch staff. I would recommend her 100%!

I am so happy that I found Dr. Hertl! And Marcia and Andrea! I had two prior breast surgeries at MGH with a surgeon that came recommended. He did an awful job but I had decided to just live with the lousy outcome. A friend told me about her experience with Dr. Hertl so I decided I'd meet her and see what she thought. I instantly appreciated her direct, honest, often funny and straight forward manner. Everyone in the office is so warm and friendly and informed. Dr. Hertl has amazing skills! I felt I could trust her with me, that she has my best interest at heart. I'm thrilled with the outcome! I also thought while I was going to be doing the breast reconstruction, why not go for a little Lipo. I am so excited with the results! Dr. Hertl recommended the Exilis Therapy after to tighten and smooth out some areas and I'm loving that too. I truly couldn't be happier!

As a healthcare worker I admire and appreciate a doctor with great
bedside manner. Dr. Hertl has one of the best bedside manner I've seen and
experienced. I live in the Boston area and had breast augmentation at a
prestigious hospital with a very creditable and experienced surgeon.
Unfortunately my outcome was not very good and had multiple complications. Two surgeries later I was left with a double bubble. The surgeon claimed I needed an extreme procedure and I just didn't feel comfortable. I thought I needed a second opinion. I met with a few surgeons in the Boston area and wanted to research more. I found Dr. Hertl on the vitals website and read some really nice reviews so I thought I would give her a try. I called and a warm welcoming voice answered her assistant Marcia. Who is just as warm welcoming in person as she is on the phone. When I met with Dr. Hertl I immediately felt like I was in the right place.
We talked about my past surgery and what she would do to fix my
issue. She brought up issues that she discovered with my breast that no one
mentioned before and I was very impressed by that. She reassured me she could
help me and I trusted she could.
It has been 4 month since by augmentation and I couldn't be happier! I travel over an hour to see her and don't mind at all. She
is worth every mile! I even got my mom to see her and get Botox. She loves her
outcome. I cannot say enough nice things about Dr. Hertl and her staff. I feel
very grateful and I would highly recommend her.

My experience with Dr Hertl was excellent! She was professional and explained everything to me in detail. I was so impressed with the outcome and I would highly recommend her to anyone who would be considering any type of plastic surgery.
Her medical assistant Marcia was a pleasure also to work with!
Thank you for the great service and outcome!!

I'm writing to tell you how very pleased I am with the results of the laser, excilis, Microdermabrasion and skin care products(ZO).
Due to laser, tightening, microdermabrasion,and correction of brown spots, my face, chest, arms, hands and legs have had amazing results. My aging skin is so,so improved. It has continued to improve with regular use of the recommended ZO products.
Dr. Hertl, it is a pleasure to be in your office with its great atmosphere. The caring, kindness and skill of you and your staff make every visit special. Thank you so much.
Gratefully, Anne L.

Dr. Hertl,
Words cannot express the gratitude I have for all that you've done for me over the past eight years as I battled breast cancer and navigated the scary world of recovery and breast reconstruction. No matter how scared and apprehensive I felt during my journey, your expertise and encouragement always alleviated my fears. The fact that you were always confident that you'd be able to make me beautiful again got me through many hard times. I will always be grateful to you and your team. I can’t thank you enough.

I have loved getting to know Dr. Hertl and her staff this summer of 2013.
We came up with a plan to use Exilis to reduce my abdomen and arms.
I needed to have a noninvasive treatment for my mommy body and
Exilis has been a great option for me.
The treatment allowed me to go into the office and then continue with my
usual busy days. It really has been so good to see a significant difference!
My dresses fit and fall around my waist great. The muffin top is under control
and I am once again wearing sleeveless shirts.
Thank you so much Dr. Hertl for helping me with my problem areas!
I am feeling confident and can once again smile at myself in the mirror.

Dear Dr. Hertl,
It’s nice for a specialist to know that their client is very satisfied and happy. This is what I want you to know. You’re an expert in your field and I feel an architect of a woman’s face as well. It’s three weeks since my visit to your office and I have told a lot of my clients about my experience at your office, my before picture, (which my staff took of me) and what I look like now. They are impressed, and I hope you get their business. Thank you for this experience… the result is so great!!! I intend to go forward every year with my “liquid face lift” and my tweaks in-between.

Dr. Hertl,
Thanks so much for my “new” face. I’m very pleased with the results of your surgeries. You’ve certainly pushed back my “aging clock”.
I really appreciate the level of effort (2 long surgeries) you made on my behalf. It’s always wonderful to see a true artist and professional at work.
Thanks again & all the best to your future endeavors!

PS… We got engaged yesterday!! (I owe it all to my new breasts!)

Dear Dr. Hertl,
Thank you very much for your incredible generosity, special care and artistic results! The surgery was great and I absolutely love the results. I waited almost 30 years to have this done and I am sure I was just waiting for you.
You are an artist and a fabulous doctor. This surgery and its results fulfilled all my hopes, wishes and expectations; and more.
I wish all the best in the future, lots of love and happiness for you, your practice and your family.
With warmest regards,

Dear Dr. Hertl,
Happy New Year to you. I write simply to thank you for your work. It’s strange to look at my breasts and know that a person is responsible for them. As I start my day, I am comfortable with how I look. Not obsessing for even a minute about my appearance, allows me to focus on my own important work with kids.

Dear Dr. Hertl,
Just a little note to let you know how pleased I am from my surgery. I couldn’t be any happier with the results! I feel like a completely “NEW” me & I cannot thank you enough. I realize this is simply what you do; however its certainly changed & impacted my life in such a positive way that I don’t have the words to thank you. Your staff, along with the staff in the O.R. & the nurses were all wonderful!
Thank you-

Dr. Hertl,
I can’t thank you enough for giving me the courage and confidence I needed to go through with the surgery. I know it will change my life and knowing you has done the same.
Thank you,

Here is a gracious testimonial from one of Dr. Hertl’s patients written directly to Dr. Peter Slavin, President, Massachusetts General Hospital …
Dear Dr. Slavin,
In 1956, Dr. Joseph Gardella, a physician at MGH for 55 years, addressed his first year medical students at HMS with a lecture that begins as follows. “Perhaps you find it strange, or at least premature, that you are being asked to consider at the very outset of your career, a subject so complex and sophisticated as “The Care of the Patient”. But surely you will not consider it too early for you to become aware that the ultimate goal and perhaps singular purpose of medicine is the care of the patient. It is the whole of medicine. It is the denominator common to all parts of medicine. And really, no matter what field of medicine you choose to follow, be it practice or research or teaching, your achievement, I am sure, will eventually be measured by a single parameter – the extent of which your work contributes to the care of the patient.”
I have had the great fortune to have been aligned with Dr. Catherine Hertl. Such a remarkable physician who I believe personifies the teachings of Dr. Gardella. Her standard of care, utmost professionalism, compassion, patience and kindness are truly outstanding.
Sincerely,
S.L
