My experience was that one of my 3 dents was just to the rear of the door opening and about an inch and a half below the rear side window. I don't think there is an easy way to get behind that spot. Nothing was removed or drilled to do the work.
My understanding is that it is not always necessary to have that access. Doesn't cost anything to get someone to actually look at it.

In the second set of pics that doesn't look as bad as I thought and it is right above that rear hole for a pry to get to.

Here are a couple other pics that show more clearly the location and I think the condition. I found one place fairly local but was hoping a local NNJ Rennlister would guide me to "The Guy". My local Porsche dealer was not helpfull although he said they could do it in house at their body shop but it would involve a repaint. All this over the phone without seeing anything.

You're an idiot. Welcome to the club.
I have done the same thing.
Fix it when you can. Maybe the first, but not the last.
This too will pass.

I decided with this 911 I'm not going to get crazy about the little stuff that happens to cars during the normal course of their lives, I'm going to drive it and enjoy it. My steering wheel and shifter **** look like crap due to the top always being down and the humidity in Florida, but that adds character. I could dwell on it, and spend way too much money to fix the things, but, more things will just happen since the car is a daily driver.
Regardless of the fix, if you dwell on it, it will always be there, to you!

Its not rocket science, but a good professional PDR guy will have the tools to get the job done. Im a big fan for original paint. It boils down to heating up the paint, and pushing out the panel from behind slowly with a lined light to show panel variances. Lots of practice and technique.
