"Dr. Boyer was highly recommended to me by another patient. The staff was excellent at communicating to me. They were friendly at check in and check out. The nurses were friendly and seemed very capable. Dr Boyer got me in on time. He listened to me and educated me about my situation. He performed the procedure quickly, painlessly and with great bedside manner. I feel confident especially learning about his history of working on members of US House of Congress and Supreme Court. I recommend him."
