Great Great doc
Very courteous and professional, the staff is really awesome. Always exceeds expectations.
As always, Dr. Blake Boyett was so helpful explaining my upcoming procedure and answering my questions. He puts you at ease. Highly recommend him for any spinal procedure or problem.
Awesome visit takes the time to ask what's wrong with and is totally concerned and caring . The whole team is absolutely the best ! Thanks
I "had" a terrible spine. Years of standing behind the chair (Hairstylist) and falling took it's toll. I had a client come into the salon and he laid back in the shampoo bowl for a shampoo before his haircut. I was shocked. He had never done this before. I asked , "Isn't your neck injured." He replied, "not anymore." He told me of this Blake Boyette guy at Athens TOC. I made an appointment that very day. My life has been so much better. Blake Boyette and his team listened
Dr. Boyett did my didc replacement & fusion. He & his staff are great! He’s nice, listens to my concerns & gives encouragement. I also go to TOC for physical therapy & am happy there, too.
Dr Blake has performed two successful spinal surgeries for me. Great expertise and wonderful care!
Excellent. Very professional and personable.
Knowledgeable , explains well, very nice and listens.
