Wait was too long and waiting room not big enough
Great experience with Blake and staff. Very courteous and professional.
Dr. Blake Boyett is an AWESOME Dr.!!! He found out why I was in so much pain in my back. He is always super nice & caring. He answers whatever questions I've had. He shows compassion & nowadays, finding a doctor that shows concern & compassion, is almost IMPOSSIBLE. I would definitely recommend Dr. Blake Boyett to any of my family & friends.
Very professional. Answered all my questions.
He has feeling for his patience's and understands their pain and will do everything he can to help
This was my first visit. The lobby is spacious, comfortable, and not cramped. Easy check in. I saw that the place was extremely busy which is a good sign that they know what they are doing but it was all well organized. I did not have to wait very long to get called back. The staff that helped me was extremely pleasant. On yeah, Dr. Blake was awesome. He knows what he is doing and I look forward to working with him to get rid of my back pain that I've had for decades.
He was very nice to us ,he gave Us some options to think about.
Great! Thanks for using freezing spray after the needle got dull!! Great Dr. will return.
Unlike so many other doctors, Dr. Boyett is respectful, pleasant & very knowledgeable.
It was a long morning's wait. Dr Blake is worth the wait. He answers questions, and does not push for his preferred answer. The people arranging appointments could do better
