Awesome!! Everyone friendly and helpful!!
If the wait times weren’t so bad, he’d get 5 stars. 8:00am appointment. Didn’t see him until 9:25.
Had an appt. scheduled for today, Oct. 15th, for what I thought was to have a procedure done, to take off from work, to get there and it to be a follow up from the procedure I was to have already had done?! Waste if my time today, I understand things happen, just think this could have been avoided! Just want to get help to feel better, for a better quality of life! I don’t hold the doctor accountable, just the people in charge of paper work. 🥹
Very professional and caring.
I Fully Trust in the advice and guidance that Dr. Boyett gave me. I really appreciate the frankness on the information I received from him. I Highly Recommend him and his Associate in their medical care.
When I went there Dr. Boyett actually came in the room, sat down, and actually took time to answer my questions. I’ve actually had a doctor come in and never sit down, so I always felt like I was rushed. This doctor was not at TOC. Dr. Boyett answered all my questions, and then when I looked puzzled or had more questions he asked, “what are you thinking about.” Then if I had a comment or question he would speak on the matter. He made it very clear that he actually cares and want to help me. He also didn’t try to throw surgery on me since I am so young with a spinal injury, and he wants to make sure I can keep living my dream as a bull rider. I would HIGHLY recommend him to anybody.
Great doctor!
