Dr. Boyd was very thorough in his examination. He kept us informed about exactly what was going on with my bone break. He has a great bedside manner and you can tell he cares about what he does.

Dr. Boyd is so kind and encouraging. He was the first medical professional to tell me it is his goal to get me back to my previous level of activity, not to tell me just to change what I do.

Dr. Boyd has been, and continues to be, the most competent, thorough, and compassionate surgeon I’ve had the pleasure of working with throughout my lifetime. My son had a very complex, multifaceted knee injury from football and Dr. Boyd’s surgery and treatment program has resulted in my son’s recovery at an accelerated speed. Even though we’re still in treatment, I’m confident he’ll be ready to continue playing lacrosse and football in the very near future. Thank you Dr. Boyd and staff.
