I had a wonderful follow-up appointment with Dr. Boal! He not only spent time asking questions to better understand my injury and lifestyle but he avoided unnecessary tests and was able to get to the bottom of the injury, target the right treatment and put me on the path for preventative repeat injury. I would be a life-long patient of Dr. Boal (if he wasn't retiring).

Dr Boal is an excellent doctor. He listen to everything I said and acted accordingly. He explained things to me that had been unclear. I’m sure because of him I am on my road to recovery

I really enjoyed having him as my doctor! I hope he came up with a viable treatment solution that results in healing my finger/joint problems.

Dr Boal was very patient and thorough. He didn't just go for the first and most obvious diagnosis but carefully examined my leg. He asked for more x-rays when the first ones didn't tell him all he needed to know. Very pleased with his job (though not what he found 😒)
