Dr. Boal is extremely kind-we had a great conversation! At 80 years of age he told me he still works 4 hours/week. He’s awesome! Great, personable care. Thank you.

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
