Could not take a single 1" step without a Walker for a few weeks. I had to learn to walk again. I can't walk far or stand long. I am still in way more pain than before surgery and it's been years. I wish I chose a different doctor.

I've been going to Dr Boyer for many, many years. I would highly recommend him.He cares for his patients does everything he can before he speaks of surgery.

Dr. Boyer did a discectomy on my dad. After the surgery dr. Boyer appeared to be either doped-up or very much in need of sleep. My dad was in much more pain after the surgery and continued to be that way. Dad refused to go back to have any other procedure done because of being scared of further damage. To this day Dad can't walk very far at a time and is deteriorating by the day. I don't see how this man could have a license. I would never recommend this man to anyone for surgery.

Dr. Boyer seems good. There are far too many hoops to jump through to get an appointment. Evidently, business is good for this medical group because the front office staff can afford to treat people rudely and with disrespect! They do not care! They were supposed to refer me to a pain management physician and never did.

Is very nice and talks so you know what he is saying. He helped me, I couldn't walk and he did my surgery. I'm walking now and now my children are grown and they didn't have to help. They were able to be children and I took them to ball games to cheer or play. GOD bless the team of Drs. that do their jobs to help others.

I met the man once, for about 5-10 minutes right before surgery in March 2014. Other than that I either saw an NP or a PA. I would have liked to have spoken to the actual doctor and asked my questions to him. When I complained that my post op pain wasn't being managed well, I received a letter telling me that HE had told me that I had "pain syndrome"...for starters, I've never even heard of that, secondly, I only spoke to him for a few minutes ONCE...BEFORE my surgery!

His office staff is terrible, They were suppose to call me the next day for an appointment for my husband and never did, I am still waiting......He is so booked ahead it is very hard to get in and see him. As for Dr. Boyer he is very good if you can get in...

Dr. Boyer did a 2 level lumbar spine disc fusion for me. He is an excellent communicator as well as an exceptional surgeon. He also did surgery on my handicapped daughter, with great results.
He takes a lot of time in each visit. You may have to wait, but its worth it.

Dr. Boyer performed brain surgery on me in 2010 for a menegeomi tumor. He explained everything he was going to be doing ahead of time to ease my mind. I received the utmost of care by him and his staff. I could not be happier with the outcome considering the circumstances. I would and have recommended him to everyone who needs this type of specialist.
