Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Covid Help Isn't Available for Caseload
Called the desk, talked to the -phone nurse?- who said Dr. doesn't prescribe anything for Covid. But I could get a virtual Monday. For what, I wondered? If no Covid meds (Paxlovid or Veklury) is prescribed, do I want to pay the Doctor to whine about my symptoms? Enough. Done after 25 years there. Very nice man, need a Doc to rely upon however.

Yes, I have been a patient of his for years and he is very understanding and takes the time to explain things to me when I want to know why certain procedures that were always paid for by insurance are no longer necessary.

I have always had good experience with Dr Boggess. He sits down with me and answers my questions. I talk to him like I would a friend. No problem at all. I have never been talked to rude or disrespectful. His staff are fun to joke with.

His medical assistant that rooms is rude and I hope you never have to deal with her. He is a good doctor but everything for being on hold for at least 10 minutes to staff. I would find someone else and save yourself

Had to seek a new dr. since he would not refer me for tests. Have constant headaches, saw him twice and keeps saying if from caffeine intake. Called a third time to ask for an x-ray or MRI said I would have to see him again. Your life may count on you not seeing Dr. Brent "Know it All" Boggess. Don't see him if you value your life. Seeking 2nd opinion on 10/06/2020. No longer my PCP.

Dr. Boggess does not listen to me. If I tell you what is wrong with me and that I missed a certain procedure pertaining to the issue and you do not honor it so I can see the specialist to check my issue what are you a MD for?

He does unexpected gynecological exams in his office...you know, just in case the specialist OB/GYN missed anything. This guy needs a “Trust me, I’m a Doctor” t-shirt. The implication is spot on.

This physician is an embarrassment. He is not interested in helping his patients. He is rude, arrogant, and spends very little time with his patients. Rarely even performs a cursory examination.

This guy hates helping people. He won't refer to chiropractors or x-rays. Also, he told me a peculiar protrusion on my finger was nothing to worry about but a callus, when the hand surgeon said it was a benign tumor that needed to be removed immediately. Similarly, he told my brother that a skeptical mole was also nothing to worry about, but when he visited UoM it turned out to be precancerous. He doesn't pay attention to what people tell him when they need help. Take it from my experiences!

The absolute worst doctor I or myself have ever been to! Every single time you go to his office it's like you are meeting for the first time, he remembers nothing about his patients.. He will not give referrals that insurances require even when the ER has recommended it. My husband saw him in July 2015 complaining of intestinal pain which Dr. Boggess completely blew off, 6 months later it landed him in the hospital and my husband followed up with Boggess and he still didn't care!!! Never go here
