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.

I Like Dr. Boylan
Today was my first visit with Dr. Boylan. He is easy to communicate with and listens well. I am glad he has an office in Marshall and just recommended him to a friend who also needs a cardiologist.

Dr. Boylan has been my cardiologist since I developed Cushions. I presented with severe high blood pressure. Along with medications, he was the only cardiologist who would perform a heart cath without lidocaine. (Allergic)I ended up having ablation and he saved my life. I would recommend him to anybody looking for a cardiologist! He listens to his patients and genuinely cares!

Visiting a doctor is not high on my list, but I must say that Dr. Boylan was a pleasure to meet. It was a relief that he doesn't jump into multiple tests but is taking my care one step at a time. There is no doubt that my health is in good hands.

Had my initial visit today @CVC and Dr. Boylan. I had zero waiting time and saw the doctor as soon as initial work up was completed. Dr. Boylan was extremely professional. He explained very thoroughly what he saw and heard and placed a clear "path forward". He's excellent to talk to, with excellent patient/people skills. I HIGHLY recommend him.

I saw Dr. Boylan for the first time yesterday. I'm moving to him from another cardiologist. He's great to talk to, doesn't believe in testing to be testing and seemed genuinely interested in my care and my thoughts about my care. Glad to be making this change.

I had my first appointment with Dr. Boylan this morning. I found him to be exactly what I have been looking for in a cardiologist: someone who cares by taking considerably time to discuss my records (EKGs, BP, Echo-Stress Test) from referring physicians to come to a logical conclusion about my situation. Dr. Boylan also treats the heart holistically from all sides through diet and lifestyle/exercise in addition to prescriptions and surgery which, in my experience, is rare.
