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.

Don't recommend
I saw a neurologist in his practice who was dismissive and uncaring.I asked for a second opinion from Dr. Boyd and was told they'd have to ask him. Weeks later l received a call that he refused to see me.I should add that l had metal toxicity from bilateral hip implants [which was determined 3 years later]. I suspect the docs in his office were clueless and unwilling to investigate what my problem was. Don't waste your time going there.

So happy I switch Drs! He’s the best!
I had been seeing another Dr. For my arthritis and was frustrated with the lack of professionalism and care. I was referred to Dr. Boyd at Arthritis Consultants and have been so pleased with the quality and service from the staff, nurses and Dr. Boyd. He has been a wonderful Dr. & has fine tuned my treatment which has made a huge difference. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a good dr.

I have been a patient of Dr.Boyd's for 14 years. He is the kindest doctor that I've ever met. He is very patient and thorough. He asked questions and pays attention to me when I tell him how I'm doing. He cares and works hard to give me the best healthcare possible. An absolutely fantastic physician!

I have been a patient of Dr. Boyd for 4 or 5 years now. The staff is always friendly and helpful . Dr. Boyd is a very caring, compassionate ,and honest doctor. I have recommended him to several of my friends which feel the same way. They thank me for recommending his office.Also the Lab Corp lab is in their office and Sandy is wonderful at drawing blood.
