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.

She wouldn’t call me back and answer my legitimate questions regarding my care. Staff said they can’t force her to call me. Sends prescriptions in without letting me know ahead of time and just find out from pharmacy.

I Love Her! :)
Hi, I am one of Dr. Boland's patients and I have to let everyone know how wonderful she is. In all honesty Dr. Boland is not a perky human, she takes her job seriously and genuinely cares about her patients. She is attentive, I have always felt heard and she does not rush me. She changed my life, when my life was at the lowest point. I was coming from Sharp and they had done a terrible job, and were very, very negligent with my care. Dr. Boland built up my faith, she gave me hope and helped me see ahead. I had an extreme chronic flare, of a disorderI didn't know I had. I was confused and lost, my knowledge of the medications I was on and what happened to me was limited and she moved mountains to help me. She was diligent, attentive, communicative, and her team were just exceptional. Is there a lengthy wait time to see her? Sometimes but I feel like that's all Doctor's, I don't feel like that is a reflection of her or her capabilities.

Dr. Boland is the most attentive and caring doctor I have ever had. She will work around the clock for you, answering your emails at 11 pm. She makes you realize that everything will be okay. She really does have your best interest at heart. I am so thankful to have the opportunity to have her as my doctor. I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking a skilled doctor who specializes in IBD.

I was lucky to get in to see Dr. Boland. She was referred to me by a close friend who trained in IBD with her. She has attended to my Crohn's disease for the past 6 months in a timely and efficient manner, all while being completely approachable and empathetic with this devastating condition. It is very easy to get a hold of her on the MyChart email system. I would recommend her and her colleagues at the IBD clinic at UCSD wholeheartedly. They are one of the top IBD clinics in the world.
