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.

He's the best!
Dr. Boyer is a gem of a doctor. He is always thorough in his examination, never makes me feel rushed and always explains how I'm doing. He also always takes the time to ask how I'm doing and genuinely seems interested in me as a person, not just a patient. I travel all the way from Florida just to see him because I don't trust anyone else with my eye health.

Best ophthalmologist around
I actually look forward to my appointments with Dr Boyer. How many doctors can you say that about? He is an expert in his field and also a very compassionate person. I’m actually afraid to recommend him to anybody because I don’t want him to burn out under the workload!

Regular updated visit
I didn’t wait long at all. However, it depends on when your appointment is scheduled during the day. Dr Boyer is very thorough. My husband is a retired Professor of Molecular Neurobiology & Opthalmalogy & was very impressed when he attended my first visit with Dr. Boyer. He came highly recommended & I support that recommendation.

Brilliant and Compassionate Doctor
Dr. Boyer cares and is interested in finding out what is at the root and cause of the issue. If something doesn’t make sense or seem right, Dr. Boyer wants to know the what, why and how of whatever the bafflement is. I appreciate that immensely. All doctors and specialists should take a page from Dr. Boyer’s book.
