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.

It’s been several years since Dr. Boland operated on my neck. I have experienced NO PAIN ever since. He is one great surgeon. Thank you, Dr. Boland. His staff is incredible too!

Title: Attentive Care from Dr. Boland
My recent visit to Dr. Boland left a positive impression on me. Dr. Boland's attentive and compassionate approach to patient care was evident throughout my appointment.Dr. Boland listened intently to my concerns and ordered a necessary test to get to the root of my issue. While I did not receive a diagnosis during the visit, I felt confident in his thorough examination and steps to address my medical needs.His professionalism and empathetic communication made me feel valued as a patient, and I left the clinic with hope. I highly recommend Dr. Boland to anyone seeking dedicated healthcare.

Wonderful God send Doctor
Dr Boland is one of most knowledgeable, kind doctor I have ever met. He makes sure you completely understand what you have and what he can and will do. He did my back surgery 10 years ago and I am back as returning patient. I'm happy he hasn't retired yet!!

Thank you, Dr. Boland!
Dr. Boland was knowledgeable, calm & confident. He answered all of my questions before and after surgery without making me feel rushed. He went above & beyond the norm to see that I was able to leave the hospital 36 hours after surgery. He is obviously a skilled surgeon, because after suffering with progressively worsening low back pain and sciatica in both legs for 35 years, I was able to stop taking pain meds and walk 3-4 miles with ZERO pain 3 1/2 weeks after surgery. Dr. Boland was truly a gift from God.

Dr Boland is the BEST. Explains test results superbly in language that is understandable. Shows you the tests and points out the issues you have. Explains how to correct the issue very well. He even has a sense of humor. Dr Boland is very calm and has a great demeanor. Very knowledgeable and knows his field to a tee. My husband and I have the utmost confidence in his skills. I pray he stays around for a long time. He has my back, now and going forward.

Back Surgery
Dr. Boland came highly recommended by another surgeon and exceeded my expectations! Dr. Boland performed my L5/S1 surgery. Great bedside manner! Throughout the process, I felt very informed and comfortable with both the procedure and Dr. Boland. The surgery was a great success and I feel like I have my life back after 3 years of pain and suffering. I would highly recommend Dr. Boland and personally would never use anyone else.

SIMPLY CAN'T DO BETTER !
I have been going to this exceptional surgeon for more than sixteen years for various back problems. A most talented individual who is warm and caring and keeps the patient informed. He takes the time with the patient and family and truly cares about the outcome. He is also accessible and his assistant; Rachel, is great to work with and goes out of her way to accommodate the patient's needs. As difficult as many operations are; he is highly skilled, and you can' do better. Extremely pleased over many years.

Dr. Boland usually tries other modalities before surgery, but when surgery is indicated, he is an excellent surgeon. He is a Christian doctor and is thorough, kind and respectful to everyone. He is very skilled but has a wonderful way of putting patients at ease with his great sense of humor. He is loved by patients and staff alike.

He is the BEST Neurosurgeon you can find.
Dr. Boland is the best! He is a caring and concerned man who looks you in the eye as he speaks. He is not a formidable man, but quite the opposite. He explains everything in detail and answers all of your questions and doesn't act as if they are stupid ones. He is calm and he is patient. I think very highly of him and would recommend him to anyone that asks!

Highly Recommend!
Dr. Boland is THE BEST!! He took me on time, he looked me in the eye when he was talking to me, asked me a few questions about myself. I felt like he truly was interested in helping me. He explained all of my back issues thoroughly- with MRI pics and a model. He answered all of my questions and then came up with a treatment plan. Very calm, patient, and kind. I highly recommend Dr. Boland to anyone that needs a neurosurgeon! My visit was definitely worth the 2 month wait!! ????
