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.

Too much risk
My friend died soon after a minor back surgery. While Dr Boev had good reviews and provided some helpful information, I’m not sure he screened enough to make sure my friend could recover from surgery. I hope to find out more but it seemed the ME suggested heart involvement from scans.

I was blessed with meeting Dr. Boev through, F.F. Thompson Hospital. If it were not for his neurosurgery expertise I don't know if I would be walking with the ability to stand up straight. He is an amazing surgeon with amazing bed side manner, and a kind and caring heart. I appreciate what he did for me beyond measure. Highly recommended!

Widow of his patient – Apr 04, 2024

My hero!
After one full year of severe spinal pain and disability and receiving no further hope from any other medical professionals, Dr. Boev, without hesitation, took on the risk of operating on my multiple spine issues. He performed spinal fusions from T11 to L4. Now at two months postop, I have little residual pain, am not taking any pain medications and have much more freedom of movement. After being home bound and nearly bed bound for a year, I am finally getting my life back. I cannot say enough good things about his entire team. Thank you so much for your excellent care.

Dr. Boev a compassionate and professional neurosurgeon. He explained what was wrong and how he was going to repair my L4 and L5 vertebrae. He called my husband right after surgery and told him I did well and was heading to recovery. Highly recommend him and his team!

Dr Boev and his excellent staff changed my life. I appreciated his no nonsense, “I’m not going to sugarcoat this” for you approach to my situation. I’m just hardly 3 months out from my major neck surgery and almost back to a full and better life . Always listen to your body and if you think you need a second opinion then this is the office to go and get that done.

I can not express how bad these people are! they Will not treat veterans from VA reference in a timely manor. When I was scheduled with them they New I had already been waiting for months for pain management, still scheduled me for three months out. Finally the week of my appointment comes and they cancel because their provider wants to take a vacation. When I try to reschedule they tell me I’m at the back of the line again and have to wait An additional several months! If this is how they treat me for pain management I would never trust them to do what is Right for their patients, just what’s right for the pocketbook

Dr. Boev performed a L4-S1 Laminectomy and L5-S1 Fusion on me. After surgery I had immediate relief and no longer in pain. He is an excellent dr. Explains procedure very well, very personable and I would highly recommend him and his wonderful staff also.

My primary physician Dr John Genier recommended Dr. Boev for a herniated disc. This is the best advice I could of received - in a matter of 24 hours I had met with Dr. Boev had a MRI and surgery scheduled.. I have made a full recovery in a short period of time. The experience from the moment I walked into the Dr Boev office was professional and caring by not only Dr. Boev but also his entire staff. I would highly recommend Dr. Boev for any spinal surgery. The quality of care and surgery was better than I could of ever imagined. Thanks so much to Dr Boev and his staff for a positive experience during a very painful time!

Our primary physician recommended Dr. Boev for my husband's herniated disc. He said you need the best working on your neck and Dr. Boev is the best. My husband has made a full recovery. Dr. Boev is professional, compassionate, humble and a great surgeon. His staff is caring and go out of their way to help you. We would highly recommend Dr. Boev for any neck/spinal surgery. Thanks so much.
