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.

POOR INTRATHECAL PUMP IMPLANT, POOR REMOVAL
Boyce performed an intrathecal pump implant on me in Aug, 2023. He used glue to close the 7' surgical incision in my lower left abdomen, but carelessly left a 0.5' gap in the middle open to the air. I was discharged to inpatient rehab with Boyce's approval and no comment or concern about the open gap. In the following several weeks, the gap scabbed over but failed to heal properly. Soon after it became badly infected and I was prescribed antibiotics. However, that treatment failed to prevent the gap from suddenly opening to 2' in late Oct., exposing the pump and necessitating emergency removal. Boyce & team visited bedside the night before surgery, telling me the situation was all because of my thin build. He was <2 min in my room, then nearly an hour at the nurses station outside my door having a lively conversation about his daughters. To make matters worse, he failed to make me aware he used nylon stitches in the secondary lower back wound, there unbeknownst to me for 6mo!

He was alarmed when he saw how low my generator was and made quick work to schedule surgery the very next day. The left generator was low too but didn't meet the criteria from the insurance company to do both at once.
