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.

I have been a patient of Dr. Boddy for years. The level of patient care I receive is exemplary, Dr. Boddy and his staff provides friendly and professional service at all of my visits. He takes the time to listen to me only prescribes medication when needed otherwise recommending natural or over-the- counter-medication. Dr. Boddy is going to take the time to talk and listen to your medical concerns. To make my daughter feel comfortable at her first doctor’s visit with him, he discussed his child who’s the same age with her to break the ice for open medical discussion. That made him be more personable on the visit and thereafter. If, you looking for a doctor who prescribes medication for whatever reasons or medical excuses for time off from work/school he’s not your doctor (go elsewhere).

Dr Boddy could use to work on his bedside manners. The way he talks to people feels a bit interrogatory. Perhaps, he has just gotten into a pattern of how he speaks to folks. People many times would rather not be at the doctor's office. He should consider making his patient's feel at ease and comfortable. I know and get along with plenty of people who do not have the best social skills. I would like to say that long-term we will still be coming to his practice. If we begin going else-where and better rapport is established, it is hard to say whether or not we will keep coming or visiting there will dwindle off. I actually hope it works out, because I think he means well for the most part.

I’ve been seeing Dr. Boddy for 19 years. He and his office staff have always been kind and professional. Dr. Boddy takes the time to address every concern I have and has even made two personal calls to speak about my tests results. I highly recommend him.

Dr. Boddy Is an excellent doctor. It is so nice to have a doctor who does take the time to speak with me and go over things. He does not like to prescribe meds unless they are really needed. Which is wonderful!!! I have suffered from sinus infections for 20 + years. He explained why I need to use more natural remedies such as netty pot, saline and take a good allergy med Claritan. I have not had an infection in 3 years or better. He does not tell you what you want to hear in regards to weight, exercise, sleeping habits. If you want sleeping meds, nerve pills, pain pills. I am proud to say he is not your guy. There are plenty of doctors out there who will prescribe habit forming drugs and over prescribe antibiotics. If you are looking for an excellent doctor then Dr. Boddy is your man.

One of the worst Drs I have ever been to. Very bad bedside manners. Doesn't care or listen to the patient's concerns. Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else. I wouldn't take my dog to this guy!

We had a disagreement over a seemingly simple issue, but unfortunately it escalated into a big, heated discussion. It mostly involved procedural stuff, and common sense, and saving me from making a wasted appointment. He told me I needed to read a book on how to treat a doctor. I told him it was definitely a two-way street and that he also would do well to read how to treat patients. Medically he seemed competent, and also a decent fellow. But something didn't seem right.

The WORST VISIT EVER! Went to discuss getting OFF YES OFF PAIN MEDICATION today and was told that it would be a YEAR LONG PROCESS AND I MUST SEE HIS therapist only! At $108 a a visit he proceeded to tell me that I needed to come in twice maybe 3 times a week but the first visit will be $250 first visit. I have had legitimate auto immune disease FOR YEARS and had the paper work to show and was literally told I could die on my current medication.... I've already come OFF 95% of it.UNEDUCATED!!

Saw Dr. Boddy years ago in hopes of finding a nutritionist & addressing my high blood pressure. Instead of addressing those primary concerns, he decided to lecture me on one of my present medications and suggested I should be in NA meetings. With my mother in the room he proceeded to say numerous times I would OD & die. I understand everyone has different opinions on medication which treats anxiety and/or depression. But I thought he was incredibly unprofessional and hateful. Worst doctor visit!

Dr. Boddy is very knowledgeable and took the time to listen to me and educate me on my issues and concerns. Some doctors seem to make recommendations without much validation to why they are giving you a specific medication. Dr Boddy explained the history of the medication, side effects, and alternatives. All of the staff have always been very nice and helpful as well.

I do not feel at though Dr.Boddy deserves any stars. I had an appointment with him about an hour ago and he could not have been more unprofessional or disrespectful if he tried. He diagnosed me with allergies or acid reflux (before even Listening to my chest) when I actually have chronic bronchitis. I would not recommend him to anyone.

Dr Boddy was always been very direct and very helpful. He can be more direct than some people are comfortable with but don't you want your doctor to be completely honest with you.... I know I do. We as a family have been seeing Dr Boddy for about 10 years now. I recommend him to everyone that asks. Yes some have returned with I didn't like him telling me I was overweight, but he is looking out for your wellness and life.
