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.

The only doctor who’s ever made me feel seen
What can’t I say about Dr. Boam? My family & I have been seeing him for 9 years, he has treated me since I was 17. He has always taken my concerns seriously, selflessly fighting with insurance to ensure I got the necessary tests. He thoroughly explains every diagnosis & trusts his patients. Last year, I got extremely sick, visiting the hospital dozens of times & seeing countless ER doctors & specialists. After one particularly frustrating hospital visit, I brought my lab results to Boam. He immediately caught what other doctors ignored & suspected my condition within minutes. He ordered a crucial test that my insurance denied for months, but he kept fighting until it was approved. Once completed, it confirmed exactly what he had suspected. Boam figured out in one glance what dozens of other doctors couldn’t or wouldn’t. His diagnosis explained why I was constantly in the hospital, & because of him, I’m finally getting surgery to fix the issue. I wouldn’t be here without his dedication.

Great Doctor
Dr. Boam has been treating my family and me for almost 25 years, he is a great doctor he treats the whole person not just the condition, and is good at providing all the options for care to come up with a good treatment plan. He is very good at knowing when to hand over care to a specialist and makes sure that you get in with the best specialist for your condition and needs. He's also very good at dealing with my dad who can be stubborn and non-compliant with his treatment and who really doesn't like doctors much, but he'll listen to Dr. Boam.

He apologized for my wait. I always feel like dr. Boam is Smart. After exam, he told me his diagnosis and how he came to it. He prescribed medicine and helped me find the best price in the valley using GoodRx. He smiles and is always kind.

I really hate going to the doctor. DR. Boam and his entire staff has changed that. They all made me feel extremely comfortable. Dr. Boam took his time and answered all my dumb questions, and very professionally explained every answer and the best treatment options. He really cares. You don't feel like he is just rushing to the next patient.

He is the best doctor I’ve ever had. I saw him because he was filling in for my doctor. After one visit with him I knew he was the doctor for me. He takes the time to listen to you and trusts that you know your own body. I have recommended him to a number of family members and friends who all see him now. Everyone loves him??

We have been seeing Dr. Boam for over 20 years and love him! He listens to what I say and is very thorough. He will take the necessary time to explain my options and help me to take better care of myself. We love him so much that not only does he treat my husband and myself, but treats my grown children and their spouses, and most importantly my grandchildren!

He really cares. He listens better than most doctors. I’m not an easy case. I’m older and have multiple problems. I’ve learned to take a written list with me. That way we cover what is needed. Dr Boam is encouraging. He found a treatable problem and has referred me to great specialists.
