"I was very impressed with Dr Boyce himself. He was very knowledgeable and very concerned about his patients. His office staff (office manager) seems to know little about what insurance will and won't pay for and put together a package program along with the surgeon's fees that includes psych eval, diet education, a personal trainer, and 90 of excercise equipment. (membership at a local health club for 90 days). The fee for that is exorbitant and she claims these items are never paid by insurance, when in many cases, most of it is.
Update: I've had my consult with Dr Boyce. He is a very nice person. His staff has gone above and beyond the call of duty help me out. His program fee has been reduced from $5000 to $3000 and they are currently setting up a sliding scale fee for those who are income eligible. I've spoken with 2 hospital nurses who state that Dr BOyce is an excellent surgeon and he did know his stuff when we spoke. I believe I've made the right decision by sticking with him, in spite of initial reservation.
6/1/03-Dr Boyce was excellent with me. My surgery went off without a hitch and with no complications. He and his staff are by far the best office I have ever been to."
