Surgeon Info:
Surgeon: Stephen G. Boyce
Dr Boyce is fantastic IMO. What was your first impression of him/her? Very kind, caring and nice. How did your impression change over time? Only gotten better, I have seen how skilled he is first hand now and respect him even more. How would you describe his/her office staff? Top notch, always helpful. Available to us anytime. What did you like least about him/her? Really can't think of a thing... What should future patients know about him/her? He is a very skilled surgeon who wants things done one way, the right way. And if your not willing to do what's right (this even includes his staff) well you are in for problems. How much does he/she emphasize aftercare? It is a necessity and just as important as the surgery itself. Does he/she have a structured aftercare program? Yes How did he/she address the risks of surgery? Played no games with me, told me the facts even the smaller/lesser complications. Now I will admit his seminar painted a slightly brighter picture when it came to risks/complications. One-on-one he held nothing back. How would you rate him/her overall? 10+ Which is better, surgical competence, bedside manner, or both great? Maybe by only a tiny margin, his surgical competence but his bedside manner is very good. I really could se he cared and wanted the very best for me.
