I really like Dr. Boland and feel really comfortable with his surgery on me. Especially because he ordered an extra vicryl (spelling?) stitch.

I was not expecting to get a recommendation for a treatment and I went ahead and booked it prior to having enough time to really research and think about whether it was the best. I still came to the conclusion to go forward. It just felt a little rush to schedule it right away. That's all. Very good experience. Awesome doctor.

Expertise without arrogance, but wrapped in compassion. Absolutely thorough and totally skilled and knowledgeable and gentle.(When I was under the sedative and my eyes drifted I was reminded repeatedly to turn my gaze in a certain direction with unlimited patience and kindness. )

Dr. Boland was very, very concerned and he asked me to never wait again when I am dissatisfied with the doctor to make sure I come in, make sure I called and let someone know. He says, we are here to take care of you and we want you to be satisfied.
