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.
Dr Boyle and staff were accommodating and kind. My son broke his jaw playing lacrosse last year It was a Friday night, he met us early the next morning on a Saturday. My son was a few days from having his braces removed Dr Boyle found a way to use the braces to fix his jaw I was so afraid he was going to have to wire his jaw and that there could be serious problems. He put us both at ease and explained everything. Soon after braces were off it was concluded that he needed all 4 wisdom teeth extracted. Again Dr Boyle and his staff put us at ease and the process was incredibly smooth Although I hope we don’t have the need to visit the office again , I would not hesitate to go back or recommend him highly Thank you to Dr Boyle and staff for their kindness and professionalism

My friends could not believe that I was not in the same kind of pain and discomfort that they went through. I had all 4 wisdom teeth removed. The whole process was seamless and easy. My pain was minimal, in fact, I kept forgetting that I had surgery and felt normal the next day. Eating normal in less then 3 days. I would highly recommend Dr Boyle and his staff

I got all four of my wisdom teeth extracted by him. He did a good job and I healed fine with the pain medications he perscribed me yet I feel like he lacked enthusiasm and didn't seem approachable.

I had to have a tooth pulled. Never had a tooth pulled before and was starting to have anxiety attacks. The staff was great and very friendly, answered all my questions and concerns on what to expect. The dental assistant that I had was excellent! Had great conversations, went over the before and after procedures. Dr. Boyle was phenomenal, and highly recommend him. Hope I never have to have another tooth pulled, but if I do, I will definitely come back! Thank you again for a great experience!!

My visit went much better than expected. Of course I was nervous but everyone was very nice and comforting. Only wish would be that there were two waiting rooms...one for people that smoke could sit in and one for those that do not smoke. I can’t stand the smell of smoke and sitting in that waiting room with the odor of smoke from all the people around me was disgusting. Having my tooth pulled was better than smelling that awful stale smoke.

Everything concerning my visit (for a molar extraction) went like precision clockwork. I completed the on-line forms at home. Scheduling was via phone and the day of I came into the office. The staff was friendly and very efficient. When I was called there was no fooling around or wasted time. Dr Boyle did not waste time, was extremely efficient, competent and focused. I have felt little pain and little swelling. If I need any more dental surgery I will absolutely go to Dr Boyle.

Dr. Boyle was great. Very professional, fast, and courteous. He got right to the point about what I needed during my review. Operation of removing 4 wisdom teeth went better than I had expected. Although I had 2 impacted only one required stitches due to Dr. Boyle's expertise. I lost no additional teeth which was surprising to me. I highly recommend him for your oral surgery and have already recommended him to one of my coworkers. I couldn't be happier with his work.

Dr. Boyle removed my granddaughter's 4 impacted wisdom teeth and 4 additional teeth per orthodontist for overall improvement with braces.
My 14 year old granddaughter was a bit apprehensive, but Dr. Boyle allayed her fears. He explained the procedure in detail and advised her what to expect. She did extremely well post-op, no excessive pain and quick recovery!
I would highly recommend Dr. Boyle to my family, friends and neighbors!
