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.

I was very impressed with Dr Boyer. He listened to me and I didn't feel rushed at all. Very friendly snd informative. Hard to find good doctors like him

Amazing!
I owe so much to Dr Boyer. I live in TX but came to visit Denver. I’ve had significant back pain on my left side and have had multiple MRIs in recent months. I even have a surgery scheduled to fix a bulging disc on my left when I return to my home state. I kept telling my surgeons there that there was also pain on my right side, but they Could not identify any problems on two different MRIs. I came here to Colorado and the pain increased significantly. Dr. Boyer was able to Identify 2 significant problems in my right side side. He did an emergency surgery & fixed those issues. They were both so bad that I likely would not have been able to regain use of my right leg in the future, had i not had that surgery. One disc was crushing my nerves against my spine. Another disc had a cyst on it that was adhering to a nerve. It was a complicated procedure. I am now pain-free, except for the surgery itself. Dr. Boyer is also extremely kind, sensitive and encouraging. I highly recommend him.

I can only say that Dr Boyer’s is the best neurosurgeon in my opinion. The office he practices at is state of the art and I got treated very well. Dr Boyer’s has done two previous surgeries on me and both have been pretty successful. I just have bad back issues. Dr Boyer’s‘s kind he cares, and if he says he’s going to do something he does it, thank you Dr Boyer’s you have a wonderful staff. Sincerely, Kimberly Rodgers.

Dr. Kevin Boyer is an exceptional neurosurgeon who recently performed a c5 disk replacement on me. From start to finish, he displayed an unparalleled level of kindness & helpfulness that truly set him apart. Throughout the entire process, he was quick & attentive, always making sure to answer any questions I had & ensuring that I felt comfortable & informed every step of the way. He listened to me attentively, never rushing or dismissing my concerns, & was incredibly helpful in explaining the entire procedure & what to expect both during & after the surgery. He was always kind, compassionate, & patient, taking the time to explain everything in detail & putting me at ease whenever I had concerns or questions. Overall, I can't recommend Dr. Boyer highly enough. He is an exceptional doctor who truly goes above and beyond to ensure his patients are well cared for. I am so grateful for everything he has done for me. His PA is pretty awesome too. Thank you for helping me. Truly.

Dr. Boyer is a great doctor! Unlike other doctors who wanted to rush me to surgery, he wanted me to try physical therapy. I am so thankful I listened! No surgery, and my back/leg pain from herniated disc is gone!

Lumbar Fusion
My lumbar fusion surgery changed my life. Dr.Boyer was the first and only surgeon that didn’t try to convince me to just use pain meds/narcotics. My surgery went as planned and was successful for all intents and purposes. I was rid of excruciating pain that was once told it couldn’t be surgically repaired. THANK YOU to Dr.Boyer and his staff.

He is terrible. He lied and I will never go back. His progress notes don’t make any sense and are contradicting. He dismissed the MRI reports and made up his own impressions.

Dr. B promised I would feel fantastic right after my surgery. I should have purchased sea front property in Colorado. I am in chronic pain. I am now disabled enabled to work. While in Florida, Dr. B refused to accept this. He dropped me as patient. My second opinion confirmed my physical condition.

Disabled after surgery – Sep 21, 2021
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Boyer?
After I passed out and fell down some stairs I was taken to Aurora South where they couldn't figure out why my left arm wouldn't work - x-rays showed nothing broken or injured. After scans and MRI Dr Boyer found the injury to my spinal column in my neck and did the most miraculous surgery to protect the spinal cord from further damage and allowed the nerves to completely heal giving me full functionality of my arm. I am eternally grateful for his fantastic work!!!

I lost the use of my healthy right arm due to surgery for spinal stenosis by Dr Boyer. Not surprised he has left the Bradenton, FL area; others have had similar issues with him there. Proceed at your own risk!

A++++ . Our 85-year-old mother from Colorado Springs was told by other doctors that due to her condition of her spine, surgery was out of the question and was referred to a pain management physician. We then met Dr. Boyer. We are so grateful to report that Dr. Boyer gave our mom’s life back. It has now been 4 weeks – she is completely healed. She is off all pain medicine, and her incredible spirit has now returned. If you or your loved one has lost hope - PLEASE call him!

In early Dec.2017 I was in so much back/leg pain that I was using a walker. MRI showed L3/L4 problem which was pinching nerves. I was referred to Dr.Boyer by my PCP. I met with Dr.Boyer and he advised a fusion was needed. Fortunately surgery was scheduled within days. Hours after the surgery I was up walking without the pain I was living with. Words can not describe that pain free feeling. Recovery was short with a couple weeks of home PT. I am so grateful for Dr.Boyer. I highly recommend him.

I was having a lot of pain on a daily basis and heard about Dr. Boyer for help. The doctor took time to explain the surgery and rehabilitation. When I made the decision to go ahead with the surgery I felt confident in making the right choice. Post surgery the doctor and his staff followed up until the recovery and pain was gone. One of the best conservative doctors around. Keep up the great work Doc. Thank you very much and would definitely recommend!!!!!!

So amazing to find a doctor - particularly a surgeon - who actually listens! He considers surgery a last resort, as it should be but rarely is. He took his time, explained things clearly, was reassuring and professional throughout. High recommend.
