Although Dr Boyton initially seemed to really care about [NAME REMOVED] her lack of follow through is disconcerting.

I had seen provider previously yet when I discussed my continued on-going issues with her it seemed she had little recollection of our previous visit. Even within our visit she was asking me the same questions multiple times. I thought it seemed strange with her lack of retention and I went back and read her office note from our previous visit. I was very surprised to see some information incorrect. I understand needing ask something again if you forget, but overall very unhappy with how it seemed she was not listening to me during this visit or my previous visit.

Dr Boynton is the best doctor I have ever seen, she pays attention to details, ask lots of questions to understand my condition, she took time to explains things to me, received a lot of really good and important information, I feel so confident that the treatment is going to work. I trust her completely with my health.

I have already recommended to my sister. I couldn't have asked for anyone to care more about what's going on.
