I have been going to ROC for 20 years & I won't go anywhere else! Dr. Boyden just replaced my hip & everything went awesome. He has also replaced both knees in the past, so we are working on me becoming a "bionic Grandma". His staff is very friendly and professional! He listens & answers questions without rushing on to his next patient. Thank you Dr. B!!

Everyone is friendly and professional. There is no wait. I was seeing exactly on time by X-ray and the doctor . The medical assistant was very helpful. Dr Boyden listened to my issue and explained everything very clearly.

Always good care by Dr. Boyden who makes me feel he is interested in my knee issues. Questions answered and suggestions for future care made. I have been seeing him since 2009.
