Gary Boyd
"Dr. Boyd was the best GI doc I have ever met. I am an RN and I would recommend him (and the Clinic) to anyone that needs that type of service. He dilated the anastomis (the connection between the pouch and the small intestine) so I would quit vomiting. I am eating great now and all thanks to Dr. Boyd."

"He met with a group of us and then individually. He was very straight forward and full of information (good and risky) I loved him. I have my surgery in 3 weeks. I'll let you know more then. The Office staff is wonderful. Freda helped a great deal. Very structured aftercare. Support group. Have met with Dr. B again and just 2 days until surgery. He is really wonderful. His office staff has been wonderful. Freda answered all the questions she could and then Dr. B. answered the rest. Any person trying to pick a pysician in our area should really consider Dr. B. He is the best! After Surgery: Everyone I had spoken to prior to surgery were really impressed with Dr. B. I was too, but after surgery my pain was never gotten in the bearable stage. I think he was afraid to give me too much medicine, but I had a great deal of pain. The nurses on the floor seemed to be "afraid" to call him for new orders. I tried to tell them that he couldn't hurt them. I just wish there could have been better pain management. I am sure with patients that have no complications the pain is not so bad. One thing that puzzled me was when the nurse told me that he has identical orders for every patient. They said he finds that it works and doesn't want to change it. I would think that each patient should be treated as an individual. Maybe this was just a bad experience for me. I hope it doesn't ever happen to anyone else. One other thing..immediately after surgery when he went to talk with my family, he told them everything went as planned..no surprises....and then the next day he tells me that he nicked my spleen and I had blood loss and a spleenectomy. I can't figure out why he would tell them all went as expected when it didn't. Go figure!!!"

"When I arrived to the floor I was in a great deal of pain. The nurse had several other patients. (I was put on the Pediatric Wing) For over 2 hours I screamed in pain then my sister noticed that the Morphine was not hooked up to me, it was going on the floor. Needless to say, my pain was not controlled the entire time I was in the hospital except the night before discharge I was give Lortab 10/650 (2). The nurses seemed to be afraid to call the doctor. They all said, "he won't change anything". I had to beg them to call the doctor. As you can see, my experience was not a good one. Also I was in the hospital for 7 days and had 4 different rooms. First they put me in a room by myself, then they "needed" my room so they put me in with a teenage girl. My family requested a private room, so I was moved that time at our request. Then the night before discharge they moved me again so a "pediatric" patient could have my room. Now I want to add: On December 7th I had to go to the Digestive Disease Center at ETMC to have my stoma dilated and it was like a whole different hospital. ALL of the staff in the DDC were wonderful. Dr. Gary Boyd was teh BEST GI doc I have ever met. He truly cares about his patients. He not only dilated my stoma, but it appears that the dilatation put enough pressure that it fixed a leak that I had in my pouch. I am thrilled with ALL of the people in this department. If there was an award I could give them..I certainly would. They ALL helped each other and I never heard a single negative word even though I was right beside the nurse's desk. I would recommend Dr. Boyd and the DIgestive Disease Center to anyone. THanks so much!!!"
