Dr. Dale Boyd is an excellent orthopedic surgeon. I had knee surgery with him January 2025 and again Sept 2026 (different knee), and I’ve been so pleased with the care he and his team have provided for both of my knees. He is thorough, pays attention to detail, and truly listens to my concerns. His expertise shows, and his staff is top-notch—professional, caring, and helpful. I’m grateful for his help getting me back to normal life and the activities I enjoy. I highly recommend Dr. Boyd and his team!

Dr. Boyd gave me a more thorough exam than I can remember having at Emerge Ortho. He truly listened and made me feel we were both part of my treatment. All staff was courteous and friendly.

Dr. Boyd took great care of me. Would recommend him to anyone. His support staff has been very short and seemingly bothered at every encounter. I did not get the sense they were as invested in my care as Dr. Boyd.

Dr. Boyd asked questions and took the time to explain my MRI results and what options were available for my diagnosis. He offered a couple of options and told me to call him if I had any more questions.
