I have been seeing dr mike and so have my kids for several years. He is so patient and a great dr. He explained everything. His office staff has a bad attitude and are not helpful except his nurse. She is young and very nice and takes her time to listen. The other staff is not. If you see dr mike you will love him! Try to do all of your business with him or his nurse though. No one else in the office will help you! Keep up the good work, dr mike! And get a staff that helps people.

I have seen Dr. Boxum for 6 years now and have nothing but praise for the man. He is very caring, knowledgeable, and answers any questions and concerns with his best advice. A straight shooter. The office staff has always been very courteous and I have never had more than a 15 minute wait time. Very happy with my choice.

Dr. Dr. Michael Boxum I see that you are accepting new patients. I'm very impressed the way you treat your patients with such compassion. But im very displeased how you will not accept my family and I as new patients. We have excellent credit and great insurance. Your office manager states that you don't want us as new patients because my son already has a underline disease and that you don't want to be part of that. I also feel as though this is not you stating these mean things and its your office manager that is not wanting us as new patients..

Dr. Michael Boxum is an outstanding doctor! He treats everyone of his patients in a very caring manner. He is not in a hurry when he is treating a patient and he explains the treatment and your illness in terms that are understandable. Recently my grandson was in the hospital, and the care Dr. Boxum gave my grandson was very outstanding! I would highly recommend Dr. Boxum to all my family and friends!
