Thank you, Dr. Steven Boyce! You and the Med-Star support staff in Washington, DC hold a special corner in my heart for the many tireless hours devoted to my recovery from heart transplant surgery on March 14, 1999. Since that day, almost 25 yrs ago, I have reflected many times on our first introduction. You were so patient with me and calmed my woes - I was confident in your knowledge and experience in transplantation and more impressed with how much cared. ?? Maxine Ragland Ross

I owe my life to Dr Boyce, the staff at Medstar Washington Hospital Center in Washington D.C., and also to the Ft Washington Hospital medical staff in Prince Georges County for quickly assessing my condition and immediately transferring me to Medstar in time for surgery the following day. Dr Boyce is truly gifted. My family and friends thank you tremendously.....from the bottom of my new heart!

From the beginning, Dr. Boyce explained everything about my mother's surgery clearly and thoroughly. He answered all of our questions and has a calming bedside manner. Overall, our experience with Dr. Boyce was excellent.

Dr.Steven Boyce was my surgeon when I was diagnosed with cardiomyopathy. I needed a heart transplant back in 2001. I am now approaching my 10th year and going strong. Dr. Boyce, along with the staff at WHC were wonderful.I am forever grateful for his knowledge and professionalism. My surgery was late in the evening and Dr. Boyce was there all day working on other patients and into the night working on me. There are people making millions of dollars out there playing sports and here is a guy who gives you another chance at life!!!!! Go figure!!!! Dr. Boyce,thank you for giving me a second chance I will be forever grateful!
