    I've recommended Dr. Boucher to many friends and colleagues over the years and continue to do so.

  • Jan 31, 2024

    Dr. Boucher has an outstanding bedside manner. He makes you feel so very comfortable that he is actually sensitive to everything that you are experiencing. He did not brush you off. He listened intently and made sure you understood everything that he planned and the reasons for it. He let me know that surgery is inevitable but he didn't rush to say it needed to be done immediately. He wants to treat my immediate problem first.

  • Dec 28, 2023

    I've been with Dr. Boucher for my knee replacement and was always satisfied with his work.
