Laura Boyd, MD

Dr. Boyd is by far THE BEST doctor I’ve ever had and I’ve been through NUMEROUS doctors due to various ailments. She’s very thorough, sincere, caring and dedicated. It’s very obvious that she cares very much for her patients. She listens to everything I have to say and is very detail oriented. She will literally help you in every way possible within her abilities. And any doctor that I’ve been referred to by Dr. Boyd has been awesome! I have zero doubts about service or anything when it comes her referrals (I’ve had several referrals already). The ONLY reason my medical symptoms have been controllable (to a certain extent) is all due to Dr. Boyd, especially with my severe migraines (I have seen over 7 doctors for my migraines and all of them have been very unsuccessful, therefore, I was constantly in and out of the hospital or bed ridden). I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better doctor. Oh, I forgot to mention that both of my children are under her care as well :)
Whether it’s for yourself or for your family, I highly recommend Dr. Boyd. She won’t disappoint you.
Lastly, the staff at Elmhurst Clinic in any department are great! Very friendly, courteous and always willing to help.

I don’t like going to the doctor. It’s scary. However, sometimes it is necessary and probably in one’s best interest to have a primary care physician. Finding a doctor is a very personal experience. Not one doctor is going to be right for everyone. I came to choose Dr. Boyd because she is young, a female, close to my job and had a positive Unilocal review. I mention these things because in my mind using these criteria gave me a pretty good chance of finding a doctor that I liked and felt comfortable with. So for instance, I only mention her age because my experience with older doctors, especially if you are a younger patient, is that they tend to devote very little time to hearing your issues. If you have more than one thing you want to talk about, you generally have to make multiple appointments. Not the case with Dr. Boyd. She was willing to talk about everything that was on my mind. And I only mention she is a female because, for me, it is easier to talk to a woman.
Now, I’ve only met Dr. Boyd once. I’ve also never been through any sort of trauma that required sustained attention. That being said, I have no doubt that she would be just as professional and attentive during those circumstance as she was during my visit to her clinic. I suggest to everyone to do their due diligence before choosing a healthcare professional, but in my case Dr. Boyd is the cat’s pajamas.

I’ve been with Elmhurst Clinic (which is the Family Practice she works out of) since I was a child and at one point or another have seen every single Family Practice doctor there. I’m pretty sure Dr Boyd is the youngest doctor there — and she is also BY FAR the best! I’ve had a handful of bad health probs in the past year (too many, considering I’m only 26) and she has been AWESOME. Each time I’ve come in, she’s taken the time to really listen to my complaints and analyze what the problems could be. Each time? She’s been completely accurate. Not only that, but after mentioning that I was unemployed and didn’t have insurance, she took the time to figure out a medicine very similar to the one I had been taking for — tada!– $ 96 dollars cheaper a month (!) and even pulled out a chart and informed me which pharmacy has the cheapest prices on all of the medicines I’m taking. Mind you, this was after I was told by another doctor that there was no cheaper medicine similar to the one I was taking.
Another great thing about Dr Boyd is that I’ve never had any trouble getting an appointment — in most cases, I’ve been able to get in within 24 hours of calling.
I highly recommend Dr Boyd to anyone who lives in this area and is looking for a new doctor.
