Dr. Boylan makes time to get to know you and your life circumstances/stressors that impact your health issues such as hypertension and diabetes, and then she helps you make individualized, realistic goals for changes to diet and activities that you can accomplish. She also follows up by reaching out to you if you forget to touch base with her about your progress with of a condition/illness😉

I have seen Dr. Boylan for about 7-8 years and she has always taken good care of me. She made me feel very comfortable and valued as an individual. Every issue or concern I shared with her about my health was addressed and I always felt heard. I highly recommend Dr. Boylan and Noreta Family Practice.

I am so happy we found Dr. Melissa Boylan and Noreta Family Medicine. As small business owners, providing quality health care benefits to our staff can be pricey but Dr. Boylan has a great solution and we couldn't be happier with her services. Affordable and very detailed health care. What else could you ask for? Thanks Dr. Boylan!!

I feel so lucky to have found Dr Melissa Boylan at Noreta Family Medicine. I’m a woman in my early 30s and I’ve gone a decade overlooking the importance of a primary care doctor and trying to keep up my health with over the counter supplements. Blindly guessing... Dr Boylan makes me feel so comfortable and at ease. A doctor who CARES. My overall health is improving in ways I hadn’t thought possible and I could not be more grateful.
Catherine Smithdeal
Dr. Boylan is a wonderful and thorough doctor. She does everything herself which cuts so many costs and her membership plan makes so much sense to help avoid insurance and big government control. I am now a big fan of direct primary care and will continue to support her business.

Dr. Boylan is amazing! She is thorough and kind. Always available even after hours and weekends to check in. So glad my daughters and wife found someone they can trust.

Dr. Boylan exceeded my expectations from the first time she called me. Her comprehensive approach, calm demeanor, clear policies and communication have helped me finally feel at peace with a family doctor. I haven’t even tapped into all of the many services offered at Noreta, but I am so grateful to build a relationship with a doctor that understands both the fiscal and physical problems of this era.
