The meanest, rudest, no heart, no care for your voice and pain. He put me in worse pain and walked out of the 10 minute appointment when my husband and I needed help desperately since it’s kept me unemployed for 19 months, without a care! Do not expect this doctor to listen or help because he’s only about himself. What happened to good patient care? Sad!
Long wait. Dr Didn't preview report stated I just have a small herniation (at different spot than my concern from report). Said my pain wouldn't be caused by what he saw and said to do NCT when asked what would be possible treatments he said he didn't know until he got results. Had me walk across the room and then said or can just refer you to Iowa City. MRI report showed nerve root compression and slight spinal cord compression in upper thoracic but that wasn't addressed. Then when I asked for referal for second opinion was... read more

Dr. Boarini's reviews emphasize his direct and assertive personality—you're not meeting him for tea. His straightforwardness should not intimidate you. Your condition is of utmost importance to you, but rest assured that Dr. Boarini has treated many individuals with similar or worse conditions. He performed a cervical laminectomy for me, and my surgical site healed within a month. Without the surgery, I would have had less than a year, as Dr. Boarini informed me. Initially, Dr. Boarini scared me, but looking back, it was fea... read more
Office visit with Dr. Boarini. He closely reviewed my new MRI with me and determined no new problems in cervical vertebra had developed since major surgery 11 years ago. Determined pain was from shoulder impingement and not neck. Recommended PT. Excellent interactions with him and his staff. Very pleased.

William, thank you for taking the time to leave your positive review!
Wait at least 30 mins to an hour to see then if overweight won't help. Will keep telling you to come back and get more tests. Also will have you walk to the end of the room (4 steps) then say you'll be ok just loose weight. I redid mri for him and nerve test. Said nerve test was good but could see how bad my back was. Still will not help. Previous surgen actually went over and showed me mri scans and why he recommended surgery. He left the practice a week before surgery and I was stuck with this guy.

Ive only met Dr. Boarini once in the hospital after my Chiari surgery. (He didn't preform the surgery, he was discharging me.) I can’t believe how rude he was. He never looked at my incision before insisting that I would be leaving that day. Not only did he never look at me to check if I was fine to leave, he instead had a verbal yelling match with my mom in my room. My mom was just visiting me. I’m a young adult so for some reason he assumed that she was babying me because she was there. I had never met this man before so I... read more
I am confused at the low scores. I am almost 2 months post op. I had a herniated disc and several bone spurs. Dr. Boarini is a master at surgery. I could not have had a better surgeon. He fully explained everything before and even asked if I had more questions the day of. It was my 1st surgery and he had me secure knowing I was in good hands. I highly recommend him.
The spinal surgery that Dr. Boarini performed was very successful. I was losing control of my arms and legs. After the surgery I regained what had been lost. He did very well, and ten years later at age 72, I am very fit and active.
