Dr Boyd was my savior. I new he was ill n was so very devastated to just learn a few weeks go of his passing. This man truly was for our cause. I was blessed to be given him as my chronic pain Dr for more thn 12yrs. He was so kind n compassionate always listened n worked so hard to get me functioning somewhat again. I am thankful Dr Sharon Baker helped for a short time n nw I as well as many others are lost without Dr Boyd. No1 cares nor wants to tackle this pain that I have endured since 1997. Dr Boyd helped me thru my fusion surgeries n I am terribly sad I never was able to say thank u nor was I able to say goodbye to the most incredible Dr for my cause. I pray often that u can hear me Dr Boyd when I say I'm ever grateful u were put in my life and am lost without your help and understanding. May u rest in peace. God took u way too quick n soon. May God bless ur family after such a great loss he spoke of u to my husband n I often n was so proud. Kat Gauthier

I am so sorry to discover that Dr. Boyd has passed away & truly hope that his patients will be able to find someone else as compassionate & caring as he was. I was one of the first chronic back pain patients for whom he prescribed morphine in 1987, when he literally risked his license to treat me. It made the difference between almost no quality of life and optimal ability to enjoy life for me. After having been treated by other Drs. as if I was faking the pain in spite of it being so severe I couldn't keep food down, it was such a relief to be believed & treated with dignity by Dr. Boyd. I appreciated that he took time to ask how my busband & kids were coping. He even continued treating me after I moved to BC in 2005 until I was able to find a Dr. who was willing to take my case. He will be sorely missed!!! My heartfelt sympathies go to his family, whom he adored.

I was a patient of Dr. David Boyd for 9 years. He was a great physician, one of a kind. I have had no luck trying to find a doctor that will treat my pain like Dr. Boyd has. If anyone knows of any such Doctor close to him can you please let me know. Help is needed. I have just realized of his passing a couple minutes ago on here. I am really sorry to all of his family and friends. My prayers go out to all of you and all of the people he has touched. May God create more people like him. Sincerely, Bruce Larkin Windsor Ontario

The medical community has lost one of the most attentive, compassionate practitioners around. Dr. Boyd treated my boyfriend for his chronic pain for a little over 10 yrs. and never once doubted him. He will be missed immensely. His shoes will be hard to fill. RIP Dr. Boyd. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family.

I wuld not likely b alive today were it not for Dr. David Boyd. The only complaint I would have is it is really difficult to get the staff to call back on apptments when U have been unable to make one on last visit due to leaving the appt. at noon. I have been trying to get a return phone call for about three weeks now. Otherwise I would highly recoment this Doctor to anywon. If anyone can solve the problem it would likely b him.

I am without words to express my sorrow in learning of Dr. Boyd's illness. I feel I would not be here today if it weren't for this man's compassionate heart, wisdom and professionalism towards those who are dealing with severe chronic pain. Dr. Boyd I thank YOU for being the best doctor around! I feel both privileged and honoured to have had you treat me as your patient. Twelve years you treated me kinder than any other doctor. You are a wonderful person and will never be forgotten. - Laura
