For many years I felt tired all the time. Then I had blood clots (pulmonary embolism) in my right…read morelung in October 2021 after having COVID-19. I started seeing Dr. Boyd in January 2022 to try naturopathic instead of conventional medicine to address my problems.
I paid $500 for 90 minute in-office visits about every three months, while 30-minute phone calls cost me $175. I also paid extra fees for blood tests, supplements, prescriptions and special orders. After my first lung clot, she agreed I needed to continue taking the blood thinner Eliquis. When my blood tests looked normal, Dr. Boyd suggested that we could use a natural supplement to control any clots and that Eliquis would no longer be needed. She later stated that she had not advised me to stop the blood thinner, though I understood otherwise.
Each visit included muscle testing and I had blood work done about a couple of times a year. Over a period of three years, Dr. Boyd said I had: parasites in my gut, a general virus infection, low hormone (testosterone) levels, high COVID-19 antibodies (a blood clot risk), Lyme disease, another viral infection and finally toxic mold. She then put me on some more expensive medicines and supplements. Each time I visited it was a new problem and a new treatment with old problems conveniently forgotten.
The goal posts kept changing. At every visit I waited about 30 minutes while she muscle tested my large number of supplements and medications. She then had me wait another 15 minutes while she silently wrote her report, instead of listening to my concerns.
In June 2025, I had a fever of 100.7 - 101°F and a kidney stone. She told me to go to urgent care instead of seeing her. She recommended this even though she doesn't trust regular doctors. That trip to the hospital will end up costing me thousands of dollars, and almost resulted in an unneeded operation that could have injured or killed me. In my experience, she focused primarily on conditions she had previously identified
Most recently, Dr. Boyd said mold was making me sick before testing had even been done on my apartment. She told me to move, offered a lawyer to sue my landlord to get out of the lease, and then ordered a costly mold (ERMI) test. The results were high, but the EPA said the test was invalid due to several factors and other experts said the test wasn't reliable.
Dr. Boyd disagreed and refused to read two articles I sent questioning the test. Later I was told she read the articles but did not leave a response for me on the patient portal. They said I was in denial just like Dr. Boyd's husband when the two of them experienced mold in their new house. When I asked if Dr. Boyd could return my call with a brief complimentary response, a front office staff member replied, "We don't work for nothing." I felt that their tone was curt and dismissive.
Finally for over the last three plus years, I have spent more than $5,000 on visits/calls plus several thousand dollars for supplements and prescriptions. Dr. Boyd isn't licensed in Texas as a naturopathic doctor, but according to her, Dr. Christa O'Leary, D.O., who owns the clinic, simply signs off on all her plans without review. The constantly changing goal posts (diagnoses and treatments), extra waiting, and growing bills have made me wonder if this care has really helped me.
The clinic contacted me later after reading my review and gave a written response to my review that suggested I did not understand the complexity of the human body and the amount of medical intervention needed to fix multiple issues. They also intimated that I was looking for a quick fix. This was my response:
Thank you for your response. I understand HIPAA and clinic policies, but my review wasn't about legal constraints--it was about the experience of investing over $10,000 and three years into a model of care that felt inconsistent and opaque.
Your reply avoids the core concerns: shifting diagnoses, reversed recommendations, refusal to engage with outside evidence, and reliance on a disputed mold test. These aren't just "opinions on the Internet"--they're documented critiques from experts.
I didn't expect a quick fix. I expected continuity, accountability, and respect. A simple sorry that things didn't work out would have shown some respect. Instead, I was told over the phone that I needed to understand that Dr. Boyd was experiencing trauma over her own issues with mold and subsequent litigation. I decided to leave my review after I encountered escalating costs and a clinic that deflects criticism and valid concerns about one of their doctors with policy language and dismissal. Patients deserve better.
