Diane C. Boykin, MD

"I have been with Dr. Boykin since I was younger. She was the OBGYN that could get me in right away when I found out I was pregnant with my child and took such great care of me. I stopped going to the OBGYN after I had my son because I thought, "heck, I don't need to go. I'm not pregnant". Well, I started going to Boykin again this time last year. She has been great. Every time I go into one of her rooms and see her, she is so personable and asks about my son and family. I actually have an emergency going on to the point I went to to ER yesterday, was told to contact my OBGYN and let her know what was going on and see what she wanted to do, and she got me on the schedule for tomorrow. Great doctor and great nurses. Love them!"

"Find another Doctor! Beware patients, if you scheduled an appointment and you are running a few minutes late she (Dr Boykin) does not have a grace period. She does not care if you are having car trouble, if there is bad traffic, if you’re coming from the other side of the world! She won’t even ask why you were late. She is the most insensitive, dry personality, nonchalant doctor I’ve ever come across. She simply doesn’t care. She’s all about making money and not the care of the actual patient. I should have stopped coming a few years ago once I moved but since I’m familiar with her I stayed. I had an appointment today at 730 am. This office is located in Catonsville off of Baltimore national pike and I live in whitemarsh. I never changed doctors once I moved because I was going to her for almost ten years. I called the office all morning because I saw on my gps that I would run into traffic. No answer. Finally I get in touch with the receptionist and I asked what is your late policy or grace period? She stated they did not have one but it is up to the doctor but we encourage Our patients to still come in anyway. At this time my gps is saying I’ll be there in ten minutes. I explained to the receptionist that I’m ten minutes away and that I’m stuck in traffic due to the weather and rush hour. She said it’s fine come in and I’ll let the ladies know up front. I get there and the doctor tells the receptionist to inform me that I needed to reschedule and that she’s busy and has other patients to see! She didn’t even have the courtesy to come out and talk to me. I explained to the ladies up front that I called ahead and explained that I took off from work and the receptionist on the phone told me to still come in. I’ve been calling all morning to speak to the office manager Melinda who still has not returned my calls. It makes me so mad that Dr Boykin was so INSENSITIVE!!! I’ve never been turned away from a doc appointment because of lateness. Even if I had to wait I would have. Even if I got to my appointment at 730am sharp I wouldn’t been seen right away. I still would have to wait. But it’s ok for them to have patients wait 30 mins close to an hour to see the doctor. There wasn’t anyone else waiting in the receptionist area! But God forbid the doctor has to wait on the patient. I will be going elsewhere where the Doctor isn’t an A hole and actually cares and not in it just for the money."
