Dr. Boyd completed his orthodontic residency at Tufts University. While he and his wife Ali loved their time in South Carolina and the Northeast, they are excited to be putting down roots in Richmond, VA. Dr. Boyd and Dr. Ali are settling into their new home in Glen Allen, VA, and enjoy spending time with family, friends, and their beloved British labs, Lilly and Lyla. They are also thrilled to welcome their daughter, Hadley James, into the world, born September 7th 2023.
In his free time, Dr. Boyd enjoys spending time on the water, boating or scuba diving, playing cards with his wife, and cooking! He and his wife have recently mastered sushi making, so ask him at your next appointment what kind of rolls they have been making.
Dr. Boyd looks forward to meeting you at your next appointment and continuing to provide exceptional care along with the team at River City Orthodontics!
