About Me

Dr. Bovard is a board certified bariatric surgeon, who joined the WakeMed family when Bariatric Specialists of NC became part of WakeMed Bariatric Surgery & Medical Weight Loss.

Originally from Colorado, Dr. Bovard completed his undergraduate degree at Colorado State University. After a stint in the US Air Force which afforded him the opportunity to travel worldwide, he matriculated into medical school at Ross University School of Medicine.

During medical school Dr. Bovard had his first opportunity to learn about weight loss surgery first hand from one of the forerunners of modern bariatric surgery, Dr. Merlin Ottman in Colorado. It was this experience that would set the course of his life. Dr. Bovard completed his residency in Baltimore at St. Agnes Hospital, a Johns Hopkins University affiliate hospital that was home to Maryland’s most successful and prolific bariatric program.

Dr. Bovard is Board Certified by the American Board of Surgeons, Fellow of the American College of Surgeons, a Fellow of the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery and a member of the North Carolina Medical Society. He is presently pursuing another nationally recognized specialty board in medical weight loss. After his recent attendance of advanced post-doctoral specialty training at Harvard School of Medicine, Dr. Bovard hopes to be one of only few bariatric surgeons in the country to achieve the status of Diplomat of the American Board of Obesity Medicine. With this designation he will be offering the highest standards of both surgical as well as medical weight loss options.

Dr. Bovard resides in Raleigh with his wife and two beautiful children. Outside of the office, he enjoys playing golf and traveling with family and friends.

Dr. Bovard is very nice and professional. Office manager is very poor at communicating and does not get back to you regarding billing questions or concerns. That part has been horrible over the last year, so I would not recommend this office to anyone

08/31/2023

No, not in this visit, but rather when I actually had surgery. After the procedure Dr. Bovard noticed my blood pressure was staying rather low. During my many conversations with Dr. Bovard I always stressed to him the various situations I found myself in due to having factor 5 and being on the blood thinner [Rx]. After watching me in recovery and seeing that my blood pressure was still not coming up after an hour or so, Dr. Bovard that like you knew the problem and that I was []. I ended up spending one week in the hospital after []. During this visit, I finally had the chance to thank Dr. Bovard for listening to all the things I told him about my medical history and then knowing all that you know exactly what to do to get me in a stable state

06/17/2023

Dr. Bovard !! Is an outstanding doctors !! He really restored my faith in my future and happiness of self love !! The one thing he said to me that’s been so motivating and assuring was “Your fine the way you are but this is just a little super power to get you where you see yourself to be “!!! That touched my heart because sometimes as women and we bare the children, we feel like no one sees us or want to see us so it can cause some insecurity!! But what he said to me is that no matter what ! I’m enough! And he is going to show me a way of completion and how to get to my goal of happy !! Now I’m not saying I don’t think I’m not gorgeous!! But sometimes that professional conversation and of real life talk matters so much !! So over all he is 100% amazing in my experience!! The customer service help needs a bit improvement on the professional interaction over the phone !! But Dr. Bovard is excellent!!

I could not call out any one person over the other. Dr. Bovard, his team they are ALL excellent. I have never even had a wisp of a negative interaction. The best compliment that I can give them is that I am sending my son to Dr. Bovard and his staff. I am *that* mother and trusting him (and them) with my child is far more of an unequivocal endorsement than anything else I could offer.
