“I think all doors are open. I think if somebody has a dream or a passion, you should just keep chasing it. And you’re going to hit some roadblocks along the way, all of us do no matter what our background. But just continuing to believe in yourself and finding those moments that for you make it worthwhile,” says Dr. Boylan. With only 1 in 20 neurosurgeons across the country being women, Dr. Boylan believes giving women a chance is so important. “I’m a neurosurgeon who just happens to be female, I’m not a female neurosurgeon”, she says.
“At Hartford HealthCare’s Ayer Neuroscience Institute, we’ve taken the concept of a second opinion to a new level. Each week, all our specialists—neurologists, neurosurgeons, neuropsychologists, neurointensivists, neuro-critical care nurses, EEG Techs—meet to review each individual case. Together, they pool their knowledge and experience to give you the most advanced treatment plan possible”, states the official website of Ayer Neuroscience Institute.

Following her training, she attained board certification in neurological surgery through the American Board of Neurological Surgery.
