Why Choose Health Navigator, LLC
Our Mission
No one should have to face a difficult diagnosis or important surgery decision alone. Health Navigator helps remove the confusion, access challenges, and uncertainty so patients and families can make smarter healthcare decisions when it matters most.
Scott Boyden, Owner
Personal Navigation Experience: For more than a decade, I served as the primary navigator and advocate for my late wife throughout her battle with metastatic breast cancer. I coordinated care across physicians, hospitals, and clinical trials while helping evaluate complex treatment options and manage side effects.
Practical Experience: I am the son of a surgeon, have a BS in Biology from Bucknell University, and an MBA from the University of Utah.
Corporate Background: 15 years as a healthcare technology executive partnering with hospitals and physicians nationwide. I’ve worked inside the healthcare system—not just around it—and understand the friction points and incentives of providers, health systems, and patients.
Healthcare Navigator Early Adoption Results: During the first 18 months of Health Navigator, I developed Top Doc Reports across more than 20 medical specialties and helped clients nationwide navigate some of life’s most important healthcare decisions.

How We Are Different
Most healthcare navigators fall into two traditional categories:
Marketplace Navigators: Publicly funded resources designed mainly to help consumers understand health insurance options and basic enrollment.
Hospital or Oncology Navigators: Employees of a health system or specialty group who help coordinate appointments, paperwork, and care within that organization.
Neither model is designed to provide independent, data-driven guidance on whether you are seeing the right doctor for your diagnosis or procedure.
Health Navigator vs. Standard Navigation
