Dr. Boike graduated from Harvard College and Wayne State University School of Medicine, before completing a residency in obstetrics/gynecology at Wayne State University and a fellowship in gynecologic oncology at the University of Miami. Dr. Boike practiced in Flint and the tri-city area for 20 years before becoming director of gynecologic oncology at McLaren Bay Region and Karmanos Cancer Institute Bay Region in January 2016.
Dr. Boike began performing laparoscopic surgery in 1991, shortly after its development, and he participated in all six national studies of laparoscopic surgery for gynecologic cancers. He developed and was the program director for a series of national training courses that were offered to all the gynecologic oncology fellows-in-training and their faculty. Dr. Boike was one of the early drivers in the evolution and development of minimally invasive surgery for gynecologic cancers. With the approval of the da Vinci Robotic System® in 2006, he again established himself as a national leader and has now performed over 1,400 procedures.
