About Me

The lessons my patients teach me, stay with me forever.  Lesson #1: Don’t let fear win.

In addition to a strong clinical focus, I have a passion for cancer patient survivorship. I studied the multiplicity of experiences of cancer survivors and have produced award-winning blogs for the American Society of Clinical Oncologists (ASCO) and “Cure” Magazine. Additionally, I collaborated with PBS39 to produce an Emmy-nominated documentary, “Close to Home: Cancer Survivorship,” which featured the stories and advice of local cancer survivors.

I am the founder of the Catherine Boulay Foundation, a not-for-profit charitable organization I established in honor of my late grandmother who passed away from cancer when I was young. The Catherine Boulay Foundation seeks to improve the quality of life for those with cancer and their families by sharing love, kindness, support and wisdom from those who have shared similar journeys. 

I am a board-certified, fellowship-trained gynecologic oncologist with more than 25 years’ experience. I received my medical degree from the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine and completed an internship and residency at Magee-Women’s Hospital, part of UPMC. I completed a fellowship in gynecologic oncology at the Milton S. Hershey Medical Center at Penn State College of Medicine.

My professional experience includes holding numerous leadership roles and stewarding education and research endeavors. I have served as principal investigator for clinical trials, co-chair and chair of IRB and Quality Assurance/Performance Improvement groups, respectively. I previously served as assistant clinical professor for Penn State University.

Professional honors have included CREOG National Teaching Awards, Felix Rutledge Fellowship in Gynecologic Oncology at the MD Anderson Cancer Center, and the Berlex Faculty Development Course. I am published in the New England Journal of Medicine, Gynecologic Oncology and Clinics of North America.

I am an accomplished vocalist, having recorded multiple albums and performed in numerous venues including Miller Symphony Hall, PPL Center, Coca-Cola Park and Penn’s Peak. I am currently working on a new album, titled “Joy.”

In his spare time, Dr. Boulay enjoys furniture making, skiing, sailing and history. He resides in Allentown with his wife, Julie. They have two daughters.

My experience was Excellent. Dr. Bouley was amazing. He was knowledgeable, professional, and most of all made me feel comfortable Explaining my diagnosis and treatment plan. I lost my hearing aid during the office visit and the front desk. Staff was gracious enough to take me back into the exam room and help me look for it. Dr. Boulet saw came in with his fellow and help search the room. Although, I did not find it he said they would contact me if the office did. All I can say is as a healthcare professional. He is a true definition of A caring, compassionate, physician!
