Mary S. Patient

I had a very unfortunate occurrence while visiting St. Pete. Because of the emergency nature, Dr Boltuch, someone I never met pretty rebuilt the left part of my thigh. His work is impeccable, his bedside manner so calming and I feel blessed he came into my life.

Dr. Boltuch skillfully reconstructed my shattered elbow, provided fantastic post-op care, patiently answered all my questions, and never made me feel as if he had somewhere else he needed to (or would rather) be. I would recommend him without any hesitation.
