Zero stars. System made me give one. This will be the worst review I've ever given for anything. If I could give less stars I would. Kept me waiting for 35 minutes before spending about 90 seconds with me. Obviously had not looked at my file, much less read it in detail. Dr Taylor (same practice) had referred me to Beatty to do a different treatment so Medicare would cover it. Beatty agreed with that idea but insisted on an MRI. I am a snowbird and was successfully given a first injection in December by my Dr in Pennsylvania. He worked off the same MRI of which the results are in the file Beatty ignored. Beatty said not good enough to read those results. I understand the MRI was a couple yrs old but the point is that my Dr in PA has used that MRI to treat and relieve my pain as recently as Dec. Its' obviously still valid. I reluctantly took the prescription for MRI. Had another question after leaving their office. Asst or Sec (not sure of title) called me back and told me that even with MRI and diff procedure, Medicare would not cover it. I asked why Beatty told me otherwise just hours prior, she basically said he doesn't know what he's talking about. Very impressive. One Dr (Taylor) says yep, we can do this- see my colleague. Beatty (horrible "bedside manner" also) agrees but wants to add an unnecessary MRI. Then the Asst/Sec tells me something else. Every person seemed to tell me something different. Gives you the idea that none of them have a clue. Go somewhere else...it just can't get any worse than this. I'm waiting until April when I get back to PA and muddling along with Advil and Tylenol until then. Beats having these amateurs work on me.

As with every visit with
Dr Boltuch, I left feeling better physically and emotionally. Great care from the minute you walk in the door until you leave. Couldn't recommend this facility or the wonderful care, compassion, and professionalism of DR. BOLTUCH.

I need a knee replacement. I was born on bone. Dr. James is a total professional, extremely knowledgeable and cares about the patient’s well-being quality of life. I had a new robotic replacement and within 10 days you couldn’t tell that I even had a scar. Totally satisfied with the procedure.

Dr. Boltuch is amazing!! He is a talented surgeon and approaches his patients with a kind and caring manner. He repaired my fractured elbow and ulnar a year ago. I have regained full motion of my arm and hand!!
He is a 10 out of five!! Thank you Dr. Boltuch!

Dr. Boltuch is a GREAT Doctor. He takes his time and explains EVERYTHING to you.
Yesterday I went for a follow-up visit for my Gel Injections to my knee. I have had partial relief from the shots.
I was still in pain some days, and THIS COLD WEATHER IS NOT HELPING!!!
He suggested PRP… that’s where they take your blood, spin it, and re- inject it back into the area that is hurting, my knee!!!
Dr. Boltuch said it would get worse, before it got better!!!
He told me to ice it 20 minutes for 4 to 5 hours, take Tylenol Extra Strength,
Not to ride the exercise bike for 2 weeks, or work out with my trainer…
I can get Acupuncture , My Stretch Lab (only have them do the upper body, and Compression… That has been my routine for the last year.!!!
I will go see him in 6 weeks.
He also said it may or may not work!!!
At least he’s very honest with me. I so appreciate that with a Dr.
This procedure is not covered by insurance…

Dr James is now our doctor of choice. He explained my husbands condition clearly and gave us sufficient time to discuss the situation. We were very impressed with our service. We highly recommend a visit to him for your problem.
