It was a good explanation, my only concern was I left with a couple prescriptions, but not sure why I needed them. Maybe I was unclear.

I was so impressed with everyone. My Dr. Really explained everything so I would understand.it I feel he really understood how I was feeling. I have been dealing with my disease for over 45 years and to have someone really understand it really helped me..

Very happy with Dr Boltax. Very knowledgeable about a disease most doctors do not recognize. Took the time needed to help me and reassure me that the therapy is what I need. I would highly recommend him to anyone with sarcoidosis.

Dr. Boltax didn't seem to be concerned with the new and continuing symptoms I have been having. He just kept saying that he would just defer to the Infectious Disease Specialist (who I was seeing in an hour) as to how to proceed with the pneumocystis pneumonia. I guess I can understand, but I still needed answers.

Visit was via phone. Felt I got better attention due to nature of this being a 1st visit & not being face-to-face he had to concentrate more on questions/responses than relying on visual cues. Unlike other Drs. Perhaps this is just his nature anyway.
