My visit with Dr. Boltax was exactly what I was hoping for. I wanted to present my problems to the provider and then have him take all of that in and look at my testing to see what that was showing and use the both to come up with a plan. Dr. Boltax asked great questions while my visit and I feel he really did understand my problems and health concerns and then he showed my what my PFT's were reporting and then he game planned to help with my lungs and decrease any problems they have been giving me. I would recommend him to all of my family and friends.

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.
