"I believe treatment should be individually based on the patient. Medicine should not be administered in a cook-book fashion where goals, expectations, and injury patterns guide treatment plans unique to each person. Finally, surgery should only be considered as a final option when conservative treatments fail or when particular injuries mandate surgery."
He received his medical degree from NOVA Southeastern in Fort Lauderdale, FL, and went on to his Orthopedic Residency at Largo Medical Center. Dr. Boltuch furthered his shoulder and elbow training in Fellowship at the Holy Cross Orthopaedic Institute in Ft. Lauderdale, FL. After completing specialty training, he was accepted to the Alps Surgery Institute in Annecy in France for an Advanced Arthroscopic Shoulder and Upper Extremity Fellowship with world-renowned surgeons, Laurent and Thibault Lafosse.
