"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.

Very good communicator, easy to discuss protocol for progress going forward. Nicole and staff are wonderful, too! Comfortable office, very pleased 👍
Dr. B was very personable and his examination of my situation was totally understandable!
Andrew was fine but I really only spent a few minutes with him....He gave me a prescription for an MRI. That's 3 weeks away and no one mentioned that therapy may be an option or pain meds...When I got my MRI date, I assumed that they would schedule an office appointment to go over the findings, but.....NO...they never mentioned a fullow up appointment. If I hadn't thought of that 2 days later, I would have had to waite more weeks to get a follow up diagnosis.They just seemed to ignore scheduling and made me feel like I was an idiot for asking. I got the feeling that if I hadn't asked about scheduling a follow up consultation, I would have ended up on their "just didn't get it done list ". ..
Awesome Dr. easy to talk to , explains everything in detail. Gives the best care !!
