Very friendly
Guy had some very strange, unscientific and unintelligent opinions on my health issues. My issues have a known root cause but not relevant to what we needed to discuss. Made some comments that just really showed he doesn't know anything about it. What was stranger is he did the consult but doesn't do the procedure. Like why come in with that energy then?
Very through and patient. Enjoyed our discussion. His explanation of a possible solution made sense.
Very attentive to my questions.
Dr. Bortniker immediately made me feel comfortable, was very personable and friendly. He gave me the facts in a non-judgmental way and didn’t sugar coat anything, gave me options in a very non-opinionated manner but explained the pros and cons in a simple and understandable way. He was very thorough and checked for understanding before I left, and I felt his well wishes were sincere. I would highly recommend him to anyone who was in need of his services.
