Dr. Boltansky said he had commutated with [staff] and that was reassuring. He also said he had HPV squamous cell cancer in his nose and he understood what I was going through. He took time to understand stand my situation and that I was on a feeding tube and he researched the Osmolite to modify the allergy testing.

Provider was competent, charming, & respectful. I decided to see an allergist (based upon my symptoms & not having seen one in many years) I thought I acquired more allergies.. He informed me that my condition was best treated by a dermatologist. He did, however, order a blood test to see about one factor.. He assured me he will call me re the result. This is my first & only visit with Dr. Boltansky. He exudes confidence..
