      He is brilliant, kind, caring and personable. I finally feel like my problems, ongoing for 65 years will be manageable. He is terrific at providing explanations to make complex medical information easy to understand. He belongs in this practice of brilliant physicians. This is now the best department at Hopkins

      This is the best experience I've had with a provider in a VERY long time. I'm usually ignored, dismissed, or told I'm wrong about my symptoms. Dr. Boltansky listens, explains things very well, and includes patients in their healthcare plan.
