When I Saw Dr Bortniker I felt everything I said was insignificant . He wasnt listening to my complaints he did a MRI and said everything was fine regardless of my horrific symptoms and valid complaints . I felt belittled he wasnt talking to me but through me . Quiet abrupt and rude . His staff apparently with the same ideology and mannerisms as him . The Secretary yelled vital personal information across the waiting room . When I asked why she would do that she said Well you werent at the desk As though Im a mind reader and know when this imbecile is going to stand up and scream my medical information through a crowded waiting room . I see theres two Dr David Bortnikers Scroll down and theres a David L Bortniker much more accuracy of his unorthodox antics then on this list . These posts seem like staff posted favortism

I have given Dr. Bortniker multiple visits to redeem himself but he has a tendency to be on the rude side and I have never waited less than 30 minutes for any appointment (last appt was 1 hr and 15 minutes). I hired Dr. Bortniker on a recommendation and he performed a procedure for a deviated septum. I have felt worse in the 4 years since the surgery and have doubts if it was done correctly.

That is NOT one of the great places to visit!! Not whatsoever!!! I got billed 1400 bucks for single visit to both "partners", him and allergist in his practice. !!!! None of them did anything to help me with my problem. Now I am stuck with the bill.

Dr Bortniker has treated me twice in previous years first when I needed sinus surgery (not one sinus infection since that surgery 15 years ago), and the second time after I'd been treated for asthma for 10 years and then saw Dr Bortniker who re-diagnosed and solved the problem. Now working on a new problem ~ I have total confidence in his care and treatment in this new situation.

Excellent diagnostic ability, medical advice and understanding for what I was feeling. Will definitely recommend to anyone who needs this type of specialist.

Dr. Bortniker is excellent. He immediately diagnosed me and had me in the operating room within 2 weeks. My horrible sinus problems/sinus infections that have been on-going for over 20 years are gone.However, I find the staff to be somewhat unprofessional. Although appointments seem to be readily available, I waited anywhere from 30 minutes to 1 1/2 hours in the waiting room and/or in the patient room. I have seen the receptionists forget about patients in the waiting room (although they cross them off the list) until the patient finally says something, and they are not apologetic about forgetting patients and seem rude about it. They did do a good job with my insurance claims though.
