We have been going to Dr. Bolton for a while now and we have had no problems. He listens to my concerns and I feel like I can trust him.

I will definitely remember this doctor's name as the one to NOT schedule my daughter with. I agree with the parent that commented he is arrogant and condescending. That is a very accurate description. I have been going to Lutheran General Hospital for about 2 years now with 4 kids and this is the first Negative experience I have had.

We love Dr Bolton for our son and daughter, he is always very personable and takes an honest interest in asking the kids about their sports, etc. The kids like him because he can be silly with them. He's great and we recommend him highly!

Dr Bolton is a useless doctor...he does not provide any treatment for any medical condition.i went to his clinic when my son had 103 F fever and was not taking anything orally and the doctor refued any treatment..we felt we are handicapped...he is a waste doctor.

I found Dr. Bolton to be condescending and arrogant to me. He treated my concerns about my son's developmental delays as my being a neurotic mother and told me that I was "looking for problems". My son was diagnosed with autism six months later after I changed pediatricians.

Dr.Paul Bolton is a great Doctor who takes time in examining the patients very carefully. He is friendly and very polite in answering our questions. We are very comfortable with him and would 100% recommend to our other family and friends.
