Bortz John G MD

After several years of visiting with a number of doctors to address a problem I had with constant tearing from my eyes, Dr. Bortz was the first doctor to correctly diagnose and offer me a solution to this problem. He is consultative with his patients, puts their health and well-being first, treats his patients with compassion, and he’s a skilled surgeon. I finally have relief for an issue with which I suffered for 10 years. Thank you, Dr. Bortz for your wonderful care. You made a huge difference in the quality of my life. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Dr. Bortz and his staff are kind, professional and attentive. A kind and welcoming practice which clearly has a lot of patients, due to the high value of care provided. After a scare of a possible infection, Dr. Bortz examined me and expedited my care.

I had an issue with my left eye due to serious trauma, in a life threatening accident. I have retinal scaring, and required plastic reconstruction of my orbital floor and rim. Dr. Bortz is the only ophthalmologist I trust with my care.

I would recommend anyone to his practice.

Last September my husband was diagnosed with an inward turning lower lid (entropian) of his left eye. His Surgeon scheduled him for corrective surgery. Shortly after the surgery, his condition reappeared causing considerable irritation and swelling. By January both of his eyes were turned inward. Corrective surgery was performed again, without successful results. The surgeon promised to consult with his peers and get back to my husband, which he never did. It took 2 months to get an appointment with another eye surgeon, who declined to operate since the surgery had been performed twice without success. This left my husband in considerable discomfort and pain, disrupting normal vision.
Determined to find a solution, my husband called every caregiver we knew to find a champion. Dr. Bortz' name was given to us by by a retinal specialist that we know and respect. My husband saw Dr. Bortz in his office within a few days for a complete history and thorough examination of both eyes. Dr. Bortz also asked for copies of my husband's prior surgical records concerning the entropian surgeries that had been performed. Dr. Bortz agreed to operate again on my husband's eyes, with full disclosure that he would probably have to undo the surgical work done prior, and see what he could do to correct this, with no guarantees. He was so bright, caring, and genuinely interested that my husband readily agreed.
After repairing his left eye, Dr. Bortz and my husband were so satisfied and happy with the results, Dr. Bortz went on to do my husband's right eye as well.
Dr. Bortz is more than a great surgeon. He is a teacher of excellence instead of volume or speed of outcome. He is a true champion, he has a great sense of humor, and inspires your trust deservedly. My husband is contributing this review with the hope that you learn of Dr. Bortz without going through the disappointment and long discomfort he experienced. He's the best!!
