Dr. Bortan is great. Very thorough !

5 out of 5 stars

She's the best. Knowledgeable, skilled, and really cares about her patients. I had a really bad, chronic flareup of dystonia when I went in that was devastating for my QOL. I assume it was probably one of the worst cases of dystonia she's seen. When she saw my progress after the botox injections she administered, she gave me a hug and was so happy. Thats what you want in a doctor.
