Yahoo Local User Review:

“I was able to communicate directly with the physician upon calling and had an appointment the very same day.   He offers the best price for a comprehensive medical review and looks out for the college student with limited funds.   Great interpersonal skills, very easy to talk to, Dr. Bolte really makes you feel comfortable divulging your medical history.   This was not only due to his demeanor, but one can tell that confidentiality is a priority in his office.   I would highly recommend this physician above all others.”

Patient-review from Do-It-Yourself Healthcare:

"I'm a 22 year old freelancer.   My savior was Dr. Bolte, who I found while googling Urgent Care after coming down with an awful kidney infection without insurance.   He saw me Thanksgiving weekend, prescribed the right antibiotics, and gave an amazing pep talk about everything a person should know about navigating the city without insurance.   I have recurrent UTIs, and on Thanksgiving night I found myself in bed with a 104 fever and bloated kidneys.   Dr. Bolte is a saint."   - J, New York.
