Called with a concern with Blood pressure issue and the office got me in with Heather within 15 -20 minutes. She was very nice and started her evaluation. Very pleased!

Thoughtful and attentive
Was able to see me on a same day appointment. Very professional, great bedside manor and sense of humor. Listened and discussed my concerns then discussed the treatment plan with me completely.
As usual, I had plenty of time to explain my health issues. It was an important Tele Health call for me with satisfying results.
Feels like I’m visiting a friend that really cares how I feel, physically and emotionally. Love her to pieces! Signed one happy patient! Shirley Weinelt

Heather is a comforting professional and is easy to talk to especially in a sensitive subject. I appreciated her effort to relax me on a professional level. Thank you Heather!

Heather is an excellent PA. She listens to every word I said. She is calming and reassuring. Thank you for all of your help with my situation.
The best PA I have encountered. A no nonsense, straight to the point, and great listener. Heather , did not let me leave without being taking care of . Heather did what other PAs could not . Didn’t let me leave the same way I came in. Thank you Heather Bortz.
Heather was personable, knowledgeable, and caring. I would not hesitate having another appointment with her
Heather Bortz is a knowledgeable and empathetic, caring professional. She lets you talk, and she listens to what I'm trying to explain. When Heather communicates with me it's as though I am sharing with a valued friend. I am grateful to have Heather on my team when it comes to my health.
Heather is very good with listening and problem solving to help find a solution. She makes you a part of your healthcare plan by working with you and not dictating what she knows. She is not afraid to take extra steps when necessary. I love having her as my provider!!
Such a sweet, caring provider.
Heather made a great impression as someone who shows care, compassion, and the ability to listen to her patients. My session with her gave me the impression that I was in good hands with someone who showed confidence in their ability. It was an A+ appointment.----Brian Morrissey
She heard me.
She is very good. She was very professional
Heather is a very understanding and caring PA! So happy she’s part of Dr. Melish’s team!
Very helpful. Very understanding. Laughed at some of my jokes.
l really appreciated and enjoyed my visit with Heather. She was caring and understanding. This was my first visit with her, and she took the time I needed to understand Medicare, how getting a baseline today will help me move through the years, and how something with myself may change and come to her with those changes. She asked me straight in the eye if there was anything I could do, and I said, "Watch over me." I really appreciated that kindness. You don't see anymore. She is the real deal, and I look forward to many years of her being my doctor. If you had a 10-star rating, I would give her 10 gold stars! Neil
Heather is so great! So easy to talk to. She makes you feel comfortable and like you can say or ask anything with zero judgment.
Rebecca has been a wonderful healthcare provider. She has always been very sincere and made me feel comfortable. I was sad to find out that she will be leaving the practice.
My experience with Heather has been both pleasant and comforting while still holding her professional manner. She makes me confident that I can put my trust in her. Heather has helped me through all the medical problems I’ve had up to this point. She has a pleasant personality. If you are looking for a P.A. My advice, give her a shot, you won’t be sorry.
