"As a pediatrician, I admit I was not looking forward to Dr. Bortz’s lectures. Boy was I wrong for thinking that way! I never realized what pediatrics and geriatrics have in common. His talks have changed how I will approach my patients and also I will make changes in my personal life. In addition, I can't wait to check out his books and the article on neuroanatomy. Thank you so much a life-changing opportunity. –Sarah Lester, MD"
