I just opened a missed letter from my mother's mail from December and found out about Dr. Bortman. My Mother and I are so sad to hear about his passing. He was a hero to us and saved my mothers life about 10 years ago when she had an aneurism at age 73 that was about to burst on her Aorta. He was working as a surgeon in Boston at the time, and afterwards she has been in his care ever since. He was a very smart, kind and gentle man. Someone that you take an instant liking to and who we always look forward to seeing again.
Scott's family, friends, coworkers and staff are in our thoughts and prayers and we will always be very grateful for what he has done for us.
So Sorry,
Rachel and James Murphy

Dr. Bortman spent over an hour with my husband over face-time helping him figure out his heart condition this past October.

He made quite an impression on both of us and we were saddened to hear of this news.

We wanted this amazing Doctors family to know he was helping change lives for the better even during a pandemic and despite not being well himself.

So very sorry to his family for this tragic loss.

I was honored to work with Dr Bortman in the nuclear med. stress test area. He was always a joy as he enjoyed his job, and loved to teach. He truly loved people, and served them each day, even when his arthritis was limiting his abilities. He will certainly be missed.

So saddened to get the news,dr.Bortman was kind and compassionate, and far too young to be taken from us,I'm so sorry for the family. Thank you for sharing him wit us.

So So sorry to hear of your loss. He was a great man. I was a patient of his since 2001

Dr. Bortman literally saved my life. He's been my cardiologist for YEARS and he was also my favorite doctor, he truly was. I told everyone that and I am absolutely devastated and in shock. Rest in peace, Dr. Bortman. Oh, how I will miss you. What a great loss this is. Sending all of my love and prayers to his family and loved ones, may God bring you all comfort.

Long before I became a patient of Scott's, I provided services to Scott and his patients alike. We would have conversations that went beyond patient care. I enjoyed the time spent together when he himself would come into my place of business. When my own health was failing and I needed to find a Cardiologist for my own care, I did not have to look hard nor far, the choice was easy. I recieved top notch care and compassion, for which I am forever grateful. I will miss Scott, my Cardiologist and better than that my friend. May he rest in peace.

Dr. Bortman was my cardiac physician. He was personable and made me at ease every time I visited him. He had a great sense of humor. He always asked me about my granddaughter Jenna who attended Dana Hall with his daughter. That is the kind of person he was. Dr. Bortman placed three stents in my heart more than 15 years ago, with no further issues. I will miss the Man as well as the doctor. He was the best! I send my deepest condolences to his family.

Dr BORTMAN was a great man who cared for me and my wife -went through us like a fine tooth comb -I will always be greatful to him for saving my life when others fail to find the issues that I had with my heart which with out him I would have lost my life - We will for ever be greatful to have such a great dr who we will miss greatfully - for eve in our hearts RIP dr BORTMAN - and thank you for saving my life -love from Blake and Carol Bean

I received a letter today from Steward Medical Group telling me about Dr. Bortman’s passing. I was so very saddened to learn this. I have been a patient of Dr. Bortman’s since he started to practice. I followed him from 110 Liberty Street to Roche Brothers Way. He was so compassionate, caring, and kind, as well as being an excellent doctor.He will be greatly missed.

Dr. Bortman was my first and only cardiologist I ever had. I only knew him for a short time but he made it seem like he knew me forever. He would always asked who is the blond that brings me to his office. Eternal peace to you.

I just learned of Dr. Bortman's passing today. He was my cardiologist for 15 years and was a joy to know. We met when he was doing my angiogram in Boston. I was supposed to stay over night, but when I told him I was in a school play for elementary students the next day, he got me an ambulance for the trip home, and I made it to the play. He was such a warm and caring person. Tragic he was taken so soon. I will miss him greatly.

I just learned of Doctor Bortmans passing. My deepest condolences to his family and friends and all touched by his passing as I am.
He was my cardiologist for the last seven years.
He was a great Doctor who I had complete faith in but beyond that he was a kind and considerate person who seemed called to be a Doctor.
I will miss having him as my Doctor.
May he rest in peace.

I am very saddened to find out about Dr Bortman passing I only found out today after I stopped from the lab to check on my next appointment with him , l loved Dr Bortman he used to keep telling me how his mom's name was Joan and he would call me Joanie and I would call him Scotty

Omg. RIP Scott.
I remember that September day back in kindergarten when you asked me if I was going to "cry again" after my mother dropped me off. Guess what, from that day on, I stopped the tears. Thank for that Scott.

Sending prayers and condolences to the whole family. I am so saddened to hear this news.

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief. Scott was an incredible human being and will be missed. My heart goes out to his family, friends, co-workers and patients.

Scott Bortman was one of our favorite people in the Tufts Football family. We met him when his son Jeff played Jumbo football with our son Tom. Always full of fun and shenanigans, Scott was so friendly, engaging and had a superb sense of humor. He worked very hard (but on the DL) to raise funds to build a terrific "Brothers Room" at the football frat, complete with a huge TV, theater seating and pool table, which the boys absolutely loved. One of my fondest memories of Scott (and Kristen) was their very cool (and quite potent) Jumbo Juice dispenser. It was a work of art and they always had plenty for everyone at the tailgates. Our first experience with Scott's Jumbo Juice was after the 42-24 win vs Bates and there was no looking back! Love to all in the Bortman crew.

I just stopped to have my labs done for an appointment with Dr. Bortman for next wk. I was shocked to learn of his passing. He was a wonderful, caring, compassionate doctor who I completely trusted the advice of. How he will be missed by all his patients!

A sad day for the medical community , he was a great man will be sadly missed .

We’re very sadden of Dr. Bortman’s passing. I brought my mom in to see him one day. My 2 young daughters came with us. At the end of the appointment he surprised my girls with 2 bubble wands!! My girls were over the moon!! Such a professional and personable soul!!! My condolences to his family. May he Rest In Peace.

May Dr.Bortman be free of pain now. He was my cardiologist for eleven years.His enthusiasm for his work made me feel confident with him.Having an avr and double bypass, he encouraged me down the long road.His spirit will be with me always.

Gutted to hear of Scott's passing. My condolences to Jeffrey, Rachel, Kristen, and Elaine. He was a gifted doctor, a great colleague and friend, and a lively spark in this overcast world of ours. Rest in power, brother.

A GREAT DOCTOR WHO EVEN THOUGH IT WAS A DOCTOR PATIENT RELATIONSHIP ALWAYS ASKED AND KNEW DETAILS ABOUT MY LIFE THAT MADE ME FEEL I WAS TALKING TO AN OLD FRIEND. VERY SADDENED BY HIS DEATH. RARE COMBINATION OF COMPETENCE AND COMPASSION

I was in absolute shock when I heard this morning about Dr. Bortman’s passing. I was due to see him in just three weeks. He was the most genuine and caring Doctor that I have ever had (and I have had many). Always felt so at ease with him and in every case where he felt that I needed some kind new procedure I was always calm and confident in his care. I just know that somehow he will be looking out for me as he always has. Rest in Piece

I am sorry about the passing of Scott. Please know my deepest condolences are being sent to you and your family.

My whole family is saddened by the loss of Dr.Bortman. He took care of my father my mother, me and my sister hes just so awesome and he will be so missed.
I'll never forget the last time I talked with him in the office. We talked about music and how his friend was the "fill in" drummer for Don Henley of the Eagles This blew me away.!!...I just loved him and he will be greatly missed.My deepest condolences to all his family.

Such a loss to our Good Samaritan family. Dr. Bortman always had a smile and hello. he was such a kind talented cardiologist ,a great man may he RIP.

Scott was my cardiologist, fraternity brother, fellow Jumbo (Tufts University), football player and friend. He was considerably younger than I. When I first met Scott I needed his expertise as an interventional cardiologist. From that point on Scott was my sounding board for medical advice and help. I enjoyed talking with him and appreciated his wise counsel. Both Joan and I will miss him. His caring personality, sense of humor and the twinkle in his eye made him extra special. RIP Scott.

A sweet and genuine person i had the pleasure of knowing my condolences go out to the family a genuine doctor he always was

He was the best doctor i ever had i will miss him he was a regular guy

We are so saddened to hear of Dr BORTMAN’s passing . We had been patients for all of his career and he was so caring

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.

Rest In Peace Dr Scott Bortman , you will be miss, my family’s are heartbroken when we heard the news, you always make my mom so comfortable, how do we move on without you, we love ❤ so much Dr Bortman

My condolences to Scott's family. I will always remember his smile, it could light up a room. I always had confidence in his professional care when I sent my patients to him. I was never disappointed. I am saddened by his death.

What a loss to the medical community. Dr. Bortman took great care of our Dad and truly understood how to communicate with family members. We are forever grateful. Rest In Peace. Condolences from the Block and Bronstein families.

May the road rise up to meet you. May the wind be always at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face; the rains fall soft upon your fields and until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of His hand. (In my bad irish brough). Shall miss you my friend!!

My sincerest condolences to his family. I worked with Scott at St.Elizabeth's. He was smart and genuinely interested in learning, listening & respecting both patients & staff. We enjoyed work-time, chatting about life & fun times as well. He was so gifted at putting patients at ease & also lightening the mood of a stressful time at work. He enjoyed his work & it showed.
It was a pleasure working, learning & laughing through many years of his time at the hospital.

Scott was a great friend to my family. He took care of my husband and was the most capable and compassionate Dr. I am heartbroken by this terrible loss. Scott was so special ......May he rest in peace......

I am so sad about Scott's passing. He took care of my husband and was the most capable and compassionate Dr that i have ever met.
May he rest in peace

Scott was my cardiologist and PCP for over 24 years, since his name was added in magic marker to the office door and, of course. I appreciated his medical expertise and advice. But more than that, he was my friend. I never felt like "the 2:15 on Friday afternoon". When he walked into the examining room, he made me feel like he had been waiting all day just to see me. He always took time to listen, explain, ask and answer questions. We talked about our families (he was so proud of Jeffrey and Rachel), Boston sports teams, my work, and later my volunteer activities. He cared about me as a person. When I was leaving, he would give me a copy of my blood work, with a sticker on it if it was good. Evidence of our shared sense of humor, I guess! He always sent me on my way with a big bear hug. Words can't say how much I will miss him. ((virtual hug, Scott)). RIP.

I had the pleasure of having a business relationship with Scott. We also had Tufts and Delta Upsilon in common. He was a vivacious,talented and fine person. His life was cut too short
My condolences to the entire family.

So so sad to hear of Scott’s passing... we grew up together at St Es many years ago ..
Scott’s sense of humor and being so down to earth was such a comfort to his patients and his colleagues in many a stressful situation...
Scott will be sorely missed ...
Scotts sense of humor and zest for life is an inspiration to us all ...
RIP my dear friend...

SCOTT WAS NOT ONLY MY DOCTOR BUT A FRIEND. I HAVE KNOWN HIM FOR AT LEAST 25 PLUS YEARS AND WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER THE FIRST TIME MY HUSBAND AND I MET HIM. I WILL MISS YOU MY FRIEND MAY YOU REST IN PEACE.

A gentle soul, a wonderful Doctor, a great friend, a true joy in my life. God bless him and all his family and friends.

I first worked with Scott at St. E's during his residency and cardiology fellowship. We later worked together at BI. He was a fabulous, caring clinician and we always had a laugh even in tough situations. I will never forget that when a Boston team won a championship he would go to Dick's at midnight and buy tons of hats and t shirts and give them out to everyone the next day. He was full of and larger than life and will be missed. Love to his family.

Joni and Charna and family,
We are deeply saddened to hear of Scott’s passing. He sounds like a wonderful human being whom you should be so proud of. His incredible short life should be an example to us all of a life well lived. May his memory be for a blessing.
With love,
Elaine & Calvin Price

I had the opportunity to teach some classes with Scott to the Boston Medical Community,, I always learned something new from him.
Shocked to learn of his passing. He will be missed.

DEAR JEFFREY RACHEL AND ELAINE,
MY CONDOLENCES TO ALL OF YOU. I WAS SO SORRY TO HEAR ABOUT SCOTT'S DEATH. JEFFREY AND RACHEL, I REMEMBER HOW PROUD YOUR FATHER WAS AT YOUR BAR AND BAT MITZVAHS. I OFTEN THINK OF SOME OF MY FAVORITE KIDS. RACHEL I REMEMBER HOW YOU LOVED SHOPPING AT NORDSTROMS, AND JEFFREY HOW SMART YOU WERE. I KNOW SCOTT'S MEMORY WILL BE A BLESSING. B'SHALOM BEVERLY SINGER

I saw the obituary this morning in the Boston Globe. Scott and his sister Charna used to be on the bus route with my brother Sandor and I. I have fond memories of Scott. He made a difference in his patient's lives and has now left us suddenly but will not be forgotten. Sending condolences to Charna and the Bortman family. May He Rest In Peace.

I was there the day Scottie saved a woman’s life in the parking lot before a Patriots game. He saved her and kept her alive until the ambulance arrived. Scott was an amazing human who was loved by all who met him. In loving memory of a wonderful person. We will love you and miss you always.

Joan and family. I am shocked to learn of Scott's passing. Our thoughts are with you during the very difficult time. We wish the entire Bortman family peace. May his memory be a blessing

Jon and Deb

I am very sorry for your loss. Scott meant a lot to my family. He was my father’s doctor (as well as mine). What he did for my father was nothing short of a miracle (not to mention the care and time he gave my mother during all my father’s cardiac issues). He will be celebrated as one of the best as he was Melach Haaretz , the salt of the earth. Prayers to you and your entire family.

My deepest sympathies on the passing of Dr. Bortman.

To Scotts family. I am so sorry to hear of Scott’s passing. I am a patient of his for the last 14 years. He has taken great care of me. I mostly enjoyed our talks of football ( I’m a cowboys fan ) and we had some great talks and laughs , he did try to get me to be a pats fan hahaha but that’ll never happen !! Anyways. You all have my deepest condolences to a great man , I will miss him . God bless

Jeff, Rachel, Kristen and Elaine, I am so sorry for your loss. Dr. Bortman was a wonderful guy and amazing doctor. I remember hearing from my dad how much he enjoyed working with him. Dr. Bortman helped save my life in 2011 and again this past December. My family and I will miss him dearly.

I watched Scott grown up. He was my neighbor in Bloomfield. He was so kind and friendly. I can’t believe he is gone. It was a pleasure to be in his company. He will be missed a lot. My thoughts and prayers are with the family. Rest In Peace.

Dr. Bortman was my cardiologist and primary care physician and friend for many years. I feel that he truly cared about me and would always tell me if I needed anything to call the office and he meant it. He has saved my life and I will miss him greatly.

He was the best cardiologist I’ve ever encountered. He saved my moms life and i still can’t thank him enough. He will be missed a lot!

Best cardiologist anyone could hope for. Always a delight to chat with him. Please accept my sincere condolences.

Dr. Bortman was a great doctor and a great person ! He was loved by all
Fantastic cardiologist ! Nothing but good remarks about him from his patients ! You will be very sadly missed !. Mimi

I will miss you Scotty! You were a wonderful friend !

Dr Scott Bortman, I am so heartbroken to hear of your Passing. I have been your patient for many years and always felt like I was in good hands. Not only were you a great Doctor, you treated patients like family and never felt like just a number. You gave your time. I know both my Dad who was one of Dr. Bortmans patients but my mom also feels the same way I do. I have felt for quite sometime I had one great Physician who took care of his patients. He would of done all he was capable of doing. He will be so missed by so many. We now have Scott as an Angel above looking over all of us. Will never forget Scott. He was a real caring person. I want to send my condolences to his entire family and his significant other. RIP!!!

Jeff, Rachel, Kristen and Elaine, my deepest sympathy to all of you. Scott was not only my doctor, but a good friend. He nicknamed me Marcia Lacey, long story. Throughout adult life, he gave me so much support. He always made me laugh in my saddest of days. Scott you will never, ever be forgotten. I don't know of anyone who can fill your shoes. Rest in Peace my dear friend. God need some laughter, so he brought you home.

I have known Dr Bortman for many years. He truly became part of my Family. March 2019 he saved my husbands life-after he diagnosed an almost life ending heart problem. He was a wonderful Dr and incredible man. Compassionate,caring,straight talker,understanding,and warrior in his challenges with RA. I will miss him terribly, as will my Family. I wish Peace for his dear Family at this difficult time. And hope one day he will be thought of and you can smile,and hopefully laugh at all your memories of him. RIP Scott

I was a patient of Dr Bortman since he began his practice in Easton. I always found him to be compassionate and caring. He would always take the time to explain his medical thoughts and listen intently to my concerns. An appointment was more like visiting an old friend rather than just going to a doctor. He will be sadly missed by all and my deepest sympathies to all his family and friends

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.

I have a lot of fond memories of Scott during his internship/residency & cardiology fellowship at SEND. His quick Witt & humor, smile & genuine care of his patients made him one to never forget. Ex- colleague & friend Jane RN Seton 6 West.

Scott was a great doctor but he was a better person . A true gentleman. He will be missed by everyone.
