Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr. Blair is an amazing physician.
He was very professional and easy to understand. He has the ability to talk with you about your condition so that you completely understand and are confident with his diagnosis.

Dr. Benjamin Blair - Great Doctor
Dr. Blair has been treating me for a disc herniation in my lower back. He has done a great job and I have been pleased with his care. He is conservative when it comes to surgery, and sees that as the last option if other, less invasive methods have been tried and failed. I have not had to have surgery at this point, and hope to stay that way. His injections have really helped me to be able to deal with the pain and helped the inflammation decrease enough to strengthen the souroung support muscles through PT. - Nick M

Very personal and smart with myself and was willing to answer questions about his background and my own procedure (laminectomy). I was new to the area so I was concerned about this operation and he proved that he is a competent sucessful doctor and surgeon. The local physical therapists and surgical staff like his abilities and outlook. The surgical staff said he is very efficient. I would recommend him to a future patient.

Dr. Blair ran expensive tests to try to find the cause of my lower lumbar/sciatic nerve pain. He refused to do anything to treat my pain while making me wait on 2 1/2 months for very expensive diagnostic tests. When the diagnostics couldn't find the cause he just referred me to Dr. Zoe (pain specialist) who is the worst doctor I have ever had. She refuses to take my pain seriously because the diagnostics could not find the cause. Refer me to a bad doctor you are responsible for my poor care too.
