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.

I like that Dr. Blanchard listened to me.
Dr. Blanchard did not try to over talk me like some doctors do. He listened & then advised what my next steps should be, but he suggested , he didn’t say you have to do this that or the other. I have recommended him to countless friends.

Spinal Stenosis
Dr. Blanchard is super friendly and “real”. He listens to whats going on and then comes up with a plan which in my case was surgical removal of a cyst and bone spurs. One month in to it and I am already feeling much better. I would highly recommend him.

Best spine orthopedist
Dr. Blanchard is currently treating complications with my scoliosis. I have seen him several times and I like the conservative approach he takes with spinal conditions. He respects his patients and listens carefully.

Trust Dr. Blanchard
Dr. Blanchard did my spinal fusion in November 2023. He did a fantastic job and has taken good care of me since then. I saw him this week for a final checkup and for new issues I am having and he took the time to listen to me and give me options on moving forward. He and his staff have done me so much good in the past year. He listens and reassures and makes sure you have the best healing possible. I would recommend him to anyone with neck and spine issues.

Severe low back, hip and leg pain. I
Very impressed with Dr. Blanchard’s knowledge. He explained in detailed information about the arthritis in my spine and further detailed my treatment choices and which ones would not be beneficial to me. He honored my choice and agreed it was the best option taking into account my age and physical condition. His support staff is very knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. I definitely recommend him.

Cervical fusion
Dr. Blanchard fused 3 vertebrae in my neck to relieve numbness down the entirety of my left arm. He and his staff did an excellent job with the procedure and follow up. He properly set my expectations for the procedure and the recovery. I would highly recommend Dr. Blanchard.

Dr. Blanchard solved my problem
I had lower leg pain caused by lower back issue. Dr. Blanchard diagnosed the problem and prescribed appropriate medication and exercises. My pain went away quickly. This visit was a follow up to see how I was doing. Although I had to wait a little while on the day after a Holliday he took as much time as I needed. Very pleased with his work.

Very Pleased
I have been seeing Dr. Blanchard for 3 years now. He is a very caring, professional Doctor. Always went over all my options for my back problems. I had a fusion on March 14th. So very pleased with the results. No pain now! I have already recommended him to several people. Everyone from the check in, nursing staff, fitting for the brace, X-rays & Dr. Blanchard are top notch & make u feel special.

Initial Consult with Dr. Blanchard
This was my initial visit to discuss several problems I am having. I was referred to Dr. Blanchard by the doctor that performed the surgery on my shoulder. I was very impressed with the thoroughness of his assistant and her attention to detail when recording my information. I did bring images for Dr. Blanchard to review. Prior to meeting him I had X-rays done on the areas of concern to me. Dr. Blanchard explained what his opinions were and the different approaches that I could consider. Dr. Blanchard is going to request the results of some additional tests I had done. He is going to call me after he reviews these and we will determine if more tests are needed and a plan going forward.
