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.

Really enjoy this doctor’s practice.

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Blake?
Dr. Blake is one of the worst ER doctors I’ve ever been treated by, and if you go to the ER in pain you’re very likely to leave with the same pain or worse. When I was diagnosed with multiple kidney stones, he refused to give me medication for pain, nausea, or to help pass the stone. He claimed that in his private practice he never prescribed pain medication for anyone and rarely does in the ER.
