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 Blankenship listens to you. He is awesome.

After suffering a heart attack and receiving two stents from a resident cardiologist at Jackson General, within 3 mos I was having symptoms again. Since my insurance fortunately stopped providing coverage for that Dr, I found Dr B. I have no doubt I am alive today due to the care I have received from him. Within one week of my first visit, Dr B used every examination means available to determine my arterial health and I was back in the Cath Lab where two other restrictions were corrected. Already feeling 100% better, at my follow up visit, Dr B shared with me the results of the very extensive bloodwork already performed. Along with very detailed explanations of the benefits of changing some of my meds, my B-12 and E vitamin and testosterone levels were low, and supplement regimens were started for each of them. Thanks to Dr Blankinship I now feel 30 yrs younger, 25 lbs lighter and have a new lease on life. If you are searching for a cardiologist, I highly recommend him

Dr B is an excellent doctor and I would recommend him to anyone who is in need of a heart doctor. He always takes time to explain things to me and isn't in a rush to get out the door. He does his best to keep me healthy. His staff is wonderful and is always concerned with how I am. Dr B is a one of a kind!
