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.

What a complete waste of time and a copay. My husband and I waited over an hour for the doctor to have a long-winded rant about how my husband is a big guy and how his size is going to have wear and tear on his body rather than stick to the actual issue that we came in for which were his shoulder and elbow. The man knows his nothing about my husband's medical history to be able to make any sort of actual educated commentary. Not to mention that a person's size has nothing to do with their elbow or their shoulder. The office was pleasant and the staff was courteous but don't waste your time with this joker.

Dr Blum has been our family orthopedist for years now. He’s been present consistently with every visit not caring how long your visit lasts just making sure that all your questions are answered! I’m a Cert.Surgical Tech and I’ve worked with the good the bad and the very bad Dr Blum is by far the Best of the Best! Fanstastic Fantastic Dr.

I saw Dr Blum for the first time today and I was impressed with his professionalism, friendliness, and knowledge of my knee problem. Having seen many orthopedics for chronic knee pain, it is Dr. Blum who alleviated my chronic pain, painlessly, with gel injections of Synvisc-One in both of my knees. In addition, he removed fluid from my knees and for the first time in a year I found relieve. He answered all my questions and assured me he would be available to help in the future if needed.
