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.

Caring
Dr Bloom explains things at your level. He is patient. Personable. Goes over options thoroughly. Takes his time at your visit.

People always said that the knee replacement is the worst. well, Dr. Bloom replaced both my knees completely and I feel wonderful. I am 3 and 6 months out from having both knees done and I'm feeling great

Dr. Bloom is incredibly professional.
I am seeing Dr. Bloom for a rotator cuff pain and probably will have surgery. He’s very caring and really listens to what is going on. I like when He always hands me a Kleenex when I start crying because I’m in pain. The goal is pain management for me and the surgery. I have recommended him to a few of my friends! I would reach him as one of the best bedside manners I’ve ever seen and had. A new fan, Stephanie Pious.

Torn Rotator Cuff
Three months out from shoulder surgery. Recovery going very well. Dr. Bloom performed a rather complicated rotator cuff repair and I’m sure I’m on my way to complete recovery. Dr. Bloom has been a joy to work with. Pleasant, knowledgeable, and skilled with the tools of his trade. Couldn’t be happier. Also I’ve been impressed with the entire staff at Middlesex Orthopedics and Spine. Efficient, courteous and professional. From the front desk to the surgery center. I highly recommend this outfit.

Smooth surgery
Dr. Bloom performed my ACL and medial meniscus repairs and I could not be happier with the surgery, his bedside manner and the recovery. I would go to Dr. Bloom again if another orthopedic surgery is needed.

Distal Bicep Rupture
Dr. Bloom is an amazing surgeon with a great team of medical professionals. He addressed all of my concern and discussed my goals beyond the surgery. The surgery was very successful and Dr. Bloom and his team made sure I had all the appropriate equipment for my recovery. That was probably the most important aspect of the care because I’m in recovery from drugs and alcohol. I have not even had to fill the narcotics prescription. Furthermore I hear from his office on a regular basis and if I have any immediate question I never wait long for a response. Thank you Dr. Bloom and team!

Doc knows sports – Oct 29, 2024
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Bloom?
This is my letter to Dr. Bloom. Good morning Dr. Bloom, I think that feedback is very important, and it helps to improve things. It’s not a complaint, just my observations. It may help you and it definitely helps me to improve my communication skills. I was thinking of why our interaction didn’t meet my expectations and why I canceled the surgery. Often people talk, but don’t hear each other. Including myself, as well. I believe that I said multiple times, that I don’t have pain in my knee, but at my last visit you said, that my knee pain would go away after the surgery. You didn’t hear me, or I didn’t express myself clear enough. I came to you with a complaint of clicking in my knee. I expected you to examine my knee manually first, by bending, moving, twisting, to find when, how and where it’s clicking. You did an X-ray and MRI and I felt, like you were relying on test results only, not on physical examination. At my first visit you bent my knee once. At my last visit, when you had MRI results, you bent my knee a couple of times, heard a loud “click”, but didn’t do any further examination. Another thought – I felt that you were focused on the knee only, without looking at a full picture. What I mean – my posture and how I walk. I have flat feet and it affects how my knee is moving. The weight is not going straight through my legs but creates a twisting force in my knee. The shoe insert may be able to help to correct my posture and improve my knee function. We didn’t talk about it at all. I hope my feedback would be helpful to you. Thank you, Igor

Care-filled care
Dr. Bloom performed an ACL repair. I felt safe, supported, and informed throughout the process both before, during, and in the weeks following the surgery. His staff was warm and compassionate and understood my anxiety leading up to the surgery and they were wonderful as I came out of it. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Dr. Bloom to anyone.

Frozen shoulder
All was good. Timely. Personable. PT very good. Thanks. However I often wonder what the thinking is around parking. Without a handicapped parking placard, I think it very hard to get in out of your building. Why is there no sidewalk in the front of the building?? And downstairs at PT as well??? And for those able why is there no bicycle parking to be found??
