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.

Extremely difficult to reach office to make an appointment. Called 5 times over the course of 2 days and either could not get through or was placed on hold immediately without staff making sure I was ok to hold. Moved on to another provider!

This guy is good. His surgery skills are top notch. And, in this day and age, where patients are treated as numbers, Dr. de Boisblanc is personable, explains the procedure and answers your questions. After my surgery, he called me over the weekend to check on me. Highly recommend.

Felt he was rushed and too sure of himself. Didn’t listen to my questions. Would never see him again!

In November of 2016 my husband was run over twice by an SUV which broke all of his ribs in multiple places. Dr. Deboisblanc was not going to do anything to fix his ribs and was just going to let him die. He was only 69. Fortunately as soon as I found that out I was able to fine a wonderful Thoracic surgeon who repaired all of his ribs and a pulmonary doctor who dealt with all of his lung issues. Yes, he was in the hospital for weeks, and then in a rehab unit for a couple of weeks, but he fully recovered and was able to continue with his 2-3 mile walks daily if he wanted to. He was even able to jump on a trampoline less than a year later with the great-grandkids. Too bad that when you have gray hair and are in your 60s you are not important enough to consult with other doctors to find a solution to the problems. He was not nice when I asked for a referral for a second opinion and told me: "I only needed one correct opinion." Once I got the referral, he never checked on him.

Dr de Boisblanc amputated my mother’s leg in 2013, (she was 93 yrs old) and he did an amazing job! Mom was out of the hospital in 3 days and at our house for Christmas a week later! He is an excellent surgeon and compassionate doctor. I wish he was here in the desert!! We need good surgeons like him here!!

Dr. De Blois Blanc is a true credit to his profession. His mannerism and skill is unmatched. I was totally at ease under his care from the moment I met him to being discharged and recoring much faster and easier than a friend that had the exact same procedure from a different hospital and doctor. Thank you !
