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.

×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Blum?
I was dealing with a situation with my knee for several months. Come to find out I had a degenerative, displaced medial meniscal tear, and fluid. Which was causing instability, pain, swelling. Others before him said it was muscle spasm. Dr. Blum , made it so to refer me to UConn, now on track and now doing rehab.
