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.

Very Frustrated
I initially went to Dr. Blotter for a problem with my ears. He did the whole exam and found a nasal polyp. He pretty much just chalked my ear issue up to TMJ. And then moved on to the polyp saying it needed to be removed. I took his expert advice and had it removed. I totally regret that! I have had multiple sinus infections and almost daily headaches ever since! Not to mention a $3000 hospital bill. Now I have to find a new doctor who will ACTUALLY help me with the ear problem that is just getting worse and DEFINITELY NOT TMJ.

I saw Dr Blotter in 2000 for sinus and fractured nasal turbinate. We decided on surgery that I had put off for years and results were great. If I needed surgery for similar reasons or knew anyone who did I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to them.

Excellent experience. Dr. Blotter actually took the time to listen and answer my questions and was very careful on a small procedure he did while I was there. Didn't try to push me through like so many others do. Very impressed.

Dr. Blotter was kind and considerate. He explained each step of the procedure in advance and made sure I was prepared. His manner was reassuring and I felt relaxed and confident that everything would go the way he had explained, and it did. I highly recommend Dr. Blotter.

Blotter is a skilled surgeon and excellent caregiver, in terms of listening, explaining procedures, and seeming comfortable and at ease during interaction. My son and I have both had tonsillectomy, adenoid, and sinus surgery under him. The results have been life-changing for both of us. Highly recommend.

Had to wait an hour after our appointment time. Waiting area is generic. Staff should let patients know if they are running late and how long the wait will be. Good experience after finally getting to the doctor.
