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.

He is fab!
Nice person. Great MD.

Dr. B. has been my husband's oncologist for over 5 years. He has been forthright, diligent, compassionate and communicative the entire time. He said he could extend our good years together and since my husband is stage 4, he never made promises he couldn't keep. When he took directorship of the Cancer Center we followed him, rather than see another doctor. His whole team is wonderful.

Brilliant and kind. A consummate professional. He’s been treating me for almost a year and his plan of attack for my stage 4 rectal cancer is working out beautifully. Cannot recommend highly enough.

My husband came to Dr. Blazskowsky, in 2009, with stage 4 colon cancer. From the minute we met him, we knew not only how smart he was, but how kind. Although my love passed June, 2015, Dr. B gave him 6 wonderful years, with his incredible and compassionate care. My husband adored him, as did I. He constantly gave us hope when we thought there was none. He did every single thing he could. I know this for a fact. I am so grateful for Dr. B, and all that he did for us. Thank you Dr. B!
