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.

Excellent doctor!
Dr. Blaess explains issues thoroughly and in 'layman's terms'. Never seems in a hurry and takes the time to listen thoroughly to my concerns.

I've been a patient of Dr. Blaess for 17 years and am happy to say that he's do an excellent job. I've had several issues that required immediate treatment and he diagnosed correctly each time prior to being treated. With respect to bedside manner, he is a wonderful guy to set and talk with. I've always enjoyed my visits with him, even when I received tough news.

I would recommend Dr Blaess to anyone! He is truly a great doctor who cares about his patients and takes all the time you need. His diabetic knowledge and care is second to none. I never write reviews but Dr Blaess is truly worth recommending. If you can get in to see him, you will see for yourself.
