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 very competent in his profession. I would recommend his to anyone.

Fantastic!
Dr. Blatter is the best! Our 16yr old son was diagnosed with testicular cancer in the ER and Dr. Blatter moved his schedule to see us the same day and had him in surgery the next day. He explained everything very well and made us and our son feel at ease and confident he would be fine. We appreciate Dr. Blatters quick response and willingness to take care of our son! We feel blessed to have him taking care of our son through the rest of this sickness. He is very knowledgeable, quick, and kind which is rare in the medical community.

I visited Dr Blatter for a 2 year checkup. Checking in was quick and there was a short wait until a nurse took me back for a test. A machine was used that holds on to your male part through suction. It measures your flow rate and the pee. After that I waited for Richard. The text said I worked well. He asked several questions and he said I’m fine. He was very nice and answered my questions. He also stated he didn’t want to see me again unless I needed help. It was a great appointment.

Wonderful, caring doctor.
Dr. Blatter really took the time to listen and carefully advise. It is evident that he really cares about his patients and wants to help them. He was also very considerate to mention costs of different treatment options. A very good man and knowledgeable doctor.

GREAT SERVICE!
My husband needed emergency kidney stone removal due to only having one kidney. Dr Blatter was at the hospital and had him up in surgery within an hour. Great bedside manner and is very kind, caring and informative. Thank you Dr Blatter
