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.

Why did he enter this profession?
Doctor Blaskis refuses to respond to MyChart messages for ongoing care regarding bad medication side effects for medication he prescribed. Doctor Blaskis refuses to issue a referral to a specialist for a second opinion after multiple requests. Patient advocacy has tried to help, to no avail. Carillion says the doctor will respond to MyChart messages within 3 days. It's been over 3 weeks and no response from the doctor. After 2.5 weeks, patient advocacy finally got a nurse to call me and she was so rude it was embarrassing and insulting. It was obvious she hadn't read the MyChart messages as every question she asked me was addressed in MyChart. Saying he's unprofessional is an understatement. I realize that being a doctor is difficult, but caring for patients shouldn't be optional. My only choice is to find another practice not owned by Carillion. After 50 years of seeing doctors, this is the first and only doctor I would not recommend. Avoid Dr. Blaskis at all costs!!!

Good Doctor! I could tell you more. But there's that doctor-patient confidentiality agreement. Or something like that. Lol

Misdiagnosed, wouldn’t listen, wouldn’t refer
Dr Blaskis is arrogant, disrespectful, and overall useless to patients who want to get better. He not only misdiagnosed me, but he refused to refer me to a specialist. I suffered with my symptoms, untreated, for months because of this.

The best family doctor ever
Our entire family sees Dr Blaskis and has for years. We will never leave! He is the star of that practice and if it wasn’t for him we would have left a long time ago

My husband was seen for chronic joint pain, the doctor seemed willing to help him feel better. After bloodwork showed us nothing, he was referrred to a rheumatologist that can see him in 6 months!!! He called to let them know he can't wait that long because of his discomfort, he was told the doctor will be gone for two weeks and to call back at the end of those two weeks if he hasn't heard from them. The lack of compassion and care for their patients is very sad.

Very friendly staff a great family doctor. When looking for a family doctor we wanted to find an office staff that was friendly and supportive, as well as a doctor we could trust and see when needed. Over the past year or so we have been very pleased. The staff works with us very well and given the pressures of being a modern GP, I don?t think you could ask for more!

So Disappointedthat my daughter went to him. She was in a lot of pain and he gave her a dianossiof some rare diseasenot n know if it was that and she was alone . She had a severe PANIC ATTACKand him and his nurse left her alone in a room gave her a wet paper towel and told her don't fall n ?the floor .Turns out he was wrong and scared her to death for no reason. Think before you tell someone something really bad. You could have said I m really not sure let me do some test first.
