Reviews
I saw Dr. Blanco for a follow up on some tests. He was very thorough, patient and educational about the subject, which was very reassuring. He is also my physician for colonoscopies & endoscopies and works with a very professional and efficient staff. Most people I know in the area go to him and all have great things to say.
He listens to you, and explains properly everything me and my husband love him
Caring, attentive, and thorough. Easy to talk to. Makes you feel comfortable.
Super friendly and compassionate staff, good listening doctor, and an over all environment that puts you at ease because you know you’re being heard and taken care of. Worth the 30 minute drive!
Dr. Blanco and his team provide exceptional service. Each time I have consulted them, they have been meticulous and ensured that I received all the necessary information. Initially, I believed a colonoscopy was required; however, after an extensive discussion, we opted for a stool test, which returned normal results. Dr. Blanco dedicated 25 minutes to my appointment, a duration that could have been significantly shorter. I highly recommend their services.
So comforting that Dr. Blanco sit, talk and sincerely listen to all my concerns without looking at a computer. I was impressed that He knew my situation before walking in the room.
Dr. Blanco was thorough in his examination. He’s patient in his approach and made me comfortable. He listen attentively to my concerns and I’ll be very happy to recommend him to my friends and family .
My experience at Dr. Blanco was pleasant and very efficient. Dr. Emil was friendly and he listened. The whole process at the reception desk was quick. I appreciate the whole experience

A very pleasant experience with this Doctor a great bedside made me feel very comfortable As a new patient
Always a good experience with dr Blanco and the staff. Very courteous and professional and the doctor is always very thorough in his explanation of my care and treatment
Dr Blanco does an excellent job of explaining procedures, which turn out to be no big deal when he conducts them. If you have to get your tubes checked, this is the place to go.
Great team of professionals!

Such a nice and pleasant Dr. Glad he's my GI!!
Turned 45 and it’s time to get my first colonoscopy. Dr. Blanco was recommended by one of his staff member. I met with him for the consultation prior to the procedure. I had a good experience. He was pleasant and easy to talk to. He did an assessment. He reviewed my chart prior to meeting me for the visit as he was aware of my history and meds that I take. I did not feel rushed with visit. His instructions were clear. He offered coupons for copay at the pharmacy. So far, I would recommend.
Will give an update after the colonoscopy.
