Reviews
Everyone was kind and helpful, from the ladies at the desk right up Dr. Blumenstein. I felt well taken care of and heard by Dr. Blumenstein. He was attentive, listening to everything I said and took the time to answer every question. I would highly recommend him to anyone.
I had some issues and Dr Blumenstein and his team addressed it I thank you.
Excellent job! Very happy with the care!
Very professional, caring, and meaningful doctor that has your best interests in mind. I had bad experiences with other doctors recently and it was a huge relief for me to finally meet Dr. B and be a patient. He is a Real Doctor by all means.… All the best and thanks
