Sep 01, 2023
Dr. Alfonso Blum is an excellent primary care physician he took the time necessary to listen to me and my medical problems and provided appropriate follow up and referred me to the appropriate specialists as needed. I found Dr. Blum recently when I was looking for a new primary care physician after relocating back home, I highly recommend him to anyone who needs a primary care physician in northwest Indiana area.
