Patient Reviews
Sep 03, 2020
I have already recommend friends to Dr. Blocker. When I went to him, I could hardly walk. My left hip was a disaster. He explained everything me, what to expect and what my limitations would be, suffice it to say my total hip replacement well, not problems. He's very patient and genuinely care for his patients as individuals. I was so confident had no problems. I had my second replacement this June, recovery for me is relatively quick. I highly recommend him. Much thanks, Dr. Blocker, I'm finally pain free!
