Patient Reviews
Jul 13, 2024
Dr. Blumstein has been my rheumatologist since 2013. I adore him. He is thorough and caring, and he engages in friendly (and often funny) conversation while conducting the requisite exam. He has helped me immensely, including making time to see me the same day I called with an emergency. I trust him completely. In his care I feel less like a patient and more like a friend.
