Patient Reviews
Jul 20, 2023
Sansum Clinic is an excellent facility. The Internal Medicine unit is a well-run machine. Like most I.M. practices these days, it's pretty much all business. Dr Bliss is an effective clinician and she employs every modern tool at her disposal. I appreciate that. She's all about providing the best diagnostics and treatment options given the limited time allowed for each patient. Don't expect empathetic hand holding or small talk. That's not her job.
Excellent clinician. Don't expect old-fashioned ha — Jul 20, 2023
