Patient Reviews
May 18, 2018
I've been a patient of Dr. Blaess for 17 years and am happy to say that he's do an excellent job. I've had several issues that required immediate treatment and he diagnosed correctly each time prior to being treated. With respect to bedside manner, he is a wonderful guy to set and talk with. I've always enjoyed my visits with him, even when I received tough news.
