Patient Reviews
Mar 29, 2024
Dr Blazar is very personable, saw me promptly, has many years of experience, and his clinical explanations for my hand pain (CMC disease) were very clear. He enabled me to obtain hand braces the same day, which I much appreciate since I come from a distance. If conservative treatment does not work, I feel very comfortable going to the next steps with Dr Blazar.
