Patient Reviews
Mar 13, 2024
I have been seeing Dr BLEM for over 5 years and am being treated diabetic retinopathy and yes there are wait times that’s because he’s taking care of other patients. That’s how I want to be treated, taking his time with my eyes. He has always discussed and answered my questions. I would say Leslie is tops as far as being kind to patients. The others are ok just got to loosen up a little, make that patient feel at ease. Give them a chance, this has to be a stressful job.
