Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep the reviews trustworthy, honest & fair.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

Dr. Blitch and his staff were very professional, personable, compassionate, and kind. He explained everything that was going on, provided me with a plan of action, and ensured I understood what I needed to do. The staff greeted me warmly and were the same each time I visited the office. They made me feel like I was the only patient. I observed them treating everyone that entered the office the same way they treated me. Thanks so much. This is greatly appreciated. I recommend them to everyone I meet.

Pain in my left foot with a swollen area on top that was hard. The first time I saw him, he gave me an injection in the area, and the injection was painless, which was my first wonderful surprise. It was a year later before the pain returned. I was NOT concerned about going back to him and getting another injection, because I couldn't even feel the first one. He, along with his staff, is very assuring and competent in his assessment and treatment. A wonderful doctor!!!!

Dr Blitch is an absolutely wonderful talented diagnotian & surgeon. I had reaccuring ulcer on my great toe that would not heal. I went to 2 DOZEN wound care specialists for 5 yrs to no avail.!! Finally I went to Dr Blitch, a surgeon I had gone to before, and within 20 sec of my 5 yr story, he interrupted, and said I needed arthroplasty... Finally after 5 long years I had a diagnosis & a surgical plan.! Honestly, Don’t hesitate to go to him.
