Dr. Blanda is wonderful at what he does. He spends time with his patients and really has their best interests at heart. This is my first orthopedic doctor since I left Children's Hospital orthopedics and considering my surgical history, Dr. Blanda has been very understanding and has worked to eliminate my symptoms. I would send any family member or friend who needed an orthopedic doctor to Dr. Blanda without second thought.

I have had Dr. Blanda replace my left knee in Jan. 2016. By August the knee had gotten infected and at the same time I was going to his office for P.T. No one there even noticed I had an infection. They all were busy moving patients through the door. Bad, very bad.

-Patricia in Hudson, OH | Feb 11, 2017
After suffering from knee problems for a majority of my life, Dr. Blanda was the first physician who gently suggested lifestyle changes. He so kindly helped me realized that losing weight and strengthening my knee could fix my pain. His PT staff has been so supportive and he also gave me the most pain-free cortisone shot I've ever had! I am so thankful for Dr. Bland and his team!

-Amy in Akron, OH | Feb 11, 2017
Dr. Blanda and his staff were so helpful when I came in with a chronic back issue. Surgery has been recommended by previous orthopedic surgeons but that was a last resort and thankfully my issue has been greatly improved after visits with Dr. Blanda and his physical therapy team.

Dr. Blanda is a kind and compassionate doctor, who obviously cares about the wellbeing of his patients. He takes the time to listen to me, and then he explains what is causing my pain, and how we are going to try and fix it together.
