Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

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

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

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

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

Very satisfied and would recommend to others.
I have had nothing but great experiences with Dr. Putman. As I read the reviews, I get the sense that someone is upset with his family philosophy rather than actual Treatment with him. I have been to him for breast cancer , UTI, and arthritis. He diagnosed and treated all. My ratings are based on : (1)I have never had to wait more than 10 minutes past an appointment, (2) I have never felt rushed through, even when his office is busy. (3) Staff have always been friendly and helpful. (4) Dr. Blake has always answered my questions, explained, and met my needs. Yes, sometimes I can't get an appointment the same day I call, but that is to be expected with a Doctor that is popular and well established. I would give him 10 stars if I could. M.O.

Excellent Care
Always treated w/ respect, listens intently, very caring and knowledgable Dr. Staff is always friendly. Only problem is, they can never seem to get re-fill prescriptions right. Seem to send the prescription to the wrong place. Cannot comprehend that an Opiod CANNOT be ordered through mail order. I watch my sister go through this every month with the office staff concerning her pain meds. Wish they could get a handle on this.

Dr. Putman is an outstandingn Dr.
Dr. Putman is the Dr. we all need today. He is very attentive, genuine, and knows what he is doing. So many Drs today do not really remember who you are or could care less if you get better.

Doctor kept prescribing medications I kept having side effects to and wouldn't listen to me when I told him about it. He either seemed to not know what to do or didn't seem to care. I had to switch doctors. Great office staff, they are all sweethearts!

He told my daughter that her deep cough was just part of a "sinus infection" and told her he's absolutely positive that she didn't have COVID, but didn't even test her. He refused to test her and she had to ask him to put a mask on in the room too! Four days later she was in the ER, tested positive for COVID, and is still in a hospital for COVID associated pneumonia. Please stay away from this doctor, he does NOT believe in COVID or the COVID vaccine. It's no wonder why he wasn't able to get into medical school here in the United States and instead had to go to a foreign country for schooling. Please, stay away from this doctor.

Tom P Fletcher – Dec 21, 2020
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Putman?
After many recommendations, my first appointment left me highly disturbed and disappointed. The doctors ignorance and lack of empathy was quite real yet surprising? We discussed my several conditions and medications I’m prescribed. He ordered typical blood work and called in my prescriptions. He purposely left out one High blood pressure medication. I wasn’t notified or warned he was discontinuing my medication. I learned the terrible complications of abruptly stopping this drug by falling into a deep and miserable withdrawal. It’s not recommended to quit cold turkey. It’s not a scheduled nor a controlled medicine. The once friendly staff had turned to demeaning, with ill tempered rudeness. My experience left me disgusted by the stigma and discrimination I received. I do not recommend choosing this practice
