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.

The worse…
Saw this doctor for a knee issue. Non-talkative, and seemed perturbed when I asked questions. No x-ray, nor detailed questions from him. Just wrote me a prescription. Waste of time and money. Went to another physician.

Do not let him operate on you
Dr Blue is not a very conversive person but moreover he is not an honest man or a good surgeon. He had a staff member lie to me repeatedly. I know this because the staff member had a little fit and let the cat out of the bag when she smarted off with a remark that told me I had been lied to three different times. I had Left Hand cmc LRTI surgery that was unsuccessful. My surgery had to be redone two years later by a Charlotte Surgeon. There were bone fragments still in my hand from the surgery Dr Blue performed that were causing me lots of problems. My surgery never fully healed properly and my hand has been persistently numb since that surgery. I am not comfortable with Dr Blue or his staff for any further medical care because of both the poor medical treatment and the lies.

Dr. Blue performed shoulder surgery on my husband. My husband was paralyzed and in a wheelchair from a massive stroke. Dr. Blue immediately put me at ease with his knowledge and experience. His bedside manner is understandable to intelligent adults. I did not need him to hold my hand and sing me lullabies, I needed him to do surgery and he did a fine job. My husband has had no more problems with his shoulder.

Absolute worst doctor I've ever seen, and biggest waste of money I've ever spent. Rude doesn't begin to describe his bedside manner.

When we ealked in and it smelled like sewer, i sboild have backed out. Absolutely terrible service by the nurse and Dr. Blue. There is no sense of patient care or proper customer service. I have never experience such rudeness by a service provider. The rooms were unwelcoming and dirty. The pillows did not have covers and were severely stained. Awful experience. The front office staff was very polite and caring.

I am not impressed with Dr. Blue. He has no bed side manners and doesn't really care about his patients. In the visits I have made to his office the staff is really friendly but Dr. Blue is not. I understand having a bad day but to be in a bad mood every single time that's a little to much. To Be honest I am going to have a second opinion for my daughter cause I really don't think he even cared about her problem.

I seen DR. Blue after a knee injury from an automobile accident in 2p16. He performed surgery to repair damaged ligaments and I've had no problems since. While his not the most personable when it comes to talk with patients, he's a very competent doctor and will answer any questions you have. As the patient, you should always be prepared to ask your own questions.

I have been a patient of Dr Blue for maybe 6 years or so and have never met a more professional, intelligent, educated or caring doctor. He has always been willing to listen closely to my spine, hip and knee issues and discuss all possible avenues of treatment in detail. Having had 7 spine surgeries, I have way too much knowledge of some of the issues and it is extremely comforting to me, when I know that the doctor not only has the knowledge and ability, but takes a personal interest with me
