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.

I have been looking all over for DrBlanc I’m so glad I finally found him. He is the best cardiologist ever.

Dr. Blanc always takes the time to answer questions and explain things in a friendly and personable manner. Doesn't push for unnecessary meds or tests, but is willing to obtain what is necessary, as well as work with you to get medications in the best possible combination and dosage.

Dr Blanc has always been very nice and thorough. He knew instantly that I had mitral valve prolapse, which no other dr said. He prescribed medicine that took care of my taci-cardia and chest pains. Ran all the test he needed to, to find all my problems. I totally trust him.

Very unlikely. My mother was released after having heart surgery and told she would live another 10 years. One week later she was dead and her family can’t get this doctors office to call us back to tell us what the heart monitor read when she died. We have filled out all the forms and call and leave a message daily and no one will call us back to give us some closure. I would not recommend sending a loved one here.

At her first follow-up appointment ( post hospital ) with her chart in hand, this doctor wanted to know what he could do for me, the husband of the patient. He then scheduled and performed a cardioversion which resulted in about 1 hour of proper rhythym . At that point his office was called and the nurse ordered a 48 hour monitor. The monitor was "installed" , worn and returned.. At the follow-up appointment, again with the chart in hand, Dr. Blanc asked "So how does it feel to be in rhythym.

Dr. Blanc and his staff provided the very best of care to my husband during his recent illness. They are professional, caring, and extremely competent. I would highly recommend Dr. Blanc to anyone I know and feel confident that they will receive the same excellent medical treatment that we did. Dr. Blanc, his P.A., and the hospital staff associated with him went above and beyond to make sure we were well taken care of, informed and treated respectfully.
