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.

Health issue addressed in a professional manner
The ER had a number of patients with heart issues so although I was in pain, I understood the delay to my treatment. The nursing staff got all labs and ekg done quickly. Dr. Blubaugh saw me, listened to my information, examined me and ordered CT scan. After reviewing results, told me his evaluation, recommendation and prepared report for my dismissal. He was very professional and gave me the information I will need to heal and get back to normal. I really like his bed side manner and felt confident in his ability. The nursing staff were all respectful and helpful during my ER visit. I definitely recommend Dr. Blubaugh and Cox ER Branson.

I thought Dr Blubaugh did a good job when I saw him in the ER New Year's Day 2021 at Cox ER. He listened to me, evaluated the medical condition, verified the issue with a scan and provided a solution for my issue. I was going to see if he is also a PCP provider but don't think he has a weekly office in Branson. If you do let me know. Regards
