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.

Absolutely the worst doctor ever
His only license appears to be in disrespect and terrible service.

I might be jaded.
So he seems like your typical surgeon to me not so great bedside he’s certainly more comfortable with the surgical aspect if you don’t have the questions ready he’s not going to explain a lot not that he doesn’t explain things he certainly does but I definitely feel like there could be some finer tuning in his process as it comes off fairly blunt if you’re going to go see a specialist in a non emergency situation I’d definitely research your condition or issue first so you can ask the questions you want information for. Other than that he preformed the procedure just fine in my opinion. He’s just not a warm cuddly bedside manner doctor.

I am very surprised to hear some of these negative reviews! I have been seeing Dr. Blotter for around 10 years. He did my wrists (carpel tunnel) He also did my Hip replacement and just recently 2020 did a complete knee replacement. At present he treats tendonitis on my wrist. He has treated my husband also. We have extremely happy with his services. He has always been very professional and have always felt at ease. We have nothing but good to say about his bedside manner and would highly recommend him!

His bedside manner was rude and condescending. I was referred by my primary care physician due to bone spurs in my shoulder. He said, you are seeing a surgeon so why do you think you need surgery? I said I didn't necessarily think I needed surgery but wanted an expert opinion on how best to treat the problem. He was curt, unfriendly and didn't smile. He dictated his office note while I was in the room and would look to me for an answer for those things he didn't know. I would not recommend him to anyone else. BTW, I work in healthcare.

Well he just immediately tells you he won’t prescribe pain meds even if you aren’t asking for them and have severe pain. He offers zero solutions after screwing up a simple surgery for a broken bone and has horrible bedside manner. There is a reason why ortho docs get horrible reviews in Marquette!! Save yourself a headache and pay more in Green Bay it’s more than worth the drive! After all this is your bones we’re talking about!!

Dr Blotter did a good job in repairing my broken femur. I feel he needs to listen more to his patients and give deeper explanations. I feel he needs to improve his caring and compassion toward his patients. He made me think he's a doctor for money reasons only. He doesn't take a sincere interest in patients. The staff is very professional and nice. Nurses return phone calls within a reasonable amount of time (24 hrs.). All areas of the suite is clean and the wait time is short.
