Dr Blankenburg is always on time and gives me the time and attention I desire. He is thorough with a practical approach. He provides recommendations and explains things
without being condescending. He never seems rushed or bothered to listen to me and discusses his comments in a practical way. I’ve been seeing him for 25 years and can’t imagine going to anyone else. I’m 77 years old and left his office this past week feeling inspired and optimistic.

Very in professional. Does not respond to messages left on my chart, nurse or written messages by receptionists dictated by patient concerns. I have gone to him as my PCP for approximately seven years and he has gotten progressively worse over time.

My yearly physicals used to make me really nervous until I became a pathogen Dr Blankenburg!! Being a Type II diabetic I am not always on track! Dr Blankenburg has always encouraged me to keep trying harder and has never been critical ... however ... he gets his point across!!! I ALWAYS tell people how much ‘I love my doctor’!!!

This is the worst office to get an appointment with, and that includes a sick appointment. The last 2 sick appointments I attempted to make, the appointment was not available for 3-6 weeks. That's right, for a sick appointment. Last time I had pneumonia, this time I have no feeling in my legs and hands (a symptom of Diabetes with a family history). When I asked what they recommended for sick patients, they said "just go to ER" Are they paying that? Dr was gone at 2 pm, others on vacation.
