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.

Superb experience.
Kind, listens patiently and explains condition, testing and treatment options. Glad I found this great Dr after being mis-diagnosed elsewhere. One of the best physicians I have ever met.

Superb Consult
My experience consulting with Dr Blum was excellent. She was very kind, empathetic and listened to my medical concerns. She was very thorough & detailed with questions about my history and we discussed a plan of action. She ordered some tests and scheduled a follow up visit. During the follow-up appt she provided me withher diagnosis & next steps. Very pleased with the experience & highly recommend her. I am fortunate to have met such a competent patient oriented physician. Brad P

Smart, dedicated, top-notch and super caring
Dr. Blum is an exceptionally experienced physician and neuroscientist - as well as a dedicated and caring human being. I recommend her wholeheartedly to anyone who has to navigate difficult decisions related to a parent’s memory loss. I really appreciate the time she gives to listen to and address different questions and concerns from every family member. Equally important, she has an excellent team supporting her.

Dissapointed
Dr Blum contrary to her bio for the marshfield clinic which said helping patients, made my husband feel bad about himself. She stated there was a medication that could be truly helpful but denied it because my husbands dementia was rapidly advancing and he was “too stupid”Each visit he made, she made him feel more poorly about himself and on his last visit which she requested I be there , I was appalled at how in his presence she degraded him to me. Had she not discontinued coming to Marshfield we were going to seek treatment elsewhere.
