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.

Knee Injury
Dr Bleckner was outstanding with his consultation on my knee injury. The appointment did not feel rushed and I felt a definite CARE from he and his entire team. Thank you, Dr. Bleckner.

This was by far the worst experience I’ve had seeing a specialist. I went to see Dr Bleckner due to some pain I was having, upon which he scheduled an MRI. The insurance rejected the MRI due to “the supporting data belonging to a different patient! I spent over 3 hours on calls over 6 weeks following up on this and trying to determine a next step, without which nothing seemed to be happening. Finally after discussion with the insurance, it was determined that PT was required before an MRI could be scheduled. The Dr insisted that I needed to go back in to visit for an evaluation before he could write a PT order as it had been so long since he saw me! So I should pay for two dr visits and over 6 weeks of no action in order to get a PT order? I was surprised that an MRI was the first course of action recommended but went with it, assuming the dr knew what he was doing. I was wrong. What a waste of my time and a laughable degree of incompetence.

Dr. Bleckner has been my orthopedic specialist since 2012. His expertise in this field of medicine is outstanding. From surgery on my right knee to repair a shattered kneecap to other general orthopedic issues I have counted on him and his staff to bring me back from my injuries to living a normal life style.
