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.

My review is not for Dr. Blanchford, but the whole practice. When i went for my physical, i was treated like a number and not like a patient. Everyone there (except Dr. Blanchford) had no personality and acted like they hated their job. I was just pushed from check in to work up and from the doctor to the lab. I then get a notice in my email that my white blood cell count is low and i need to come back in 3 months for blood work. Nobody called me at all to ease my mind or explain anything. I went back 6 days ago for my blood work and i have yet to be called or emailed about my results. In the mean time, i have been trying for 2 weeks to get my husband an appointment there for a physical and every time i call, nobody answers and i have to leave a message. When they call back, its 5 minutes before they close (ironically) so we have to wait until the next day. I have called every day this week and have yet to get a call back. I am going to find a new practice.

I’ve been a patient of Dr. Blanchford for 19 years. She is one of the most compassionate, thorough, and knowledgeable doctor you will ever meet. She listens to your concerns and she gives you detailed information about your diagnosis. I am blessed to have her as my primary care physician. She’s Incredible!
