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.

Great urologist
I saw Dr Block after I had received a prostate cancer diagnosis. He carefully guided me through my options. I felt confident in our choice for treatment and have had great follow care with him for over four years now. He is friendly, knowledgeable and very empathetic. I recommend him highly.

Dr Block was recommended for my kidney cancer. I'm glad he was, he was very informing, answered all my questions and the surgery went as planned. I have been following up with him for 2 years and have been very pleased and would highly recommend Dr Block.

Dr. Block is very professional. He has very good "bed side manner". He is easy to talk to and is willing to take the time to sit down to visit with you addressing all of your concerns. He explains things in a way you can understand. I would definitely recommend him to family or friends.

wow, I don't know what their talking about, I have been seeing Dr. Block and his staff since I had my prostate removed. Dr Block then referred me to Mayo Clinic since I had a very aggressive form of cancer. After my treatment there, Dr Block has taken over my cancer treatment and as of 3/18/20 my PSA has remained undetectable. It doesn't get much better than that. The staff, Luke and Rosie are the best and answer any questions I have and I must say I see Dr Block regularly every month @ Floyd Valley. I am very grateful for their compassion and top notch care.

You meet Dr. Block the first time then after you meet with his PA. The PA can't give you a answer when you ask him a question. I've seen Dr. Block 2 times 3 years ago and its been his PA ever since and they charge me as seeing a specialist. When it's just his PA and he signs off on it so you have to pay the higher co-pay. I even waited over an hour in the waiting room and they didn't even care.
