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.

She’s the ideal Physician/specialist; Dr. Block is extremely patient-centered and possesses excellent, understanding and compassionate people skills!

It took me a while to get into see her the first time, but she was definitely worth the wait. She spent SO much time with me. I felt like I was in a class because of how she took the time to explain what was going on with my health in detail. Even drew pictures to help me understand better. Amazing doctor! All doctors should be as caring and devoted as she is.

She is very conservative about treatment. Uses alternatives before surgery. Monitors your health like it's her own. Was pushed off to many Drs. because they kept leaving area and I just seem to follow her. I do travel a ways but she is worth it.
