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.

Dr Blumin had never meet me prior to last Wednesday but when we met for the first time he knew my history w/o asking well prepared for my visit so impressed with Dr. Blumin and his staff.Thank you so much

I was very impressed with Dr. Blumin. He put me at ease and gave me hope. He stated my throat was not the worse he has seen. He felt intubation could be done safely. When I had surgery, intubation was successful. I did not need a tracheostomy, which was my concern. Dr. Blumin and his staff are fantastic!

Dr. Blumin was warm and friendly, listened to my concerns, and was well prepared by looking at my complicated health history beforehand. He explained what was happening with my vocal folds and discussed why therapy would be the best next step. The therapist was there the entire time, which is great so she was prepared to help set up sessions immediately. I would absolutely recommend Dr. Blumin to anyone experiencing voice issues.
