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.

Former patient
Dr. Blau is extremely arrogant and didn’t treat my pain well at all. When I told him the strength of medicine he was giving me (the lowest it comes in) didn’t help my pain he accused me of drug seeking. Well, obviously, I’m in excruciating pain and he was purposely under prescribing because he thought my pain wasn’t severe enough. I have two herniated discs with tears that have no more disc fluid in them and he had the MRI to prove it! But he makes sure to tell you he “just lives” with severe pain every time you see him so he expects you to, too. When I asked for an increase a 3rd time (in TEARS) he dropped me as a patient!! I never missed an appointment, failed a drug test or ran out of medication early. He’s an absolute disgrace of a provider. Avoid him at all costs.

Dr Blau does NOT listen to his patients. I have seen him for about a year now and can tell you his entire medical history because he likes to repeat it every appointment as if that makes him an expert in MY pain because he has pain too. He called other doctors in his field “incompetent” because they did not agree with him. I’m done with this guy. A BS in Zoology apparently gets you in medical school.....

A concerned patient of Dr Blau’s – Nov 14, 2020
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Blau?
Dr. Blau and his staff are great! Very professional, courteous, and caring folks. Dr. Blau is a real down to earth doctor who explains everything very well and strives to relieve pain and get a person totally cured from pain. He worked with me for almost 4-years keeping me as pain free as possible trying to avoid surgery in which I did not want. I ended up getting surgery this year after all. Now I am totally pain free. Dr. Blau played a major role in buying me time and getting me cured. Thanks!

Dr Blau has been seeing my wife and I for over 10 years combined. He has done NOTHING to cure either of our pain. On wife's last visit he asked if she had had surgery ( which he refered her and had in Jan 2016. Then he said he was going to refer her to Dr Lien ( a nerve specialist) for a series of tests, again, she had those tests done in Nov 2016. He is incompetent and nothing more than ripping off insurance and I can safely say the whole Texas Spine And Joint Hospital is not as advertised ,
