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 Blevins was professional, knowledgeable & very kind I felt very encouraged & confident that my treatment plan going forward was in proven/successful & trusted hands.

Please try to avoid acronyms and abbreviations in messages to patients. I received a message I could not understand because of the use of abbreviations/acronyms that you use everyday , but patients do not

Very Poor Communication and Bedside Manner
Extremely unprofessional when speaking with colleagues. I can only imagine how he interacts with his patients if his demeanor is so poor amongst other physicians. I'd recommend a different doctor 100% of the time.

A family member has been under his guidance for over a decade now. He has been a God sent doctor for us who listens patiently, guides very well and treats with care as if the patient is his own family member as he recommends right approaches and not just surgery. During all these years he has helped the family member with recurrence of the disease. We truly understood the value of Dr. Blevins when we went to Mayo Clinic for second advise. The doctor at Mayo was surprised that we as his patients were coming to Mayo. As per the doctor, she takes guidance from Dr. Blevins on critical cases as he is the best doctor when it comes to his area of expertise.

He is awful, I have been a patient of his for some time. He rushes every meeting, speaks in a condescending manner at times, and is slow to respond and to take action on my medical needs.

Dr. Blevins treats very rare endocrine disorders, specifically with the pituitary gland. Other doctors were out of ideas when I found Dr. Blevins online. He has been successfully treating my central Diabetes Insipidus (sometimes called water diabetes) for several years now, and I have always found him to be kind, patient, proactive, preemptive and thorough. I travel from Georgia to see Dr. Blevins in San Francisco because his comprehensive care is that good! Strong 5+ Stars. Amazing Doc.

Dr. Blevins is the only endocrinologist that has the knowledge and expertise to see my past labs, to confirm, and test for the diagnosis that, I believed was plaguing me for almost 20 years. I have seen many specialists and they do not even remotely have the experience in testing let alone, diagnosing a condition of the pituitary gland. Mine happened to be hypopituitarism caused by Sheehan’s syndrome! I am feeling exponentially better in only a few short weeks since getting treatmen

Dr. Blevins is one of the worse doctors I've ever met. He literally spent only 5 minutes with me and was dismissive. I only came to the California pituitary Disorder Center for dr. Kunwar. However, I had to schedule an appointment for both positions. If you can avoid him I would do so. He is not looking for your best interest and just wants the extra copay since you'll see him for less than 5 minutes

He's the best. I fly across the US to see him. He is understanding about the limited time I have when in SF and schedules all my tests for the same day as my appt.
