Dr. Steven Blount, MD

Today, Feb.11, 2025, I was scheduled for a nerve ablation with Dr. Blount performing the procedure. i was to be there at 7:00 AM for a 9:00 procedure time and I was there at 7:00 AM. I was promptly taken into pre-op and they were getting me prepared for the procedure. At 10:00 AM I was told that they don't do nerve ablations there. I was there just a month ago for a nerve block that did not work but I was told that was what I was getting again because they don't do ablations. Dr. Blount said that they might need to do several blocks before it actually works but I said that isn't what I was scheduled for. I called my surgeon Dr. Jonathan Cohen and it was verified it was supposed to be an ablation. St. Thomas should have told Dr. Cohen that they don't do ablations when he scheduled my procedure. St, Thomas wasted my whole morning and is now causing me to be in serious pain for an even longer time. Dr. Blount has no concern for the intensity of my pain. I have been suffering from this for

Dr. Blount was the rudest, most arrogant, least compassionate physician I have ever encountered. He showed little concern for my cancer diagnosis, was extremely rushed and disinterested in explaining the procedure. You could tell the staff are very used to apologizing for him

Do not go to this man! He is in a rush and will cause you unnecessary pain. My mother was in a wreck recently and it was found that she needed a biopsy of her thyroid. Because of her injuries from the wreck, she was already in a significant amount of pain. When she went in for her biopsy, Dr. Blount did not wait for the numbing medication to effect and proceeded immediately. He went literally digging around inside her neck, because he missed his target the first time. This was a simple biopsy and her pain was completely unnecessary. A good doctor would have made certain that his patient was numb before he proceeded. Dr. Blount is in a rush, needs to slow down, and put his patients’ safety and comfort first.
