empathetic & caring. she will follow thru on necessary tests and results. while so many physicians and N.P.'s leave us feeling like nothing more than a statistic, Michelle goes above & beyond to clarify issues and actually listens.

I do not recommend Michelle Blakley at all. She doesn’t listen to anything you tell her, is not very willing to see you and never returns messages. She took me off of my thyroid meds that I had been on for a while and screwed up my whole system. She laughed at what I was taking and acted like my last doctor (who retired or else I’d still be going to him) was crazy. If I could give no stars I would. She has no clue what she is doing. Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else!

Michelle is VERY friendly, competent, and very thorough. I'm in recovery and she goes above and beyond to research other alternatives to medication in order to treat me. She respects my wishes not to take narcotics. There's no wasted time reminding her? of past visits, as she's already prepared for our visit before she walks through the door. I can honestly say Michelle has a vested interest in me, my health, and what she can do to help me reach and maintain my physical and mental health goals!

First of all, she is incompetent. She argued with me about my medication (thyroid) which I'd been on for a year and this was the first time talking with her. Her most basic medical knowledge is at least 10 years out of date. She told me everything was fine, but I had a sever uti that was clearly visible and I had to discover this on my own even though she could have told me... but I guess she doesn't know what a uti is. Her ego clearly outweighed her intellect.
