Dr Blessinger listened to me and explained a few things. He sent me for xrays of my back and scheduled an MRI so that we can learn more about what is causing my pain.

Feb-2023
He was knowledgeable but did not have a good bedside manner. I had to pull information from him and in the end his main advice to me was he didn’t know if he could help me or not. This was before we really dug into anything. I did not leave with a feeling if confidence.

Dr Blessinger was awesome on explaining to me about my injury!
Oct-2022
Zero percent chance of getting better he tells me 3 months after surgery. Why didn’t he tell me my chances before surgery? Waited in surgery prep for almost 4 hrs before finally getting numbed up. Over 6 hrs there for a 30 min surgery. Smh
Oct-2022
The fact that I was told they would handle my pain management and then when they accidentally called in the wrong script didn't fix it was pretty crappy I wasn't able to get an appt with my own doc until the 25th and diworry because I was told it would be handled I can't take anti inflamitories because I now need a scope because my esophagus is so bad from taking them I have a bladder disease and my urologist does not want me taking Tylenol so even after a medicine was accidentally sent in that had Tylenol in it the doctor refused to fix the issue so I am now sitting in my home in extreme pain having a hard time walking basically I was treated like some addict even though I have never had an issue in my entire life with any medication and I didn't ask anyone to take care of my pain for ever just the 90 days post op as I was told it would be especially with all of the issues I have had after surgery yet I was treated like some drug seeker and never even received a return phone call
Oct-2022
He asked me questions. I answered them. And he found where the pain was on my wrist. Thank you

Aug-2022
Waited over 1hr and 15 minutes after my appt. Only for him to say my back didn't look bad for a 63 yr old. I've been on disability die 20 yrs. . Just got out of the hospiral a week ago with severe pain. Only to see him and find out my back didn't look bad for a 63 yr. Old. Needless to say no help from him. I definetly won't recommend him. NOPE major disappintment.You failed me DOC

Dr. Gregory Gordon
Oct-2021
No bedside manner at all. He was in and out. He took no time to explain what his plan is to help me. He needs to speak to his patients and spend some more time with them. I did not like his cocky attitude either.
Oct-2021
I felt like Dr. Blessinger just rushed the short exam over and that he couldn’t get out of the room fast enough..

Feb-2021
I can honestly say that Dr Blessinger made me feel very comfortable. I did not feel like I was just another patient. I felt that he was truly concerned for my wellbeing. He was trying to set up other tests that need to be done as close together as possible so I didn't have to keep coming back since I live so far away. My day although long was a enjoyable one.

He is a very caring doctor.
Dec-2020
Always takes his time and answers all my questions. Couldn’t ask for better.
Dec-2020
I think he is an excellent surgeon. His nurse is very pleasant and personable. He loses a star for the blunt way he presents information. People have feelings that need to be considered and to just outwardly slam information at them is really not okay. People can be alerted without being slapped in the face.
Dec-2020
Was very pleased with the time he took to explain the issue. My issue isn’t resolved - but I will return as I trust his knowledge.
Nov-2020
Very nice DR! Will definitely recommend him!

I just had a herniated neck surgery with Doctor Blessinger back in May. However, as I started back into working, I was experiencing the same type of pain all over again just to find out I needed a double Carpal Tunnel surgery. So I had more going on then what meets the eye. Doctor Blessinger and his staff were genuinely concerned to get to the bottom of what was going and has compassion and urgency to figure the problem out and get it fixed. I am very grateful for all they did and also a big thank you to his nurse and to Kelsey for calling me on her off time to help me out.
Aug-2020
He was very knowledgeable, and put me at Great ease of going into the surgery. He did a good job and I am healing very well.

Feb-2020
Best orthopedic doctor!
Feb-2020
The doctor was very thorough and answered all my questions.
Feb-2020
Brian was very nice. He went over options and explained everything very well. Advised against surgery due to me being a very high risk patient. Surgery could possibly do more harm than good. So surgery was declined by me. But, he was helpful in guiding in a new direction with a different therapist since the one I was going to previously didn't seem to be doing any good. Not that the therapist wasn't good - he just felt that a different approach of therapy might be more helpful.
Jan-2020
Excellent results, excellent communicator. I’ll be back for more as my stenosis progresses.

So nice! Informative. Talked to me, wasn't I'm a hurry. Explained things, also. Definitely want him as my physician!
Wish more time had been spent explaining my options, including the pros and cons of each. Seems like I will need surgery at some point in the future, but still don't feel confident in making an informed decision about it.
He was super friendly and a regular guy which I loved. Very informative and kind. He’s my new go-to for Ortho for sure!
