He was disinterested in my concerns and reason for a second opinion. He spoke down to me and acted as if I was wasting his time. He was not Ames able to my questions and it appears he may not have looked at my MRI radiographs I brought with me on CD, as he indicated all he saw was OA. He made several disparaging comments about my weight. He repeated its effects on weight bearing joints, as if I didn’t know that coming in. I wanted a second opinion to have a well trained eye look at my MRI to make sure there was nothing going on, as my pain is exquisite and will not relent. I got a call from the radiologist who prepared my MRI report indicating her report was flawed and my menisci was effected and indicated I also had bone spurs (some other finding was noted that I cannot remember what the tech read to me). This alone confirms Dr. Blum did not look at the MRI or his trained eye is going blind!!!

Amazing! Dr. Blum fixed my youngest son’s knee ..he is a firefighter..so it is perfect. I knew the one to trust with my old knee as soon as the injury was diagnosed. Another terrific surgery. If I could give Dr.Blum 10 stars I would he is extra special.
