Dr. Blau literally saved my life! I wouldn't go to anyone else. After seeing two other oncologists I saw Dr. Blau and she clearly explained why I needed to do chemo while the other two didn't recommend chemo. I went back to the first two and one changed their mind that I should in fact do chemo. She is aggressive and is there for you the entire time for support.

I learned more about the breast cancer I have then I have in the past 17 years. She spent the time educating me about specific tumors, kinds of treatments, clinical trials and told me she will be working on the plan for next treatment. She is caring, compassionate and made me feel like I was the most impt person in the room.

I have been seeing Dr. Blau for about 4 years. She is one of the more compassionate physicians that I have had the opportunity to have for care.

SUSAN, THE PA, IS ALSO FANTASTIC. I WOULD LIKE TO SUGEST THAT THE EMPLOYEES WHERE NAME TAGES THAT ARE NOT USED TO SWIPE FOR SECURITY--THAT ARE FASTENED TO THE COLLAR. I HAVE BEEN GOING THERE FOR YEARS AND STILL DON'T KNOW SOME NAMES--IT IS EMBARRASSING TO ME. THE NAMES SHOULD BE READILY READABLE TO ALL PATIENTS.

Dr. and her staff have been part of our family for over 13 years now. She and her staff have always been kind, compassionate and ready to listen to our concerns. Dr. Blau has been there every step of the way for my wife during the cancer treatment and even during the many years of follow up visits. Dr. Blau has become family, just as we have become a part of her family. We have great admiration for her and her husband and their shared research of cancer.
