Dr. Blodgett is the ABSOLUTE BEST doctor of ANY specialty that I have ever met, and I have seen a lot of doctors of a lot of different specialties because of my Multiple Sclerosis which is VERY hard to diagnose. I didn't want to believe that I had MS for quite some time and FINALLY when I had the pleasure of meeting Dr.Blodgett he was the one and ONLY person that made me see the truth, that I do in fact have MS and that I do NEED to be on treatment for it. If it wasn't for him I don't know what I would believe at this point! I would personally reccomend Dr.Blodgett to ANYONE that needs to see a GREAT ophthalmologist because he cares about you as an individual and is in NO HURRY and takes his time with you no matter how busy he may be!

Wonderful Doctor with a great, calm bedside manner. Even his voice can calm anyone who is nervous, like myself having a procedure or exam in the office. He is excellent with a diagnosis too. Very professional, friendly, kind staff and easy to make an appointment.

I cannot say enough about Dr Blodgett and his staff. He is the 4th eye dr that I have seen and he has given me some hope. I have been without vision in my right eye for 3.5 years. I wish that I would have seen him sooner. He is knowledgeable and he and his coworkers are funny and put you at ease. I am so grateful.

Dr. Blodgett is a very intelligent man who takes the time to figure out what is going on with you vs. just guess or read a MRI report and go from there. He can actually look at your MRI images and see what the radiologist missed. That is how after almost 4 yrs he found out what was going on with my eyes and head and diagnosed me. He actually cares about his patients unlike some neurologists. Great Doctor!

I have been to this doctor several times. My experience was very positive. A cheerful and interactive staff provided me quickly and efficiently. This atmosphere is not by accident. Dr. Blodget was this way with me. Its nice to know you are not treated like a number here!

I have been seeing dr. Blodgett for more than 10 years. He is one of the most caring and compassionate doctors I have ever met. He knows all about the condition I suffer from, and he has used research to treat me. I appreciate being with a doctor who is on the cutting edge of medicine.
