Dr. Blanco is wonderful. Been seeing him for over 15 years when I have a problem, and he is attentive, caring and personable. Also he has excellent availability. I am not a fan of most doctors, but he is really exceptional.

Diagnosed my problem before I knew I had one. Observed changes in my eye and began treatment. When,problem began to progress after several years of stability, he referred me to NY Eye and Ear to see a specialist. He is extremely knowledgeable but his ego does not get in the way of his concern for the wellbeing of his patient
