I have had a few really good doctors in my life. Two of them, with Dr. Blakely at the top of the list, have been beyond fabulous! She is not only a terrific doctor, but also a marvelous person. I had been through chemo twice for two different cancer/leukemias when I moved to Tennessee. When my CLL resurfaced, she was reassuring, compassionate and kind and her treatment has gotten me to a really good place with that disease. I would take up way too much space detailing the incredible caring of this wonderful doctor.

I have been seeing Dr Blakely for the past year due to having breast cancer. She is knowledgeable, makes sure you understand what is going on and what the plan is to help you. She takes her time to talk to you, see how your feeling and genuinely cares about her patients. I truly love this doctor and thank God for her. I am now free of cancer.

She is so rude . Has no time for her patients and my friend I s now full of cancer all over due to her negligence . My friend was late to his appointment and she walked by the open door and said “he was 15 min late so I am out of here !” How unprofessional. My other friend was refused treatment and dismissed only because she wanted to ask Dr Blakey questions. My friend then had to wait on treatments and her cancer grew. Do not use this doctor. She is narcistic and unethical
