Dr Blanda is great. His office staff on the other hand would get 1 star. But I am rating him They are rude at times they do not call back within and fair amount of and allotted time. 24 hours is a fair amount of time to get a call back. Not 72hours later. Then going to be rude. Even in the office some of his front personal needs lessons in manners.

I had an "old" style fusion from 35 years' ago that lasted for 30 years before the scar tissue became a problem.

Dr Blanda is excellent doctor. Straight to the point, dedicated, listens to his patients. There is only one of him, so he is worth the wait. He is a busy man, with surgeries I believe on Mondays & Wednesdays. Then meeting with patients on Tuesdays & Thursdays. There is no one with a bigger heart & drive to fix people.
