He spent time reviewing my images with me and used a spine model to allow me to understand. Makes sense why he has you come back. Now I understand. They previous other Doctor did not do this.

This place requires an appointment to go over MRI results. That's fine but no one says that until after the MRI. Imagine being so hurt you can't get out of bed, and now I've got to wait another two weeks to even see what the next action can be to try to find relief. If two appointments are needed to have a MRI discussed, let's go ahead and make both of them ahead of time.

Extremely happy with my result. He took time to show me my mri pictures and why I was in pain and why the injections did not help. The surgery was outpatient and I am back to work and grateful.

First doctors visit in my whole life that the doctor was on time. Went to Dr. Blok as a second opinion because my neighbors Mom recommended him. He showed me my mri pictures and offered non surgery options for my pain. Impressed! Seen another doctor in Louisville who recommended surgery and did not show me my mri or explain why I hurt. That other doctor was in and out of the room in under 5 minutes.

Dr. Blok and Dr. Silva both took care of me. Explained my mri to me and how surgery would work. I had pt and injections with no relief. I could not work. I am back to working because of them! and enjoying my life.

He was able to refer me to Dr. K for an injection that took away my pain. Another spine doc wanted to put screws in Ky back. He also showed my mri which no one else took the time.

First doctors appointment I have every been to in my 60 years of seeing docs. He came in 2 minutes before my scheduled time, was not in a hurry, and showed my the actual mri pictures. Came up with a non surgical plan that worked. I saw him as a second opinion. The first doctor wanted to do surgery, did not show me my mri and did a 30 second exam. Highly recommend him.
