I have been visiting with Dr. Blau for about two years. He introduced me to periodic cortisone injections. As someone with a phobia to needles, he has made the procedure one that I almost look forward to. We have had discussions about whether a replacement is the right move and I have confidence that he will be there when the big decision is made.

Dr. Blau performed knee replacement on both of my knees. He was very professional , addressed all my concerns before & after the surgery. I would recommend him to others looking for an orthopedic surgeon.

Dr. Blau has been my orthopedic surgeon/physician for several years. a few years ago, he performed an arthroscopy on my left knee and relieved me of a lot of pain. I am very happy with his services. He is extremely competent, has a terrific 'bedside' manner, really nice personality and takes as much time as you need during appointments. He never rushes you. And whenever he gives me a cortison shot into my knees, he does it so well it hardly hurts. i feel fortunate to have Dr. Blau as my orthopedic surgeon.
