I am a 92 year old woman and in the past I have been dismissed when looking for pain relief with comments like "you should feel lucky to be doing as well as you are dear". Dr Blake paid attention to my pain and continues to work to aleviate my discomfort .Dr Blake is compassionate,and listens carefully.She is imformative and patiently describes what she will do and during the proceedure she constantly asks about my comfort level. She is very optimistic that she will be able to help me. I highly recommend Dr. Blake .

I had been getting injections that were working great, until Dr. Blake moved to a different location and things went from bad to horrible. I waited 3 hours and by the time I was seen I was the last patient. When she injected the pain med, it was excruciating and blood was everywhere! I believe she hit a nerve.She apologized profusely. Since then I have not been able to walk without limping and my back pain is worse than ever! NEVER AGAIN!!!!!

Stay away from this doctor. She treats patients like dirt beneath her shoes and all she wants is the insurance money. No regard for patient’s time or feelings. No opportunity to ask questions or to express concerns. Insulting, condescending, arrogant, rude, and fundamentally dishonest. I would give a zero star rating if I could.

Dr. Blake is one of the most kind and caring doctors I have ever met. She is a credit to her profession and star anesthesiologist. She takes the time to explain the problem you are experiencing and really cares about the health and well-being of her patients.

Dr Blake is a kind, caring and compassionate physician. She explained everything she was doing and kept asking if I was "okay". The procedure performed by Dr. Blake was a lumbar epidural steroid injection. No pain experienced, only light pressure. My only negative is I can't find Dr. Blake as she left the office where I was treated. I would really like to be able to contact her.
