It has been 15 years today that Dr. Blinman and his team saved my daughter. If it were not for him and his team, the entire hospital, we would have lost our daughter. We are very blesses to have met him, not under the best situation but if it were not for them and their determination we would have lost her. I have so many amazing things to say but no space. Trust me, he knows his stuff and OUR FAMILY trusted our daughters life to him/them! Thank you

My daughter and I have so many positive things to say about Dr. Blinman. He made sure that my daughters visit and the surgery went very smooth especially since we came from out of the area. He was informative, very knowledgeable and spoke to my daughter and made her feel that she had control of the procedure that would be taking place. Really, I can't say enough about Dr. Blinman and his team at CHOP.

Dr Thane blinman is a surgeon at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. We had to deal with him a few times already and have had nothing but negative encounters with this surgeon each time. He spoke to my child and to me with such cruelty and bluntness. I was appalled by his behavior and how he carries himself as a medical professional. I will not allow such a horrible human being to ever come near my child again, let alone to perform surgery. Chop has many other brighter, kinder and highly capable surgeons available to perform surgery for children.

If I were to write a comment about Dr. Blinman it would be a long one. I was very hesitant the first time I met him due to my daughters fragile condition but I trust Dr. Blinman with my childs life. I feel that she is alive today due to him and thank you will never be enough. If you are blessed to meet him you will understand. He is one of the best Dr.'s I could ever be lucky enough to meet.
