Any time I have some serious symptoms that are bad enough for me to contemplate going to the ER, the office is never accessible. Not just that but Dr. Blum is incredibly arrogant and doesn't take any complaint seriously.

Rude, unprofessional, incompetent. The office personnel are even worse than the doctor and regularly violate patient confidentiality procedures. Avoid this office at all costs if you care about your health or that of your loved ones. F-

Dr. Blum is indeed a smart ans caring Physician. He was my Dr. until I moved out of State. I miss him and his skills. He takes time with each patient and you never feel like you are being rushed.
