I was so impressed with Dr. Blum. He spent so much time with me and made me feel like I was the only patient he had. He was so caring and truly wanted to make sure I understood what he was saying. I was truly amazed! |
|
02/08/2025 |
Dr. Blum is amazing!!! He had me explain to him what I understood about my condition (as a former educator, this is truly best practice) to ensure I actually did understand. He drew a picture of what his future expectations of the drug effects on my cancer would be, looked at and discussed pictures on my phone of side effects I have started having and created a plan and truly spent time with me and didn't make me feel like he had any other patients waiting ion him. He is brilliant but his patient Interactions and bedside manner er are second to none!!! |
