    Please keep Dr.Blum. He is an excellent clinician. I have been seeing him for 10 years and it would be a huge loss.

    Dr Blum was the epitome of what a care provider can be. He started by asking what I wanted to get out of the mtg. He apologized (and explained why) for having to ask the same questions I may have answered already. He listened and answered my questions. These examples show he thought about the appt from the pt's perspective. A rare and wonderful trait. He shared his knowledge and was up to date on the latest research.
