Was there anything outstanding?
I had 3 surgeries in 2 years with Dr Blickenstaff and the care was very good. He was so good to be respectful of my time and he personally would pop in to apologize if running behind (which was rare as I usually saw him within 20 minutes of appointment time at the longest wait). I felt he truly cared and listened.
