Dr. Blankstein was extraordinarily pleasant and generous with his time. I think the visit lasted maybe 45 minutes. Completely reviewed my history and was well informed about my prior history. And carefully went over my meds and then After my blood results came in, he called me within an hour to modify my drug protocol. Very, very impressive. One of the most impressive visits I've ever had with a doctor.

Dr. Blankstein is a kind and patient, and I always have worthwhile visits with him. On a secondary effort, there were problems with parking for the first time. When I got there, they let the last person into the line for help with parking, valet parking. and I was not allowed in. And I ended up having to walk a long way, which was not good for me because I was dealing with a leg injury. So, something to do with having more valet parking available for people who are arriving around 9 o'clock as I did. Thank you.
