I was referred to Dr Bleday 18 years ago following a diagnosis of rectal cancer. At that time I found him to be kind, considerate, very competent, and willing to be sure I understood what was going on with my body and mind. I have great respect for him and his entire office. No question goes unanswered and every answer is communicated in a very timely manner. As time went on, and my needs evolved he was available to once again help me with a surgery to make some changes by cleaning up some scar tissue Recently, my GI physician felt it was time to refer me again to Dr Bleday for a consultation. I heard back from his office very quickly and was seen in a couple of days. He had reviewed all records and made his recommendations giving me plenty of time to be sure I understood his reason for these decisions. Dr Bleday treats me as a whole person and has always done his best to make my life better. I am very grateful to have had his expertise, innovation, and caring bedside manner for all these years.
