I find Dr. Blake to be a very pleasant and professional doctor. She is patient and explains anything that I don't understand. I love her as a doctor.

Their office was clean enough, nothing special though. Their office was one of the quietest, most peaceful places I've ever visited. I was able to relax very easily. When I told Doctor Blake about my situation, she were somewhat understanding, Dr. Blake could have been more caring. Dr. Blake didn't try very hard to understand where I was coming from. The staff is ok could be more pleasant. The appointment person is very prompt. Every time I visit Dr. Blake I feel rushed and she doesnt take the time to really listen. I am seeking a new doctor. It's sad I found out my co-worker goes to the same doctor I was talking so bad about Dr. Blake one day she ask me what was her name so she wouldn't go to her my co-worker seeking a new doctor because her doctor was doing the same thing found out we both go to the same doctor. WOW!!!

Will not be returning. Dr.Blake is neither pleasant nor patient. Gets very irritated when you simply ask for further clarification on your medical care or results. You feel as though you're a nuisance and she just wants you to listen with no questions asked. Will cut you off in mid speech. Seems uncaring and impersonable. Will not recommend her to anyone. Simply put.....don't waste your time at this doctor's office.

Dr Blake is smart - that's is for the pros.

I saw Dr Blake 4 times in five months. Each time I felt like I had to re-introduce myself. I also felt that I had only a few mins to tell her what's going on, she always seemed in a hurry and was always quick to cut me off.

The first time she did this I was not upset, I came in for a physical and that was it. The second time was to go over blood test results, or so I thought. Instead, she quickly gave me a bunch of numbers of which I had no clue if they were good or bad, and again cut me off when I tried to ask questions. She then ordered another blood test that, in retrospect, was just a money grab, it really was not a test I needed.

The third time, I was a little peeved, I had the flu and a bad case of coughing, but she did not let me tell her my symptoms, nor did she examine me, other than listening to my breathing. She simply said it was a cold and prescribed ineffective cough medicine.

Four weeks later, I was in the hospital with Pneumonia and strep throat. Can't say it was a direct result of her inability to listen or even examine me (I don't hold her responsible), but that's when I realized she viewed me as nothing more than a dollar sign.

My last visit sealed the deal, I wanted to tell her about my hospital stay and what those doctors said, but she had no interest in listening. Just wanted me to sign over the medical docs to her, and pay for any copying fees. Needless to say, that was my last visit.
