The parking garage is a nightmare. It was completely full when I arrived for my apartment. Two two runs through before I was able to find a space.
Good first-time experience with Dr. Blanco-he was very interested in my case; very understanding, and very through. Very impressed.
Dr. Blanco is open to questions, easy to converse with, and personable without losing his professionalism. It's always a pleasant experience for me to see him and review my health status.
I especially like MyChart and the ease of following all my doctors and information. Dr Blanco has always been clear about my condition and caring - lays out my choices and involves me in the decisions.
Everyone was courteous and helpful I really like my Doctor iv know him for about 15 years he always knows what's best for me and let's me know what I should do Dr. Blanco is a good Doctor and I will continue to see him for the rest of my life.
Dr. Blanco gets an A plus and I'm sorry that he cannot be on the staff at Saint Anthony's Hospital. I'm very upset about that.
A very good doctor
I am a new patient so it's hard for me to evaluate questions that require long-term experience with bayfront health. So those questions did not get the highest score.
I love the practice, I love Blanco, I love everything about it. I am. Fortunately was very unhappy that they've taken Pro Villages away from Saint Anthony's, and other hospitals, and just working at Bayfront. That's why I'm not loyal to Bayfront Health because I expect to be able to go to the hospitals that I want. But I do love Blanco's group and I will continue to attend.
Anything is better than St. Anthony's
I felt completely comfortable speaking with Dr. Blanco regarding my medical history and concerns. He was knowledgeable and thorough.
Very important visit. I was provided with a heart monitoring device to check for my atrial fibrillation. All the information was explained in detail. Both Dr. Blanco and his medical assistant were extremely conscientious and gave me so much important information before the device was attached.
Dr Blanco exceeds the standard of care expected.
Still a new relationship. So far so good
On time!
Excellent from the time that I walked in. So impressed with the Dr. and his assistant. Everything was clearly explained, plan going forward was set and appts scheduled. All can be very proud of making that visit comfortable. What wonderful & knowledge people. Thank you
