“Dr. Blanda was extremely thorough and took the time to clearly explain the diagnosis of my knee. She was very professional and made sure all my questions were answered. Although I waited about 45 minutes before being seen, I appreciate a doctor who doesn’t rush and gives each patient the attention they need. Overall, a great experience.”
