I was able to get a video visit with Dr Blechman very quickly, and I was also able to schedule tests in the same week. His staff was super nice, and helpful with the scheduling.

I had a great experience with Dr. Blechman. It can be difficult to discuss and deal with gastro issues but Dr. Blechman put me to ease and was able to answer all of my questions. There was a bit of anxiety dealing with a procedure and Dr. Blechman and his team went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable. They were also very accommodating with scheduling me an appointment. Thank you Dr. Blechman and team!! Would definitely recommend and go back!
