Dr. Blum is good in the sense that she seems to know what she is doing and is smart, but she does not really spend very much time with you or really go over in detail the things you discuss. Sheseems to quickly come in and out of rooms hoping to squeeze as many people in which is frustrating when you want advice and information about your dermatologic needs. She pushes for treatments and procedures that will be beneficial to her rather than really treating/discussing the problems at hand.

Quick and easy, yet very friendly and thorough. The office staff was very nice and efficient. Dr Blum didn't leave me in the room for a long time after her medical assistant finished, which was great! She was quick, but answeredall of my questions in a way that I could understand. She is not an alarmist, which is very helpful

Very professional with minimal waiting time. She remembers her patients, it's not like a medical factory where they see you for five minutes and have no recollection of who you are and why you are seeking treatment. Both she and thestaff are very friendly and make this as pleasant an experience as going to the Dr. can be.

I thought Dr. Blum was disinterested and unprofessional during my appointment. She clearly had little interest in examining me and showed little care for the concerns that I raised. I would absolutely never recommend her nor will I return toher practice. It was a waste of time for me to have visited her office.

She is probably best for cosmetic dermatology. I appeciate her ability to calm nerves and ease tension. She will not embarrass you or make you uncomfortable, she is great at just getting to the point and won't dwindle on the couplespots you have on your face when you did not come in to talk about that.

The office is very nice and clean and modern. I really liked everything except the doctors bedside manner. It was clear she was monologuing the same things she’s said a thousand times before, and only touched on my concerns with aquick sentence or two. I thought maybe I was imagining things, but then when I walked out of my room, I saw the doctor move quickly to close her office door before we made eye contact. I’m sure she is very busy, but I felt like I was more of an appointment to get through instead of a patient.

I highly recommend Dr. Blum. I have seen her for a few years now and she was able to help me with varied skin care needs including a post-surgery scar that was infected as well as help with acne and anti-aging.I've never had to wait more than a few minutes to be seen which is a big plus.

I saw Dr. Blum for an annual skin screening. I've never had any specific problems, but like to go annually because you never know. Dr. Blum was very speedy which was good from a time management sense but not necessarily comfortingfrom a health perspective. I'd probably go back until I have reason not too, but just be sure to get all of your questions out at the beginning.
