I started seeing Dr. Blake about a year ago when I was in the middle of an auto immune health crisis. She was very thorough and went above and beyond in her initial blood testing orders that allowed me to very quickly secure an appointment with a rheumatologist, who was able to diagnose my specific condition.

As a result of my diagnosis and treatment, I have had to have regular bloodwork done and this is occurred through Dr. Blake‘s office. She and her nurse Tara provide wonderful care and have been very cognizant about my fear of needles. Dr. Blake always allows plenty of time during appointments to get updates, address, what needs to be done and explore possible solutions. She presents at every appointment as caring and interested in exploring options specifically to ease the pain I experience on a daily basis. She doesn’t rush appointments, responds to every email that I’ve sent and genuinely seems interested in improving my health.

This process has been very frustrating, and has often led to discouragement, as I have never had any health issue like this one in my life. Thankfully, Dr. Blake has never given up and has always been encouraging and helpful in her approach. While my autoimmune condition is not resolved, improvements have been noted, and I’m very grateful for Dr. Blake’s care, concern and expertise in navigating this challenging experience.
