In patients' words

"There are no words to even start describe how wonderful Dr. Block is. He is knowledgeable, thorough, and listens to both patients and parents... He has called us back at all times of the night, even on Thanksgiving when he wasn't even on call!!"

Vitals (Dr. Bruce L. Block)

"It's impossible to get an appointment when there is a need for urgent care. He's rude, arrogant, dismissive, doesn't listen, and rushes through appointments... Time for a new primary, who may actually BE a primary."
