Dr. Blanken and his staff are very pleasant. I recently underwent surgery to correct my second toe and I am very pleased with the results. The healing process took about 6 — 8 weeks and I was back in my regular shoes in no time! Currently, I am 90 days post-op, with minimal scarring. In fact, you would have to look very closely to even notice anything. Unlike most doctors, he doesn’t just perform the surgery, send you on your way with post-op instructions, and tell you to have a nice day. He consistently monitors you throughout the entire healing process to ensure that there are no complications. You couldn’t ask for a better physician… highly recommend!!!

Dr. Blanken was great. My doctor referred me to him due to an unusual growth. He made sure that I had all the needed test. When the surgery took place he had explained everything and the procedure went off without a hitch. He has continued to show real care even through the post surgery. If you need foot care, he is capable and caring.

Dr. Blanken and is staff are terrific! I am always able to get a timely appointment and they are always on time and friendly! I have been a patient of Dr. Blanken for more than 10 years. When I went for my first appointment I was in so much pain I could barely walk, but with his treatment and advice I am pain free. I recommend him all the time and would never go anywhere else.

Dr Blanken performed an unnecessary procedure on three of my toes and told me the healing time was two weeks. I was in a boot for 6 months. He is conveniently a very friendly physician but his skills as a physician are poor and his business is run unethically.

I came to Dr. Blanken for a badly in-grown toenail and I have been very pleased with the experience from start to finish. First, the receptionist did extra research to determine what my insurance covered prior to my initial visit. I was treated with respect and kindness throughout. The surgery was done well with no complications. What was covered by insurance was clear throughout. The office is compact and informal so there is a lot of discussion among nurses and the doctor. I found this homey, but I can see that some might view it poorly. What was most important for me though was the courtesy and professionalism. I recommend Dr. Blanken highly.

Overall good experiences dealing with foot problems. First surgery was late 90s for severe heel pain… all good for the past 15 years or so. I lived in another state for many years and just returned. Had bunyon surgery before Christmas… All good. Decided to go back to Dr Blanken after my Family Doctor referred me to another Foot Doctor(and did not want to wait months for an open surgery date… did it right before Christmas and was off my feet during the holiday). Dr Blanken’s Office is easy to work with(had some insurance billing issues that were resolved quickly). Both surgeries went smoothly and I feel good.

THEWORSTDOCTOREXPERIENCESEVER! I will not be going back — and tell people not to go. The staff was not professional and have and GAVE attitudes to customers. They were 1.5 behing schedule and during rush hour that means a lot. The doctor does not close the door when he is with a customer. He yells out the door to the nurse. He was disrespectful in playing a guessing game about my Ethinicty. You can hear through the walls. Everything about this place was terrible. I do not understand how he is still in buiness.
