I appreciate the doctor very much as she helped adjust my medications so that my sons wedding on Saturday was uneventful as far as me having uncontrolled body movements. Everything went well, and we all had a great time at the wedding; I actually felt very good. I would never wish how I felt e week ago on anyone. I'm very grateful for my virtual visit with the doctor. Please thank her for me!

Dr. Blindauer met my husband and daughter after a LONG time of my not wanting them to join me. She handled the situation very politely and invited them to share observations, concerns, and ask their questions and she responded very politely and thoroughly. She asked me numerous questions about the issues I had reported and if I agreed with what my family said. She followed up with everything I had mentioned and ordered a test and made a referral, explained why she was doing that, and again invited us to ask questions if we had any. I thought I thought the appointment went very well, I was satisfied at the end of it, and it ended in a timely manner.
Dr Blindauer answered all of my questions. She made me feel very comfortable with the surgical procedure option I chose. She was very knowledgeable about all of the devices that are available. Thank you, Dr Blindauer for taking the time to explain everything to me.
