I previously commented on Dr. Blok's professional and personable manner. He's very efficient yet not in ways that made me feel rushed or "pushed through." Given the way he and his associates/assistants operate, I am certain Dr. Blok is doing good things to foster team work. Good team work and an excellent patient experience doesn't just happen on its own. Credit also Dr. Blok's assistants (I've interacted with all three yet I am so troubled I am not remembering their names--maybe Madi, Jacob and ?) as they are good team members who work hard. I am very favorably impressed by this team. I am also very grateful. This practice and indeed my past experiences with others in the Corewell Health system have made a positive difference in my life. That's sometime I am truly grateful for. Thank you again.

It was almost shocking to not just be treated like a senior, whose issues can all be attributed to age, weight, and other things deemed totally within my control (fault).

Dr. Blok is exceptional. He has a great patient focused demeanor. I felt like I was the focus of his attention at the time of both visits and really appreciate the time he invested with me to determine a treatment plan moving forward. His patient focused approach and personal attention to the Dr./patient relationship serves as an example to others. Thank you to Dr. Blok and his support staff. The culture at this location is obvious and should be reinforced. Keep up the great work.

Dr was very kind and understanding. He eased my mind telling me he was going to get me feeling good again in time to golf this summer. It was something I’d given up on. He also had a good sense of humor. I liked that.
