    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.
