The appointment was scheduled faster than I had imagined. The doctor interacted with me rather than just sprouting medical jargon.

Dr. Block is great.
Providence Patient
DR. BLOCK is always concern about my total health and not just his special area of expertise. Gave a referral to help with my ongoing weight problem and was interested in my general health not just his area of expertise.
Providence Patient
We discussed the blood test. We discussed the trends and they were going in the right direction, but to make sure he scheduled an appointment & test.
