Steven Blazar Md's Online Review Report Card

Dr Blazar has preformed 2 back surgeries on my lumbar spine. He has been treating my issues for over 15 years He is a no nonsense straight forward doctor who I trust. My career has been dependent on his great work, I am a nurse. Without his care I would not be able to continue working.

He is only nice to a certain type of people, other people not so much. I asked him why I had the issues I do. He told me That I was deformed and ask God Another time, I ask for a MRI for another reason. He said why so we can find more problems.

Update from my previous review; date of service was May 2021. The visit was for fluid removal of my knee. I’m still in pain, the knee continues to feel unsteady even with bracing and a cane. I’m wondering if my future knee replacement will work out with the permanent damage-8 months of this misery. He’s a doctor who doesn’t spend enough time or care with patients. He doesn’t deserve even 1 star.

Imho... He was just too busy for me when a I saw him in 2007. He seemed very short tempered towards me...rude and condescending. He seemed to be in a hurry and only spent a couple minutes at most and told me there was nothing he could do for me after multiple radiology studies on my last appointment with him...Said maybe I needed to see a neurologist...Nerve conduction study at the neurologist showed ridiculopathy right leg. I ended up moving from the area do to a career change in my family. Long story short I had 6 back surgeries and was later diagnosed with stage 4 Lyme disease and still in agony daily.

I've never had any type of surgery before so when I decided to move forward with L5-S1 discectomy I was a little nervous. Dr. Blazar made sure I understood my condition, the procedure and recovery completely. Six weeks post surgery I am pain free and resumed normal every day activities with no issues. Thanks again.

Instant pain relief. I must say after 11 weeks of constant pain and no sleep this was the right surgeon for me Dr. Blazar was straight to the point no pun intended and a pleasure to speak with I’m only 3 weeks out of surgery and fully recovered with very minimal scaring.This man is one of the easiest professionals in the field I’ve ever dealt with.Thank you Mr, Steven L.Blazer

I saw him in May 2021 for fluid removal on my knee. The knee was swollen and painful; he was very rough and angry. He forced my knee down, the pain was horrible. The doctor knew I was in pain; he didn’t care. With the pain after; I had to use a walker for 30 days. He’s not someone that cares about people: bad experience.

I would recommend family members and friends to dr. BLAZAR. HE HAS been my dr. For over 20 yrs. He treated my knee, spinal surgery on my neck and treated my lower back just recently. Always made me feel great. Answer all my questions . He's the bests .Thank you Dr.Blazar for everything you done for me. You're truly a blessing.

I have been a patient of Dr Blazar for the past 9 years,he is absolutely one of the finest and brilliant spine surgeon in RI.He is very knowledgeable,thorough,brilliant,professional and just spot on with his medical opinion/treatment and management.He was able to fix a HUGE mess other Doctor caused to my back,if not for him I don’t know what my situation would be right now.Dr Blazar has a great bed side manner,answers every questions/ concerns clearly and takes his time explaining.He is patient-first, he LISTENS to his patient, and makes you feel confident that you are in a good hands and less anxious.He tries all methods of pain relief before suggesting surgery and does not put his patient through unnecessary tests/procedures. Besides being an excellent surgeon and a caring physician,Dr Blazar is a fine human being, compassionate and treats his patient with utmost respect.I would highly recommend him and I can’t thank him enough for the good care he’s done for me throughout the years

I had an appt w/Dr Blazar for the first time in four years. He treated my problem at that time and I never needed further treatment. After reading some of these reviews I thought, he must have chg’d over the years. I was happy to see that he hadn’t chg’d at all. He was so kind, professional and as patient with me as he was four yrs ago. I would definately recommend Dr Blazar.
