Johnetta Blakely's Online Review Report Card

I have had a few really good doctors in my life. Two of them, with Dr. Blakely at the top of the list, have been beyond fabulous! She is not only a terrific doctor, but also a marvelous person. I had been through chemo twice for two different cancer/leukemias when I moved to Tennessee. When my CLL resurfaced, she was reassuring, compassionate and kind and her treatment has gotten me to a really good place with that disease. I would take up way too much space detailing the incredible caring of this wonderful doctor.

I understand that having cancer can be a highly charged emotional situation, so I guess some negative reviews would not be unexpected. I've had 3 different types of cancer/leukemias and been through surgeries, radiation and chemo 3 different times. I've had some really good doctors in my life, two of them fabulous, and Dr. Blakely is at the top of the list. When I moved to Tennessee from Illinois, my CLL resurfaced. My wife did some research, and suggested I go to Dr. Blakely. What a blessing she has been! She walked into my first appointment asking relevant questions because she had read the information I had spent 30 minutes writing down. Of the dozens of doctors I have seen in my lifetime, I have only had two other doctors do that. I was nervous about the prospect of going through chemotherapy a third time. Dr. Blakely said she would take care of me like she would her own dad. And she's done just that! There hardly seem to be enough superlatives to describe Dr. Blakely, but caring, compassionate, patient, reassuring and kind would be a good start. I have also, always found her entire support staff, nurses and office personnel, to be gracious and helpful.

Dr Blakely is a great doctor. She answered all my questions and made sure I understood everything. She is very thorough too. I would recommend her to my family.

Dr Blakely treated my mother for breast cancer. She was the sweetest doctor that always took time to talk to my mom, listen to questions/concerns and always was honest with her. I appreciated everything she did for my mom and how she treated my mom. She was like a member of the family!

This woman is focused on being noticed and she is very deceptive when it comes to telling the patient the truth about their cancer diagnosis. She kept telling my husband he "might" be able to do into a clinical trail for his lung cancer and after getting our hopes up says his cancer just wasn't the right kind for the trial. Even when he was in the hospital on his last days she still did not tell ...

This woman is focused on being noticed and she is very deceptive when it comes to telling the patient the truth about their cancer diagnosis. She kept telling my husband he "might" be able to do into a clinical trail for his lung cancer and after getting our hopes up says his cancer just wasn't the right kind for the trial. Even when he was in the hospital on his last days she still did not tell us any details about his PET scans or any of the tests he went through. She is the worst excuse for a doctor I've even seen. My husband died after 2 1/2 months of being diagnosed and she NEVER came clean with us about the seriousness of his cancer. Stay away from this one!

Personally, my first encounter with Dr. Blakely was not only informing, but enlightening. I thought that her staff members were knowledgeable and very friendly. They helped me feel relaxed considering the circumstances. When Dr. Blakely entered the room I was in, she explained everything in "lay" terms. When she described my condition, she explained every how, where, when. and why in a way that we could easily understand what was being said. I would, from my personal experience, highly recommend Dr. Blakely and her staff.

She is amazing, very upbeat and positive.

I’m extremely happy with Dr Blakely. She cares, she took all the time needed to address our questions and fears. I feel confident in her knowledge and abilities.
