Laura Blakely's Online Review Report Card

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 ...

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 have just submitted a letter to all of the Tri Star Health upper brass as well as the Tennessee Medical board about the horrible care that my mother in law received from a very rude, self centered, and uncaring Dr. Blakely. That is being kind. I never expected Dr. Blakely to cure my mother in laws cancer, but I did expect some good options for a comfortable rest of her life, I expected some mutual respect during visits, and I expected a Dr. that didn’t look at her watch, and visibly show signs that she was not interested in us. I felt like we were wasting her time each visit by her body language and she upset my poor dying mother in law very much. I would never subject anyone to this kind of lack of care.

Dr. Blakely does not care about her patients one single bit. It's all about the money. Making sure to cover her own behind instead of actual patient care. When I started at TN oncology I had the amazing fortune of having Dr. Raefsky. Scheduling has been a massive joke which the lab girls always choose to yell at me like it's my fault the scheduler screwed up AGAIN. There is absolutely Zero reason for a patient to be put in a position where they hear nursing staff degrading other patients. This happened 3 times in the last two years. I should not hear people talking ugly about patients while I'm in a patient room feet away from the nurses station. Once would have been bad enough but 3 times with 3 different nurses is absolutely appalling. To be told out right that will not take any measures at all to keep a patient comfortable simply because the doctor doesn't want to get in trouble for actual patient care

I have been seeing Dr Blakely for the past year due to having breast cancer. She is knowledgeable, makes sure you understand what is going on and what the plan is to help you. She takes her time to talk to you, see how your feeling and genuinely cares about her patients. I truly love this doctor and thank God for her. I am now free of cancer.

Great a finding multiple treatments. Concerned friendly , Good explanation of progress

I have been so fortunate to be under the care of Dr. Blakely.

Dr. Blakely takes the time to thoroughly go over every detail and really talk to us and listen to our questions. She is very compassionate.

My wife was diagnosed with stage 4 Multiple Myeloma 6 years ago. She was in a wheelchair and extreme pain when she first saw Dr. Blakely. We got an appointment to see her within 4 days of being contacted by her primary care physician. As we later learned she came in on her day off. Dr. Blakely, and her staff, has been with us every step of this ordeal. She is compassionate, understanding, and takes the time to answer all our question every time we have had them.
