Patient Reviews
Feb 01, 2020
Dr. Block has treated me for serious autoimmune disease for more than 20 years. He is the best doctor I’ve ever had. Dr. Block is an “old school” doctor, meaning he is polite and professional and very focused on your care and condition; he asks many questions about how you’ve been since he last saw you and is very thorough. I can see how someone might interpret him as distant, however he is (again) old school and somewhat formal. I feel strongly that with Dr. Block, I truly have the best care possible for my disease because for many years he has gone the extra mile for me to identify and treat this serious disease, and although he has been practicing medicine for 45 years, he stays current with research and treatment practices. He is extremely caring, a little fatherly, and he is 120% committed to providing his patients with the best care possible, even though we are in a small town. My quality of life is as good as it is thanks to Dr. Sidney Block.
