I see Dr. Bland and have been seeing him for years, following him from one office to another. He is a great physician. He is patient, knowledgeable, and provides very valuable insight and input that I don't get anywhere else, PCP or Specialist. He is also very kind and all of these are the reasons I keep following him even though he keeps moving farther away from where I live.
