When meeting with Dr Blash, for the first time, eased my mind about my ongoing care. Dr Tillmon was my primary care physician for years. I’m pleased that Dr Blash took her time asking me questions and then listening to my answers. She was matter-or-fact type of doctor that led me to immediately trust and believe that she a good fit for me going forward.
