I have been his patient for 3 yrs. Ever since he brought Susan (Won't use last name) into his office pretending to be a nurse, & also hiring Susan's daug-in-law, also masquarading as CERTIFIED MEDICAL persons (without ANY SCHOOLING), his office has gone down hill. The DEA has been investigating him for several years and its ongoing as of today. Susan is a fraud and is taking the doctor down with her. Even in his own words "she is delusional" but the relationship goes deeper than just taking over his medical office as well as his furniture business. I rec'd a letter in the mail yesterday "firing" me as a patient after she called my phone because he told me to make an appt to see him. She has ran off his staff, his patients, & friends. One day she even tried to take blood from me and I refused (no medical experience). The doctor then came in, took it from my groin area & the TABLE BROKE that I was laying on, only to find out the sample HAD NEVER BEEN SENT TO LAB, As well as sev other pts

Dr. Blaum has been treating me for quite some time, I had a duodenal switch bypass weightloss surgery in wich a main artery was cut and had to be repaire by surgeons . a surgeon from peoria Illinois has done the surgery. I had lost 370 lbs and feel great except for the rest of my life i will be in pain and i get sick, on top of that i have severe anxiety, need knee replacement in both knees and have a swollen disk from all the wait i carried around for years.So i went to Dr. Blaum for pain management years ago and now hes my family Doctor. he controls the pain so i can live a normal everyday life but manages the meds closely with urin test to make sure you take meds appropriately, he also has my potassium back to normal and several other problems that no other doctor could seem to do.He watches my bloodwork weekly to make sure my body doesnt get deficient in anything. He takes his time and researches to find best treatment for me . Hes the best Dr i ever had and reccomend him to anyone

I take back all that I said.He guessed at my illness,used me as a test subject.When I went in he was very agreeable to what we discussed & in his reports it was all different.My problems stemmed from a car accident & with major neurological damage to my neck and shoulders,and ribs,he missed a lot of symptoms of what was really wrong.Seems the nerves to my ribs are damaged & I can't breath right.Hence CPAP.I lost 35# under his care,got sicker not better,muscle loss,and an obscure dx & the final straw was being put on antidepressants which had bad effects on me like all the others tried.Basically he dumped me when the drug made me hostile,angry & near crazy.Now his ex-employer's (Pain Center)is trying to make me pay what the insurance Co.should.They won't send an itemized bill stating the dates,charges or return calls.I trusted this man for a long time,and I am still in the same condition,having to see another Dr who will likely send me to a reputable pain specialist.Not one who guesses.
