"Dr Blanco is genuinely concerned about patients. I've been losing weight with Monjaro. Each time she sees me she yells with excitement on how much I lost. Even will hug me. Not all doctors are like that. She never rushes me out. Spends time with me. She's great. I moved to another state. Don't know how I'll ever find another Dr so good and caring."

"Dr Blanco is the best physician for me that I have seen since Dr Fadil retired. She is clear, communicative, informed, and so caring! I truly feel safe and attended to by her, with such an open relationship of communication and undertanding that I can say, without hesitation, she is my doctor, I adore her."
