"I have already recommended her"
"I would highly recommend Dr Blanco"
"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."
"The best place to be when you have questions about your health"
