Excellent experience with Dr. Blum and his staff so far. Had a long wait time for the first visit as a new patient, but appreciated that Dr. Blum apologized for the wait, acknowledged it and then proceeded to spend adequate time with me to understand my health history and to try to figure out my medical concerns. Also appreciate how well he coordinated with other doctors to deliver quality care. I definitely recommend him especially if you want a physician who is going to really work to understand your health history, risk factors and help diagnose you appropriately.

Dr. Blum is always difficult to get in but oh my goodness is he worth the wait. His office team is very customer friendly and engaging - they will do their best to get you in as soon as possible. Every visit I have had with Dr. Blum is 45+ minutes of time with just him. He listens well. Doesn't diagnose until he has heard everything. And then does a great job explaining - often with visual aids. I would never go anywhere else.

Because my MS was not responding to the treatment prescribed by my doctor, she recommended Dr. Blum as a neurologist who has knowledge of all therapies. I'm so grateful that she did! I was discouraged when I arrived but highly optimistic when I left. Dr. Blum made a new plan of treatment for me and assured me that he would be ready to change treatments if needed. His confidence in his team is contagious. I left feeling sure that my quality of life will be improved.

Dr. Blum has been caring for my dad with MS for many, many years. He has become extremely appreciated and revered within my family and my dad trusts him very much. My dad is a complicated patient and Dr. Blum has been available to us on many occasions and helped our family in a way that reaches beyond the expectations of just a physician.

Blum is a substandard doctor and should be removed from any further service and care of future patients. After telling him all of my medical history for several years he actually said to me ‘you are understand a lot of stress and need to see another specialist, I reply to him that every person live their lives with some stress and in a very arrogant way he say " I dont" He is incomprehensible professionally and does not uphold the ethical standards of the Oath that he took. He was beyond rude and his bedside manner was horrific.

I saw Dr Blum for the first time today and was very impressed with his demeanor and knowledge. He asked me many questions, listened attentively, took detailed notes and shared a wealth of information with me. I had to wait several weeks for this appointment, but it was well worth the wait to get to meet with someone who is both kind and knowledgeable. Although I had to wait for a bit in the exam room, it was clear that Dr. Blum’s Staff was extremely efficient, and the reason for my wait was because Dr. Blum takes the time to listen to each patient thoroughly.

I have seen hi for years reluctantly. He spends about 5 minutes with you. One time he ever came in and i only saw his PA. I didn’t make an appointment with the PA. Please don’t expect him to help you if you leave him a message on the portal. All he cares about is the money and collecting your deductible and billing the insurance. He does not care about the patient.

He has even recommended I see a different neurologist because he doesn’t know what to do. I will not be going back.

I first started seeing Dr Blum in Pasadena Tx in 1999-2000 and did so for years. My last visit with him I cried due to being in so much pain, he open the door and yelled to his office staff "get her a appointment with pain management"He literally threw his hands up and walked out and left me sitting there! I was shocked how rude and uncaring he was that day! Because he had always been so kind to me. He did not try to get to the root of my pain but instead got rid of me. He did had to have been having a very bad day because like I said, he had always been a kind, caring Dr prior to that day. Of course I never saw him again. He could be controlling his outburst of frustrating with patients now. It's been many years since I've seen him

Horrible. Very condescending in every respect. When my wife, who is epileptic, mentioned she uses Vimpat, he remarked, "That's expensive, and you're poor." Poor, really? How could he say such a thing when so many people are out of work due to COVID-19? After he realized he crossed a line that shouldn't have been crossed, he tried to dismiss his comment as a "joke." Sorry, nice try. Both my wife and I found his bedside manner not becoming of a doctor. We're not stupid, and know a good doctor from a bad doctor, and Blum is a not worth a potential patient's time nor energy.

I just called to make an appointment with this doctor. I stressed to a Beverly that I need to see a neurologist as soon as possible but the earliest date February 27 I agreed but before the appointment could be made this Beverly refused to set it up until I go online to do new patients paperwork I explained to her I do not have access to do that right now but I can come in early On the day of the appointment to fill them out she refused. What kinda doctor would allow this. How does this make sense? There’s absolutely no sense in what she conveyed.

Dr. Philip Blum is an amazing DOCTOR!! If it wasn’t for him being proactive in my care as a favor for another Dr. I wouldn’t be alive today. A few weeks later, I saw him a fell in love with his bedside manners and how knowledgeable he is. He placed me on some medication that has been keeping me stable as of yet. Unfortunately, he does not treat what I have a found me a Dr. that is. I’m still a little bit in limbo until I get established and He has agreed to see me again to keep me “safe” and out of danger. He’s extremely caring, insightful, he takes his time and is willing to hear you out. He speaks honestly and communicates professionally about your Illness, regardless, if it’s something he doesn’t treat but is knowledgeable about. He’s a great listener and makes you feel valued. I actually begged him to be my doctor and he pleaded with me saying; “That I deserve the best Dr. that is knowledgeable about all of my illnesses not just one; you deserve that for you.!” “ And I want that for you”! I was sad...but like I said, He saw me today and I am very grateful for that. I hope this helps anyone looking for a doctor.. he is amazing! Dr. Philip Blum is an amazing DOCTOR!!

Dr. Blum is a fantastic doctor. He is very straightforward but really cared about helping me figure out what was wrong with me. After he reviewed my medical history, he was able to diagnose me and although he does not treat it, he referred me to a specialist he feels is very knowledgeable with my diagnosis. What really stood out to me the most is that he cared about me finding treatment for my diagnosis since I have been suffering for many years and he was upset that other doctors ive seen over the years didn't realize what I actually had. He is super knowledgeable in his field and you could not go wrong with choosing Dr. Blum as your neuro, although I will say his staff is horrible. They suck at scheduling appointments and treatments properly so always call and confirm your appointment/treatment you're getting done instead of waiting for them. Dr. Blum is a fantastic doctor.

Wow! What a great experience. Dr. Blum’s office is conveniently located off Gessner in one of the memorial Hermann towers. Parking is a breeze and free in the garage, and the suite is easy to find. You are greeted by a very kind and professional staff that gets you checked in and they see you promptly. Dr. Blum has an amazing bedside manner and takes time to listen to what you’re dealing with while making you feel at ease and comfortable. I had a lot of thoughts circling in my head before meeting with him and felt so much better after he broke everything down for me. He’s delightful to be around, clearly a knowledgeable doctor, and he was able to see me within a week of calling for an appointment. He was able to diagnose and test at my first appointment for the symptoms I was complaining about and I feel quite a weight lifted off my shoulders. Would happily recommend after only one appointment. Safe to say I’ve found a great neurologist. Wow! What a great experience.

My 93-year-old mom had a TeleHealth visit today (3-17-2020) with Dr. Blum on the day TeleHealth was approved by President Trump due to the coronavirus. It would have been risky getting her out, so this appointment on my computer was a lifesaver for her. Dr. Blum spent 30 quality minutes with mom addressing her issues. They were resolved with no follow up required. Please consider using TeleHealth with all of your doctors. It’s so simple and convenient. Your doctor can explain how.

After many years, and many doctors, with his experience and listening skills, he was able to determine the neurological problems that had limited the quality of my life for a lifetime.

Dr. Blum and his staff are very good at what they do. I appreciate that he knew that carbamazepine was draing Na and Cl from my system, so he switched me to an alternate medication. My problem is that he has no respect for the patient's time. He made me come out three times instead of one. The wait times are ridiculous. One visit I waited more than an hour after my scheduled appointment and had to reschedule my appointment because I had other commitments. I lost over two & a half hours of my time including the commute. After that I decided that I would not wait more than 60 minutes. He came in the room after 57 minutes. I shut off my phone, but HE TOOK A PERSONAL CALL FROM A FRIEND AND SCHEDULED A DINNER DATE while I waited quietly in front of him. I will never go to that office again.

Why would I want to go to this doctor if the staff can't be respectful? I'm not a dire hard you must gender me properly, but when I correct you, the answer isn't to then avoid pronouns, it's too use the right one.

I would like you to know about my horrible experience with Dr. Phillip Blum, the neurologist that you referred me to. Both his professional skills in performing a EMG, his professional judgment in insisting on an extreme solution before full diagnosis, and his personal behavior were greatly disappointing and caused me a great deal of suffering that may have been avoidable.He seemed to write me off because I would not immediately agree to surgery before other alternates were tried. My new neurologist said the EMG was not usable and would have to be redone. I was referred to Dr. Phillip Blum by another doctor, who thought a pinched nerve might be the cause of my left arm pain. For the previous year, I have had pain in my arm, which started after a high dose of steroids (prescribed for an autoimmune reaction to the flu in Feb 2015). The pain steadily improved over that year from many spasms per day at first to a periodic prickling sensation which could be remedied by a simple chin tuck exercise. In the first visit to Dr. Blum, after 1-2 minutes of poking my arm and fingers, he insisted that spinal surgery was the only option. I repeatedly asked for all possible alternatives before surgery, and he became irritated that I questioned his judgment, and refused to provide any alternatives. The second visit, he performed a nerve conduction test and an EMG. Immediately after the procedures, the pain became constant and excruciating. After 2 weeks of this level of pain, desperately seeking relief, I called Dr. Blum’s nurse, who called me back a week later after talking to Dr. Blum, not with any solutions or comfort but to seemingly only avoid a lawsuit, insisting that the EMG did not cause the increased pain because I had similar symptoms prior to the EMG. After researching the EMG, I learned that Dr. Blum did not do the procedure as commonly described. I had not mentioned that or even hint of a problem with his service. She wanted to refer me to another neurologist. I declined and called someone else I knew of. The soonest I could get an appointment with another doctor was 6 weeks away. The 3rd week after the EMG, the pain improved a little, but the 4th and 5th week it grew worse. I called Dr. Blum’s nurse again then, begging for some options and asking if there was a problem taking a low dose of prednisone that had worked for the pain originally. Instead, (relayed thru the nurse) Dr. Blum doubled down on surgery as the only option, saying he couldn’t prescribe medicine or physical therapy, and stating that I refused all of his recommendations, implying that is why he would not help me: the surgery, referral to another doctor, and an MRI. The MRI, which I planned to do, was never mentioned as a prerequisite to alternate treatments. I would like you to know about my horrible experience with Dr. Phillip Blum, the neurologist that you referred me to.

Doctor Blum is a great resource and physician handling some very difficult cases. I know, I am one of them. He worked me through several treatment protocols in the last 3 years. He is patient, and works to evaluate the difficult diagnosis and best treatments. Since he is handling difficult diseases, this takes time. His staff is top notch. New Dr's and the expansion of the Neuro group there are overdue. Since he is such a good Doctor, sometimes, getting an appointment takes time.

I went for pain/tingling in my left arm. He insisted spinal surgery was only option after 5 min of poking/wiggling fingers. 2nd visit, performed a EMG (different than typical) that resulted in 4 weeks of extreme pain, It took a week to return 2 urgent calls for help, and then they callously refused to offer any help- pain meds, exercises or even compassion, and couldn't see me for 6 wks. Nurse said he couldn’t help me cuz I "refused" his recommendations for surgery and ref to alt neurologist.

Dr Blum - is fantastic and I'd give him 5 stars. He is extremely informative and is willing to answer questions which is ideal when you aren't used to going to this type of doctor. BUT.... His staff is dreadful. It takes his assistant (Brittney) 4 days to call you back. When you are in pain and need info from the doctor it should NOT take 4 whole days to get a response. And yes, I called and left a message each day and the front desk girls were sending her additional messages over messenger and email. I will never come back to this office, sadly due to the staff and not because of the doctor. Dr Blum - is fantastic and I'd give him 5 stars.

Would strongly not recommend Dr Blum who lacks any respect for his patients or their family members. During our last visit for dementia of our parent, he had the audacity to refer to him as "crazy" multiple times in his presence. Then he stated he needs "antipsychotic medication as you are crazy." Why kind of doctor provides this kind of bedside manner? The amount of time he spent with us was less than 5 minutes and was prescribing drugs as a solution. Do NOT trust this doctor!

Dr Blum sincerely does not care for your well being. His ego prohibits him from spending quality time with the patient to understand their needs and is overall rude and insincere in his bedside manner. To NOT trust him for your healthcare needs.

This doctor is dangerously arrogant and incompetent. I had a sudden onset of nerve issues and blinding, stroke-like head pain. Without any preamble he sat down and told me that I was overweight and was either diabetic or pre-diabetic and had neuropathy and my only course of action was to lose weight. He ordered blood work, nothing else. Said he knew it wasn't a tumor because the avg. life expectancy was 3 mos so I would have been dead already. Blood neg for diabetes. Find another Dr!

I have seen Dr. Blum for a pre-op evaluation and adore him. He is thorough, compassionate, and takes time to explain everything to his patient. I will be scheduling another appointment due to a questionable medical condition which falls under his specialty. I would highly recommend Dr. Blum to anyone.........he is super!

Arrogant, doesn't like being questioned. Inconsiderate to patient's concerns. Avoid this doctor.

I have not had an appointment with Dr. Blum. I would like too. However the process is extremely difficult. I have been calling for 4 days. Each day the operator tells me that Erika will call me back and set me up with an appointment. Four days later, and 5 calls, I still have not heard from Erika and do not have an appointment. I have never in my life had this much difficulty getting an appointment with a doctor. Their operating system definitely needs attention. I'm very frustrated!

THE BEST! I have never left a review for a physician before but Dr. Blum is definitely a standout. I have seen multiple specialists in three different states -- only one of them was any good (now deceased), and now Dr. Blum too. Excellent bedside manner. He asked the right questions, at the right time and in the right way to get the answers he needed. I have total confidence that his treatment protocol will do the trick. After 30 years of suffering I finally found someone to help!

I've never reviewed a doctor before (I'm not even sure I've reviewed a restaurant before), but I felt compelled to after meeting with Dr. Blum. I was recently hospitalized due to some (seemingly) neurological issue. The hospital neurologist was not able to diagnose me, but within minutes after meeting Dr. Blum, he accurately diagnosed me. His thoroughness, calm demeanor, and amazing listening skills are exactly what I want in a doctor. I was so impressed - thank you, Dr. Blum!!

The best doctors visit I have ever experienced. When I arrived I only had to wait around 5 minutes before seeing Dr. Blum. The staff was very friendly and offered me water while I was waiting. Dr. Blum was very friendly as well and actually took the time to explain my condition and the possible treatment options for it in detail. He also addressed all of my questions and concerns.

This is not a negative evaluation of Dr. Blum. Due to the extreme incompetence of his office staff -- particularly his scheduler, Dariella -- I never got to see Dr. Blum. Over three days I called five times to try to confirm insurance coverage, get new patient forms, and schedule an appointment; but no one seemed able to follow through because Dariella was unavailable. When I finally reached her, she said she would e-mail the forms right away. She never did, so I called a different neurologist

Dr. Blum is very knowledgeable. After carefully reviewing my MRI’s and other test results taken in the ER he diagnosed me rather quickly. I am very pleased with the treatment plan that he placed me on and I am glad to say I have found much relief. I would highly recommend him. My only regret is that I find him sooner. His sense of humor is amazing as well. He is by far one of the best doctors I have seen EVER!!! Dr. Blum is very knowledgeable.

I went to Dr. Blum for epilepsy upon recommendations from many other physicians I work with. He was excellent. He was very informative to me about my condition and the many treatments I could seek and explained everything to me. He has a very big thumbs up from me as a paramedic and my wife, who's a nurse.

Dr. Blum is the FIRST Neurologist that I would recommend to ANYONE. He is very personable and made me feel very comfortable at my first meeting with him. He is very understanding and listened carefully to any questions or concerns that I had. He has a vast knowledge of Parkinson's Disease, for which I saw him for. I am looking forward to my next appointment with him.

I felt that he was extremely knowledgeable about my condition. He took the necessary time to answer of all our questions, and we did not feel rushed. Professional yet very caring. I feel that I am in good hands.
