Dr. Sonja Blum

I am pleased to write an unqualified endorsement of Sonja Blum, MD, PhD on behalf of my mother and family. Reviews like this can be difficult because often we want to preserve our privacy, or our interactions with the doctors we review are limited to specific appointment times. This one is different, at least in the sense that my family and I had occasion to work with Dr. Blum over the course of several years as our mother's trusted neurologist. My family's interaction with Dr. Blum was in connection with our mother's neurodegenerative illness, which played out unpredictably over many years, obliging our mother and ourselves to confront new treatment scenarios on a progressive basis. As engaged as we, her family, her home health aides, her therapy teams, social workers, nurses, and medical teams were, it was an enormous help to us to benefit from Dr. Blum's knowledge, expertise, and insights. Without her support across the range of issues confronting our mother, I am not sure how we would have managed. On several occasions, she saved our mother from unnecessary workups and dangerous medication errors whenever we met a new medical team unfamiliar with our mother's disease or patient history. Thanks to Dr. Blum's significant clinical experience and knowledge of the latest scientific findings, she also solved several diagnostic and clinical problems that befuddled other neurologists. In addition, she collaborated closely with other experts to ensure that we left no stone unturned in our effort to help our mother. Dr. Blum made our mother's goals and well-being her priority, and time and again, she showed that she listens carefully to the patient and family. Dr. Blum's wise counsel and trusted support over the years enabled our mother to remain as vital, independent, and intellectually active as time would allow. Our mother and family valued the relationship tremendously and have complete faith in her judgment. Dr. Blum's help also kept us on track to provide the best care possible, especially in ensuring our mother's care at home, where she wanted to be, as much as possible. We are indebted to Dr. Blum's thoughtful and caring professionalism. We consider ourselves fortunate to have benefited from her outstanding clinical and scientific knowledge, genuine empathy, teamwork, and dedicated service. Our mother and family recommend her enthusiastically and without reservation. I am pleased to write an unqualified endorsement of Sonja Blum, MD, PhD on behalf of my mother and family.

Simply The Best! Dr. Blum is super knowledgable. Everything she recommends always works out well for me. I really appreciate having a Doctor like her, she listens and explains things throughly. I suffered from a concussion accident and nobody, I mean not even the ER where I was first brought in to, knew what my problem was, they didn't even scan me! I went to several doctors and ER rooms thereafter and even though I explained a million times that I had hit my head badly no one knew what to do or what was wrong, and this is New York City! Finally I somehow stumble upon the NYU concussion center, I called them and right away I spoke to a nurse who understood me and better yet she put me in touch with Dr Blum who literally saved me, she made a program for my needs and knew exactly what was wrong, within a few weeks I improved and within months I recovered completely.
