Blum Theodore J MD 5 School Street, Bethel, CT 06801

"Was my doctor for a little while and I went in for a physical for work insurance. During the visit he questioned if anything else was going on and I had a sore ankle so I mentioned it. He quickly looked at it and dismissed it as nothing. Well I received a bill for the visit and questioned it because an annual check up is suppose to be free with the insurance. “Well since you mentioned the ankle it now turns into a different appointment so we have to charge you for it” That’s what I was told and I was shocked. Was the most scumbag thing I’ve ever seen come from a doctor. 3 years later I get a notice I can’t come back hahaha. This guy and his office are nothing but con artists."

"I am very disappointed with Dr. Blum. He has been our family doctor for nearly 20 years and recently, my father developed cancer in his lungs and his leg. Throughout the frequent visits my father made with Dr. Blum, he claimed that my father’s frequent coughing and pain in his leg was just “allergies” and IT band syndrome. He did not tell us to get someone else to check things out until months later. If we didn’t get a second opinion, I’m not sure what would’ve happened."

"Amazing Dr! Extreamly knowledgeable, patient, and Really takes his time with each and every patient he sees. He shows empathy to unwell patients, and checks in often. If there is something that you don't completely understand, he will take as much time as is needed to explain whatever it is to you. His staff is Amazing as well! Everyonr is Super friendly, and knows you by name. Messages get sent immediately, and nothing is ever brushed to the side.. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!"

"Dr. Blum has been my primary for 25 years. He is a provider who listens, encourages and offers empathy, not just sympathy. When faced with making difficult health decisions, he thoughtfully guided me and educated me. When I came down with COVID-19, he called weekly to check-iin on me and to make sure I had what I needed to recover and to heal. I am grateful to have him in my life."

"Went in for a insurance physical which is completely covered by my insurance. During the physical I was asked if anything was wrong or anything bothered me. Thinking is is a routine part of the physical I mentioned an ankle pain. He examined it. For 2 minutes no xray and I end up with a 130 dollar bill. The secretary tried to blame my insurance but at no point was it made clear that this would now turn into an office visit and be charged accordingly. I would of never gone to the doctor for my ankle outside of this. I feel like i was scammed to get more money out of it. Beware when you go to them. They will not mention this. I will be finding a new doctor as well."
