Care that’s as thoughtful as it is technical.

A skilled surgeon can fix a problem. A great one makes sure you understand what happened, why it happened, and what to do next — so you leave the office feeling informed rather than overwhelmed.

Second opinions welcome Dr. Blader encourages patients to bring questions and outside records — your understanding matters as much as the treatment plan.
Minimally invasive by default When a procedure can be done through tiny incisions instead of a large one, that's the path Dr. Blader chooses — for faster healing and less discomfort.
Transplant expertise, general availability Even if you're not a transplant candidate, the same surgical precision and attention to detail applies to every procedure in his practice.
Continuity of care From your first consultation through surgery and recovery, you'll work directly with Dr. Blader — not a rotating cast of providers.
