This review is on Dr Bloom affiliated with IRMC. Look elsewhere on your search for a Primary Care Physician. Yikes these reviews are awful you might want to look for another hospital too?

This doctor orders unnecessary testing and doesn't tell you what she's ordering. She ordered a lipid panel and it wasn't my physical so I was charged for it. My insurance company that I spoke to notified me if it was done during my preventive exam it would have been $0 as well as the co pay. She also ordered HIV testing without saying anything to me. She asked if I've been tested before and I said yes and it was negative and she said okay. She never said she'd be ordering it. No counseling on what HIV is or what it could mean if it came back positive because she never said it was being done! I have yet to receive a call with lab results or in the mail after canceling my follow up appointment. When canceling the receptionist said I meaning me would be calling back to reschedule my appointment it was not offered to make a new one when canceling. It has been eight days since I've canceled and I won't be rescheduling. Since I canceled I expected my results snail mail since they should be verified by a doctor to the patient even if I received them and a bill already from Quest. The Medical Assistant was nice enough and she washed her hands right after doing vitals during flu season which caught my eye. I also never received a call for a referral for help with getting me in with an out of net work specialist. If she did a thorough history and spoke to me in more detail and wanted to learn about me she would have realized how much more important this specialist was. I'd steer clear of this office she seems out to make a quick buck and get you in and out. Skimmed through my medical history faster than a Kenyon running a Marathon she didn't even learn anything she didn't care to. Good thing she got those records she'll never need.
