All office and hospital patients are personally seen by Dr Blokh. Chemotherapy is given in the state of the art Park Slope Medicine, which is an ambulatory care facility affiliated with Methodist Hospital. Dedicated and compassionate chemotherapy nurses help patients get through their treatments. Dr Blokh grew up in the Bayview Houses of Canarsie.
He is proud to have attended NYC public schools. He attended Brooklyn College where he earned his BA in Political Science and received the Anna Berkowitz Memorial Award from the Political Science Chairman. He considered a career in law or government but ultimately chose medicine as his calling and attended SUNY Downstate in Brooklyn.
