I did a quick search of the implants forum category here and his last name came up in 4 other posts. All positive it seems.

To check them out click on the implants section and just put his last name in the search bar.

I had an implant surgery with Dr. Shawn Blick in Arizona. The doctor you mentioned doesn’t have anywhere near the experience Dr Blick has. Check out his website.
And the center of excellence thing really doesn’t mean anything. It’s kind of like a pretty label. Dr. Shawn Blick also studied at Johns Hopkins University.

I agree, go with Dr Blick. He also has good out of pocket options if insurnace is an issue.

I had a great result with Dr Avila at Ironwood Urology, but I'd have no problem using Dr Blick. I don't know much about Blick other than what some have said here.
