I got the impression the doctor had just passed me by while he was going about his business. He quickly glanced at one of my X-rays, made a diagnosis, referred me to physical therapy, and recommended anti-inflammatory medication. I tried to ask him questions, but he had already left.

In a portal message Dr Blackwood insinuated that I was shopping for narcotics. That is an unbelievable response to a patient that was in the ER days before with stabbing pains in my left hip area. As patient of Dr Blackwood i only want to manage my pain. I plan on following his recommendation and get the joint injection and follow up with PT at your clinic. However, I have never been so insulted in my life.
