The staff and Dr. Blackwood were organized, professional, and well prepared. Dr. Blackwood is knowledgeable and communicates in a direct, clear, and reassuring manner. A friend of mine had both knees replaced here, and their positive experience gave me additional confidence in choosing this practice.

He seemed in a hurry and gave me a well rehearsed spiel that sounded rote for every surgery patient.

Pre-op appts were great, to the point, and questions were answered. Surgery was so smooth and uneventful. Post op— I was anticipating pain but never had any that even came close to what I had anticipated. The aches were well managed with extremely little narcotic pain meds. Highly recommend Dr. Blackwood for total knee replacement surgery! Thank you!
