Terrific Doctor
Competent and professional . Answered all my questions and gave me a feeling of security in my recovery.
A visit marked by both kindness and efficiency
Informative, patient, kind
Very knowledgeable and reassuring. I am happy with my decision to have Dr Blackwood assist me with this procedure. Looking forward to a chapter without pain.
He obviously didn’t read the MRI report that I provided. Didn’t inquire about any symptoms or areas of pain. He seemed distracted and rushed. I felt completely ignored and pushed aside.
Explained the procedure clearly and answered my questions.
Needs to slow down for older patients
You are so kindness,nalejabel,your people are good work👏👏🥰🥰🥰🙏🙏🌷🌷
Dr Blackwood replaced my right knee in February 2026. I have been very pleased with his expertise but had some concerns about some nagging symptoms. I met with him today, x-rays were taken, he examined my knee and its mobility and assured me that the soft tissue is still healing. He suggested increasing my dosage of ibuprofen to alleviate pain and swelling. Makes sense! Thanks
