Michael Blackmer, M.D.

Wonderful doctor.

I sincerely appreciate how each member of the staff took time to make me feel comfortable. Dr Blackmer did not rush when I saw him and he explained everything step by step

He is the best. He listens. He gives his reason on treatment. You talk it out together. He is so smart and caring and understand. No other Orth Dr for me!!!!

Outstanding in every way! Had both hips replaced in a two-three month time frame. Dr. Blackmer and The Orthopedic Group could not have done a better job. Thank you for a perfect process during each operation!!! I would recommend his expertise to anyone in need of an Orthopedic Surgeon. Thanks again!!!

He takes time and explains everything. He's very kind. He did an excellent job on my knee with no complications.

I love this group. I gave the doctor and nurse a group hug. This is the future and I love it. Be blessed and I’m so proud that you care for me. 1- love 🙏

Every one is always very courteous. Very knowledgeable about my problem.

Seen Kaleb today. He did a great job going over my upcoming revision to my knee replacement. Melissa was awesome as well!

Nice in taking the time to explain medical problem's from the MRI next step I can feel better

Very impressed with him.

Every person I encountered in this office was completely professional, caring and helpful.

I had a visit with Dr. Blackmet a result of a fall with a knee injury. The staff was professional and friendly as the provided prompt service. Dr Blackmer gave clear and concise information about my injury. He covered the options for my treatment. He allowed me to decide the path forward to recovery

Was very pleasant and explain it really good to me! Really clean office and staff all pleasant

Very easy to talk to and takes as much time as it takes to make you understand! Does not sugar coat any thing.

Dr. Blackmer is a very caring and competent doctor who literally gave me my life back!! I will forever be grateful for him and his team. Thank you 😊

Dr. Blackmer is a very knowledgeable and compassionate professional. I have seen many orthopedic doctors and he is the best that I have ever had. I suggested my mom see him with a needed knee replacement and did a great procedure on her. She likes him a lot too!

Quick and pain free. Hope the meds work.

Dr Blackmer answered my questions in a professional way ( now I went home and wished I’d asked more). I’m considering the knee replacement surgery. I know doctors time is valuable so next time I’ll make a list. My old knee has been through a lot at 77.

Dr. Blackmer and his staff are fantastic!! Caring, listen to your questions and answered them. My surgery went great!

Great Doctor

Dr. Blackmer is very knowledgeable. He takes time to answer ALL of your questions

HE IS THE BEST DOCTOR EVER

I look at Dr. Blackmer as being an expert in the field of orthopedics. I’ve had much success with the right knee he replaced just over a year ago and now I’ve scheduled the surgery for my left knee. I highly recommend him.

Initial visit was a good impression. Looking forward to my follow up visit in a few weeks

He speaks with a smile even tho it’s not so good a diagnosis. Very professional as is His Staff! I was in a lot of pain so honestly I couldn’t complete the forms. And was quite slow. They, Still did not rush me. So I may have missed a detail or two , but they All excelled at their jobs with kindness and consideration. It was proof (to me) that even with so many patients to see -long schedules and different ailments. Dr Blackmer must hand pick his staff! He and Kaleb Coleman seem to gel well together. They are probably some of the most KIND and STELLAR Drs in the South!

Very professional, listens and answers questions.

Outstanding!

Dr. Blackmer is very straightforward and let me know what my outlook was going to be regarding my diagnosis. I like a doctor to be upfront with me!

Dr Blackmer is the best. Took time to explain everything and answered all of our questions. He wasn’t in a rush and we were pleased with the him as our surgeon.

Professional - informative - impressed

I appreciate Dr BlackMer and his staff for the wonderful job they do! I would highly recommend others to go to Dr BlackMer. Very caring and professional at what he does. He cares about his patients! Thank you! Margo Reed

Explained exactly what I should expect before the surgery and after. Very kind and caring, my husband and I both felt relief after the visit. Nurse, Melissa was great, she was so organized and had already made up coming appointments and will take care of setting up aftercare. I feel will be in good hands, and I am so ready to get this done

Dr. Blackmer is the best of the best! He not only is a brilliant surgeon but also a very caring physician! His staff are exceptional!

Very thorough and professional. Takes time to answer all your questions

I could not ask for a more caring, kind and considerate group of people, I truly believe in my heart that that you strive to make your patients feel better, thank you, your patient, Lisa Strickland ❤️

Waiting time, awful 👎👎waited over a hour &half for a 10 minutes talk with doctor

Very pleased with my Robotic Partial knee replacement by Dr. Blackmer. I have had both knees done by him and would recommend him as well as the robotic surgery.

Dr Blackmer did a wonderful job of surgery on my compound fracture of the femer.

Dr Blackmer is my savior. Helped me thru 4 implants. Guided me, informed me...brought back my mobility and health 100 percent. Kind, Knowledge beyond anyone, I believe I could choose!. Thank you Dr. Blackmer for being who you are!!!

Thank you for seeing me on short notice

Best there is

Clear , concise, friendly.

The best ….

Just the best.

By far the best orthopedist ever! And I’ve been to plenty! Not only extremely skilled but incredible bedside manner! He’s done 2 joint replacements on me in the last 5 months and both have gone flawlessly. I’m a physician and we are big babies normally but he controls pain with multiple therapies and it works!!!

The doctor was very good. I give him 5 stars. I was on time. As I’m in the waiting area a lot of people came in after me and were taken back to see the doctors. After 1 hour 10 minutes I walked up to the reception desk. I, with a smile on my face, asked if I was forgotten! I have a hearing disability, so I was afraid I might have missed my name being called. The 2 receptionist were cold and informed me there were more doctors back there. Well I knew that, I just wanted a reasurance that my time would be soon and I wasn’t forgotten. Instead I was met with coldness and hostility. Not very receptive. Their attitude continued upon my checking out. I experienced this same cold treatment before with dealing with the receptionist.

Dr Blackmear and staff are 5++. The best in care. He did total knee replacement with some different issues. I was so impressed from first visit, surgery, and had a super recovery. Recommend highly.

Good dr/surgeon has been my experience.

He listened!!! We talked and "WE" agreed upon a plan.

Thorough

Fixed my issues on the spot

Very through, very patient with you, took the time needed to explain. I highly recommend the staff in this office.

Freedom from pain! Dr. Blackmer is a God-sent, talented man, and I am so thankful I found him to care for my medical needs.

Dr Blackmer is superb. He always makes certain a person understands the process is an empathic communicator. You feel like you are his only patient.

Very professional

Waited 1 hour and 10 mins.. never saw Dr Blackmer. Asked at 45 mins what the wait time was and was told I was next. Person behind the desk did not even know who I was seeing.

Dr. Blackmer explained everything in a manner which I could understand.

Great Doctor very caring.

Great guy, really concerned about my well being.

Both doctors who saw me really did listen to my opinions.

Very easy to talk with, answers questions. Very nice

Great doctor!

Very professional. Good listener.

I have studied every website known to man, about who is the BEST HIP REPLACEMENT ORTHOPEDIC SURGEON in the UNITED STATES. Dr Michael Blackmer’s name kept coming up. I made the call! Best thing I think I ever decided to do. Husband went with me! Plain talk is easily understood. Dr Blackmer explained my ball and joint is dead (me? With dead body parts!??) and that I need hip replacement surgery, And this awful burning pain WILL GO AWAY!!! I have been hurting since July 2022, and it’s really gotten worse during the past 6 wks. Dr. Blackmer made this situation look easy as putting a car in the body shop to me! He will remove parts that went out, and he is putting a new hip in place!!! Thank God I know I adore Dr Blackmer’s plain talk! And I have to stop smoking but that’s ok! It’s not popular to smoke nowdays! Looking for the new “me”!!! Thank God for Dr Blackmer!!! I was scared until I talked to him! They will prep me with vitamins and antibiotics!! Can’t wait to dance!! I w

Very professional and honest.

Excellent Doctor will recommend others to him!

Very talented surgeon...I owe him for saving my knee

PT did not call to schedule appointments

Mikey is a hell of a good doc. Good fisherman too.

Dr Blackmer made us feel confident in his ability and knowledge to take care of my husband's medical issues. Just as an aside, you are much more personable and approachable, than that picture above, indicates.😃

Dr. Himself was wonderful. However I waited almost 2 hours in intense pain after being sent from urgent care to be seen. Apparently my chart was lost and they kept bumping people in front of me. I also had to call the next day because the prescription for pain meds was never sent in.

Very knowledgeable,professional and personable.

I really liked my visit thought I was going to need a hip replacement but He said I didn’t need one only a shot felt great the next day

Spent time to explain options and analysis for any future decisions

Excellent. Thoroughly enjoyed his process.

Consult was very informative. I was able to understand the surgical implications and treatment. Dr Blackmer was very nice.

He asks questions and listens. He explains what is happening and has a nice professional personality.

Very professional.

He is kund and sweet, and talks to me where I can understand, tells me what I need to know and answer all questions

Dr Blackmer was very concerned about my problems and pain. He understood how I felt and took care of my problems.

He’s east to talk to and is really trying to find a solution to my complex hip issues.

Superdoodle Doctordoodle.

Outstanding! I was in great pain and they worked me in to today's schedule. The staff was great, especially the gentlemen who gave me my shot.

Feel like he is knowledgeable and caring.

Very polite and had excellent bedside manner.

Very encouraging....gives hope to being semi-normal again!!

Receptionist was rude. Dr. Blackmer appeared rushed and I did not feel at all that he listened or addressed my concerns. He Stood by the door most of the appointment. I have a very extensive injury and have been dealing with it 3 months and today was not a reassuring or supportive visit. He gave me thd impression I was wasting his time. So sad.

Great Doc

Highly qualified physician who is also a fine, caring person.

Very helpful and Set our minds at easy

As impressive in person as his reputation!

I saw Dr Blackmer today, I was looking for an option on my condition. He explained things to me in a way that I understood. He was caring and listened carefully to me as I explained my pain and weakness. I would definitely recommend him to anyone.

Patient, kind, supremely intelligent, I’d recommend him to anyone!

Dr. Blackmer is the best of the best! He is not only a gifted surgeon who is kind and compassionate. He is one of those rare great human beings!

My initial visit. Both Dr. Blackmer and his PA were friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. Very happy with the entire experience.

Felt like he was doing everything he could to help me. I have confidence in him.

He listened carefully and was thoughtful in our discussion of my medical issue. I really appreciate conservative approach to my problem. I am delighted to have him as my orthopedist.

I found him very interested in my case, he asked me lots of questions & he decided at this point l just need to let it rest for 2 weeks then come back if needed.

He was very professional !! I trusted that he wanted what was best for me.

Very good and straight forward.

Very informative. The steroid shot is already helping wit the pain!

He gave me confidence that I will be alright. I am glad he will look after me.

I Waited over an hour in the waiting room and I had to leave. It’s inconsiderate to make an appointment and not stick to it or have a receptionist inform patient you are running behind. My time is just a precious and I am just as busy. I will go to another doctor.

Great explanations and treatment

Excellent explanation of problem & treatment options. Melissa listens & answers all questions. Absolutely recommend.

Dr. Blackmer did surgery on my rotator cuff and bicep a couple of weeks ago. I am amazed at how much better I feel already. After reading everything I could find on the internet I was really scared about the pain and recovery time. He did a great job of explaining what was done during surgery and also provided pictures which helped me understand. His staff is friendly and helpful as well. He did an outstanding job and I highly recommend him.

Very confident with Dr Blackmer! Caring and the best bedside manner!

My first visit with Dr Blackmer and he took his time to learn my case. Very personal and knowledgeable. He addressed my concerns and different options.

I had a scheduled appointment at 1, didn't get seen until 2. He did more than the previous doctor did, though. It was an okay experience.

Very professional, very kind and thorough. I feel great about his preforming my surgery . Also every team member I interacted with as well

A wonderfully kind gentleman, with an extremely calming approach.

He came in the exam room shortly after reviewing the xrays. Talked for a minute and told me what my hip pain was and gave me a shot in the hip. I was in and out quickly. Staff was all friendly and Doctor was pleasant and helpful.

Love Dr Blackmer he is a very good Dr and his staff are awesome i would recommend him yo family friends or any one who need his services

He was so caring. He listened to me. And we talked about what was going on with me.

Very great with information in also willing to listen to his patient and. giving honest opinion

Nice Doctor!!

The best ever!!!!!

He was very helpful and helping me make an informed decision for hip replacement. Very thorough and understanding! I am totally 100% comfortable with this doctor!

Very professional. Answered all my questions put me at ease. Excellent caring doctor.

I will not see him again. He is a poor care provider. I came to the appt.in extreme pain and his staff was excellent but he did NOTHING to relieve my pain or even prescribe a stronger anti-inflammatory. I left the appt. In pain just like I arrived.

Very nice informative doc. I highly recommend him. The entire office staff is excellent.

Excellent Dr

Trustworthy

Very easy to talk to. Very clear and patient.

Dr Blackmer was not only attentive to my issues but was also very considerate and gentle in treatment. Best of all , I slept best I weeks from lack of pain

Excellent doctor! Compassionate!!

Very informative and professional and good sense of humor

Friendly,efficient,open minded,and decisive.

I went to see Dr. Blackmer after my results of my MRI. I have a complete rotated cuff tear in my left arm. He is very knowledgeable , kind, listens to your concerns, and he gives you options on what you can do. Right now I’m just managing the pain with the steroids shots and physical therapy until I can have surgery. You won’t regret seeing him.

His diagnosis was spot on. I have absolute confidence in him. I would highly recommend him.

this was my first visit. I was treated with respect and professionalism.

Dr Blackmer was great and explained my exrays with a plan of treatment and surgery. I'm so glad I was referred to him!!

Excellent manner. Very sympathetic and understands the patient. His PA is also fantastic.

Loved Dr. Blackmer - took his time and explained everything And listened to me

I had been struggling to recover from a shoulder injury previously labeled as bursitis. After months of therapy and injections did no good, I met Dr. Blackmer, for a second opinion. He took time with me; asked pertinent questions and listened carefully to my responses. Furthermore, he explained my diagnosis and told me that neither anti-inflammatory pills, nor steroid injections would correct the problem. I look forward to seeing if the new treatment plan provides the relief that I have been waiting on for many months! I’ve only seen him once, but he has already secured my confidence!
