He very nice
I recently had knee replacement surgery and Dr. Blackmer was amazing. His staff is also wonderful and very attentive. I would definitely recommend him to anyone that is facing surgery.
He does a great job and has a really nice bedside manner
Addresses my concerns and explains my opinions.
Very nice. Comfortable and thorough.
Kept pushing into my injured knee.
Dr.Blackmer was excellent. Very professional, knowledgeable and attentive to my needs. Already had x-ray results before seeing me. Almost like visiting with a friend.
Easy to talk to. Provided excellent guidance to deal with my knee issues.
My first visit to the Orthopedic Group and Dr Blackmer I was scheduled with for my knee. I was very impressed and feel confident I will be coming here for all my orthopedic issues. The nursing staff was great along with the front office.
