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.
