Dr. Black is the best!! He was the only one that could find a Lisfranc fracture that I walked on for 2 1/2 years when everyone else said it was arthritis. Excellent doctor.

Thought I would just have a consultation and another appointment for actual procedure, but he diagnosed, consulted, and did procedure in one appointment.
I'm a tough customer when it comes to pain during procedures, as my nerve/ brain wiring is not atypical, he accepted a tough patient challenge, and excelled! Fixed me in one appointment, quick, professional, and painless. Looking forward to speedy pain-free recovery, and follow-up.

Dr. Black is an awesome doctor. I’ve had two surgeries with him on my ankle and he is excellent. He’s the greatest doctor ever. He takes care of my ingrown toenail every six months. Also, I definitely give him a five star rating..
