He is a native of South Carolina and holds degrees in both Mechanical Engineering (BS-'84) and Bioengineering (MS-'91) from Clemson University.

The specialty of Hand Surgery incorporates expertise derived from many surgical disciplines including Orthopaedics, General, Plastics, Vascular and Neurosurgery - all employed to manage conditions affecting the Hand. Dr. Blackwell's clinical practice encompasses both acute and chronic conditions, arising from injury or aging, with an anatomic focus spanning from elbow to finger-tips. Although 50% of his clinical practice involves Hand Injuries (i.e., fractures and/or soft-tissue damage to skin, muscle, tendons, arteries or nerves), Dr. Blackwell routinely treats acquired conditions of the Hand, Wrist and/or Forearm which stem from tendonitis, arthritis, nerve compression syndromes, infections, vascular disease or tumors. Dr. Blackwell treats patients of all ages. Hand conditions arising from work are also managed.

I just love Dr.Blacwell he takes the time to explain things to his patients
Awesome, patient, and knowledgeable provider! He interacts great with kids and adults. What I love the most is how he thoroughly explains everything on a patient level and really demonstrates that he cares. We love you Dr. Blackwell!
Dr. Blackwell is AMAZING. I was very worried about receiving a shot in my wrist, but he reassured me and took his time explaining the whole process. He could tell how worried I was and he gave me a hug before he did the shot and let me know I was going to be okay. He took his time to explain everything and made sure I knew what was going on. I would 100% recommend him to anyone.
Terrific doctor but time management seems to be an issue at the surgery center.
I love Dr. Blackwell. He is cheerful and kind and compassionate!
received a shot of steriods in my elbow. It barely hurt because he took his time and distracted me with conversation.
Very Excellent
Very thorough and professional.
Great care and concern. Dr. Blackwell takes time to answer all questions in understandable language.
He was very thorough and took into consideration my level of education with his explanations.
