Very professional and very straight to the point and kind.
Great attentive service! Dr. Blackwell was awesome and explained everything in detail to me and my son!
He is a very like able doctor. I really appreciate his willingness to explain his methods with the same level of intellect as the curiosity of my questions. There are many doctors who have forgotten that a patient is a person who is worthy of explanations about their own welfare. Sadly, many patients don’t know the questions to ask or they have been taught to not be their own advocates.
Dr. Blackwell is friendly, easy to understand and professionally most competent. Very likeable.
The best at explaining and making one feel at ease.
Thanks for the care
Very good and professional Dr
I appreciated the honest and direct conversation we had. He told me his thoughts and then listened to my experience and where I was coming from. Grateful for the referral!
Always a great visit. Attentive, thorough, and offers clear explanations.
Great doctor. Good bedside manner. Talks to you and explains procedures. Had to get a shot and he used the freezing stuff that really helped.
