Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr Blackmer is a kind and caring professional and I highly recommend him.

Gifted Hands
The first time I met Dr Blackmer was late last year when I broke my hip and he did the emergency THA (Total Hip Arthroplasty-replacement) Me being hardheaded, I was informed to get to the hospital promptly, I did! Recovery was fast, pain minimal and I healed nicely. This appointment was for my knee same side and I will need a knee replacement in the near future and I promise I will not let anyone else do my surgery. He is professional, knows what he’s doing and I can confirm he has gifted hands.
