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. Blackburn and his staff are excellent. He listens carefully to your issues, and treats them accordingly. He is a Christian man, and his office atmosphere is warm and friendly.

I have been seeing Dr. Blackburn for about 15 years. I have never had to wait more than 15 minutes for an appointment. He is a patient and kind person. He is very knowledgeable on problems that I deal with.

Dr. Blackburn's staff refused to schedule me for a basic physical because I had not been to their office in three years. They said that the time away made me a new patient and they don't give physicals to new patients. Prior to this, I had been a patient of Blackburn's for 20+ years. It is sad when office rules trump common sense.

I have been going to Dr. Blackburn for many years. He is patient, and never rushes. He is a good Christian man and really wants you to be in good health. His staff is wonderful and I can not say enough good things about them. I believe in all the years I have gone to him, I may have had to wait more than 30 minutes twice. My pharmacist uses him and that is how I found him, I would highly recommend him for your everyday needs!
