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.

I have had excellent care from Dr. Blackburn for more than 20 years. He is an excellent surgeon and spot-on in an emergency (of which I have had more than my share). I refer everyone to him. He doesn't always come across as relaxed and friendly at first, but don't be discouraged. He is professional and supportive of his patients.

His contract does state that he uses and assistant, maybe this one was a trainee because I received a hatchet job on my left side of breast. At the end of 3 weeks I am still icing the entire under arm area on the left. The pain the assistant caused goes all the way into my back, left side is taking longer to heal. It looks like too much skin was cut off the left, leaving a pucker.

I am extremely confident Dr. BLACKBURN'S skills as a surgeon. He is easy to talk to ,and always listens to any concerns . His staff members are always polite and friendly .The officers are clean, tidy, very pleasant. Waiting is not an issue at all. I have never waited more than 3 minutes. I feel that I am lucky to have found a dedicated professional that is so pleasant .
