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.

Great hand surgeon!
The office staff is friendly. Dr Blackburn always listens and his main concern is your level of discomfort. His manner is so professional and caring. Thank God for the injections but ready if he thinks surgery necessary. I trust him a lot! He’s so thorough!

I highly recommend Dr. Blackburn. He repaired trigger finger on both my hands last year. Both surgeries were successful with a quick recovery and very little pain. I now have full range of motion with both hands. Dr. Blackburn and his staff are friendly and efficient,

This doctor was like being in the room with a Mime. He spoke maybe 20 words to me and was not interested in discussing anything or explaining anything. He did tell me after delaying an MRI for months after a car wreck I was that he does not do the surgery that I would need and that was pretty much it. His attitude with me was of complete indifference. And I felt as if it was because it was a car accident that brought me in to see him. I am guessing since when I left I was absolutely confused as to what just happened. Do not ever go to Louisville Arm and Hand and if you do stay away from a plastic surgeon and find an actual orthopedic surgeon.

Disappointed – Feb 15, 2020
×Post a ResponseAre you Dr. Blackburn?
Dr. Blackburn did my outpatient surgery for Dupytren’s Disease. He explained every aspect of the procedure, possible issues, and what I should expect in terms of recovery. In addition to being thorough and professional, he was also kind and interested in what the procedure would do for me. I highly recommend Dr. Blackburn.

Dr Blackburn did my carpal tunnel release in both hands. He is an excellent doctor with great bedside manner's and treats you like a person not a patient. He never acts like he is in a hurry and doesn't have time to answer your questions no matter how many questions you have. I will recommend Dr Blackburn to everyone that has carpal tunnel trouble.
