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 cannot say enough great things about Dr. Blalock and his incredible team! From the moment I walked into his office, I felt confident that I was in the best hands. Dr. Blalock is not only highly skilled and knowledgeable but also compassionate and attentive. He took the time to thoroughly explain my condition, treatment options, and what to expect before and after surgery.The surgery itself was a complete success, and my recovery has been smooth thanks to his expert care and guidance. His dedication to his patients is truly remarkable, and I am beyond grateful for the life-changing results.If you're looking for an outstanding orthopedic surgeon who genuinely cares about his patients and delivers top-notch results, I highly recommend Dr. Blalock. He is simply the best! Thank you, Dr. Blalock, for giving me back my mobility and quality of life!

UNTRUSTWORTHY
I am 60 yrs. old, and I went to RICHARD BLAYLOCK 2, JR. To inquire about knee problem, and Blaylock recommended a replacement, this is what i got from CALLOWAY CO. HOSPITAL AND DR RICHARD BLAYLOCK 2 JR, IN MURRAY KY.. RICHARD BLAYLOCK 2 ORTHOPEDIC AND CALLOWAY CO HOSPITAL FAILED ,They did not call home health after complete knee surgery for 10 days. Physical therapy did not show up for almost 2 weeks after complete knee surgery and that was RICHARD BLAYLOCK 2, ORTHOPEDIC, and CALLOWAY CO HOSPITAL,S responsibility they failed, BLAYLOCK2, also did not medicate me when sent home, after surgery I fell down steps and broke arm and tore rotor cuff, because of Murray Calloway co hospital and Dr Richard Blaylock 2 ,s negligence ,I went to a hospital in another state. Have lost everything i have ever had and will have, Because of RICHARD BLAYLOCK 2 JR ORTHOPEDIC AND MURRAY CALLOWAY CO HOSPITAL IN MURRAY KY.I trusted RICHARD BLAYLOCK 2 JR OF MURRAY KY HOSPITAL WITH MY LIFE AND THEY TOOK MINE.
