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.

Highly recommend.
I’ve going to Dr B for many years. He is very caring, and a great Dr. I highly recommend him to everyone who needs an excellent doctor.

Blackwood Family Medicine
Went for walk in health check, wait was minimal about 10 minutes. Nurse was extremely professional and patient oriented. PA Del was professional and explained everything he saw and his conclusions. Overall excellent visit. If you are looking for primary care physician Blackwood Family Medicine is the one to go to.

Last visit
I am very disappointed in Dr. Blackwood. Notes written in my last visit summary were not true. When asked about it he chose not to reply. He should be more aware of the impact of an inaccurate statement has on my personal life.

Personal followup
Dr.Blackwood received my radiology and oncology reports. While he is not involved in my immediate treatment, he reached out to express care and concern. His personal communication means so much.

Great Practice
I have always had great visits, with hardly any wait time. Everyone is always so nice and they’re very concerned about you. when you’re sick, they follow up the next day and call you to make sure you’re feeling any better. they always listen to your concerns and take care of business. I really like this practice. I’ve been with them for over 10 years now and I’ll keep on going thank you to all the doctors, doctor assistants, nurses, and staff. They are the nicest people you can meet and trust always smiling and concerned.

What A Great MD!!
Dr. Blackwood has been our primary care MD for over 25 years. Additionally, Chris and I have referred several friends to his practice and all of them agree that he is peerless. He is both personal and competent. Although his time with me is limited, he treats me like I am his only patient for the day. More important, however, he keeps up with the medical research and does not hesitate to recommend the latest intervention in his treatment. I wouldn't think of seeing a different primary provider.

The Best
Dr. Blackwood has been my PCP for at least 25 years. He treats my husband as well. We love him! He may run a little late at times, but that’s because he is giving someone his full attention, and you will get the same. Medicine is not an exact science, and he cannot predict exactly what he’ll be seeing and treating until he sees each patient. He and his staff have always treated us with respect and kindness. He always asks about my family with a genuine interest. We just love him and will be sad when he retires.

The best doctor and amazing office staff
I've been seeing Dr. Blackwood for over a decade, and I can confidently say he's the most knowledgeable, patient, kind, and attentive doctor I've ever met. He consistently listens to his patients and ensures he spends ample time with each one to address their concerns thoroughly. I wouldn't trade Dr. Blackwood for any other doctor in the world.
