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.

Autoimmune neutropenia
He has an ego that his method is correct instead of searching for the real health issues or referrals to other dr. He told me to take steroids. I was highly allergic to them. He said if just would have listened to him and taken more I would be well already. Then he offered me another drug that could cause death or permanent disability. He never offered safer medical choices. I had to seek out other medical professionals to do more testing and offer drugs I was not allergic to. He doesn’t like to listen to the patient to possibly learn about causes for autoimmune.

Arrogant
Dr. Black is a terrible doctor. I have iron deficiency (without anemia) he kept saying that I don't have iron deficiency anemia because my hemoglobin is normal! Duh, I have iron deficiency without anemia insistent that it's the same thing. He also wrote in his notes that he did an exam that included checking my lymph nodes, lungs, bowel sounds and palpating my abdomen. His exam stated that I do not have purpura or petechiae when in fact I have lots of petechiae. He did nothing he said he did. If he would have taken the time to ask me (and actually do the exam he said he did) he would have known that my lymph node in my neck & my groin are swollen & tender, his exam consisted of a one second slide of his finger across my neck, no other exams were done! If you are looking for a doc that does not listen to your concerns & is ego driven, then go see him If you want a doctor that cares see someone else.

Dr. Black and his staff have been helping my son since he was diagnosed with Cancer. You have no idea how difficult those words are to hear unless you have been there. I can't tell you how many times I've recited the parent's prayer. Dr. Black has always been very straightforward. He shoots from the hip and does not sugarcoat any news. The last thing I wanted was a doctor not being real and giving my family and me false hope. Dr. Black is incredible and to be commended.
