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.

Don't go to this doctor
Spent three thousand dollars on this test that test this procedure that procedure she ordered. Eventually i was let go because she said ONE of the test does not give positive result, She totally ignored the positive results from the rest of the tests and procedures. She totally ignored patient's symptoms and feelings. I have to say during the face to face visit, she is very lack of communication , just throwed a few words such as you need to do this test, do that test... Most of my communication are with the physician assistants. I guess she is the chair so she does not want to talk to you directly.

If I could give 10 stars I would
Dr. Blackmon is such an empathetic surgeon and gets things done to save your life. She not only does her job but goes above and beyond to make sure that you’re comfortable after the procedure. I’ve been her patient for a year now and every now and then I get a follow up asking how I’ve been doing. I had gastric cancer that spread to my esophagus, so she was called in to perform the removal of my esophagus and the reconstruction. I highly recommend Dr Blackmon.
