Dr. Blackburn came highly recommended from one of my golf partners. He was punctual and quickly diagnosed my medical condition. He clearly explained what was going on with my hand and how he could treat it. He was easy to talk to and explained what he was doing in easy to understand terminology. Based on my first visit I would highly recommend Dr Blackburn.

Dr. Blackburn is awesome! He did my surgery back in February on my left thumb area. Everything has healed well & I’m very happy with where I’m at. He’s always great when I go in for appointments, answers all my millions of questions & tells me exactly what I need to do in order to get better. I highly recommend him!

Doctor Blackburn spent a lot of time helping me try to understand my available surgical options. He also offered to talk with my family members at any time. I initially came to get a second opinion, but will stay as his patient.
