      Dr. Blackburn is the Best! He is smart, kind, knowledgeable, and honest. He is a very good listener, and takes his time with the examination.Please bring him a hot lunch, and give him a good parking spot. Give him whatever support he needs to do his job. Don't overwork him or stress him out! Thanks!!

      All of the staff were polite, however I do not feel they really listened and were empathetic for my mother's condition. Dr Blackburn did not even spend 5 minutes with her.
