Not sure what her title is but she was completely unprofessional when she left the room and proceeded to tell the other office workers how "skeeved out she was" and could be heard....she needs to be reminded why she's there and to show respect and not share patient issues to others. Dr. Blackmer is a great doctor but I do not think she would like this behavior in her office.

I have been a patient for quite some time and have always been treated by the staff and Dr. Blackmer in a friendly and professional manner. Although I seldom need an "urgent" visit they do their best to fit me in to their schedule. Dr. Blackmer takes her time (although very efficient) to answer all my questions and concerns. I am so happy I got in as a patient before she stopped taking new patients.

Dr. Blackmer is an excellent doctor. I have a great deal of confidence in her practice. She is straightforward and provides accurate diagnosis. Her staff is always courteous, busy and helpful with follow-ups, referrals and payments. A blood draw is conveniently outside of the waiting room.
