Dr. Andrew Joseph Blackman, MD

He took out my right burttis and that was not the problem worst doctor ever I am glad he is gone

I fell in a parking lot and assumed I had broken my arm since I could not raise it above my waist. Was able to see the doctor's physician assistant that same day (I was not a previous patient) and X-rays were taken in the office. That evening an MRI was taken that showed I needed surgery for a torn rotator cuff. One week later surgery was performed. Now 12 weeks after surgery everything seems back to normal and I am working on regaining full strength in that arm.

My knee surgery was done by now retired Dr. Sedgwick. Dr. Andrew did my 3 yr check up. All good. Then, I was having severe hip area pain-thought it was sciatica, made an appt, and went to see him. His assistant came in, examined me-then Dr. A came in. Barely looked at me, just the paperwork, wrote me an RX, sent me to PT and told me if it continued-he could send me to a pain management Dr. IF he doesn't want to look at sciatica patients-the front desk should have told me. Worse-my PT person was stunned he took no x-rays, and the PT made things worse. This was in May. I went to my internist, who did take x-rays. The pain went away on it's own-but then came back. Saw my internist, who ordered an MRI-and it seems I have a cyst along my spine, blah, blah, which is causing severe nerve pain. I LOVED Dr. Sedgwick, and I won't be going back to Dr. Andrew again. He is uncaring, not thorough, and I am still blown away by the lack of real interest he showed.

This office is filled with dedicated, organized people. I have had two shoulder surgeries in the past six months, and my experience was totally different with each. With Dr. Blackman and Ryan Vallo, I had courteous, thorough, efficient, and totally professional encounters. My previous doctor never seemed to know who I was, which shoulder he operated on, and left me wondering how I could understand what to do to care for my shoulder after surgery. With Blackman and Vallo, I always felt they knew who I was and were never too busy to answer questions and explain procedures, follow-ups, etc. The are respectful of their patients' time and treat everyone kindly. No one wants surgery, but if surgery could be a pleasure, this was it. I really appreciated the care I received!

Excellent Doctor. Would highly recommend.
