Dr. Hugh Ratchford Black, MD

Dr.blackhas been my doctor since I was a small child and each and everytime he has done nothing but help my quality of life with good advice and medicine that benefits me positively!

Took my child to see Dr Black for eval of breathing difficulties. He told her he believed she was having difficulty breathing because she is anxious. My pediatrician disagree with Dr Blacks diagnosis of anxiety. Dr Black not qualified to diagnose anxiety disorders. My child said it beautifully when she said “Dr Black thinks I’m anxious because he has anxiety.” Did nothing besides a simple breathing test to evaluate her concerns and cause for Emergency Room visit. Scheduled appt with Dr Black for expertise on lung health not his subjective opinion on my child’s psychiatric status. Instead of listening to my child’s concerns, reviewing test results we brought with us he literally told us he thought she was anxious. Never been diagnosed with anxiety by pediatrician who has treated her for 13 years. Will never see Dr Black again. Waste of money and time.

My son suffered from asthma until consulting with Dr. Black. He was patient and understanding, as was his nurse. Anyway, his treatment and care changed my child's life for the better.
