I’ve been seeing Dr. Blackburn for over 25 years. I wouldn’t even think of going to anyone else. He saved me from the “crazies” more than once. He has a remarkable ability to prescribe the exact medications needed. I’m content and happy thanks to him.

I’ve been seeing Dr. Blackburn for over 20 years, and I think he is exceptional. My life is normal and joyful thanks to him. I would never see another psychiatrist. His diagnosis and the medication he gave me were spot on.

This man is too old to be seeing patients anymore. He is quite behind in his notes. His staff tries to make light of it, but he is negligent in his record keeping. The staff is very difficult to deal with and very rude.
