Dr. Black is an awesome physician. He explained the findings of my tests (mammogram and sonogram ) in detailed and made me feel at ease. His staff is very well trained and very helpful. He seems to be a very good person that cares a lot about his patients.

Went to Dr. Black's office for a consult on a growth. I found him engaging and knowledgeable. He spent over 45 minutes talking to me and I will be setting an appointment with him for surgery soon.

My daughter had an infected gall bladder and her stats were at dangerous levels (white blood cell count was way off the norm, extremely low blood pressure, high fever). The doctor admitted the gall bladder was infected. My daughter' s insurance says it is a pre-existing condition and therefore the doctor refuses to treat her. He said, "If you can't pay, you don't need to be here. I don't work for free". I can't speak for his staff as this all took place in the hospital.
