The office is very busy. Waits past appointment time not uncommon. To me these are a sign of a good doctor who takes his time with his patients. I have been seeing him for several years and have a good respect for him.

Have always used Drs with TOG on the Mobile side, but decided to try Foley as it was closer to where I live. Was told that Dr Blackmer would be great for my hip/knee issues after a fall. Can't recommend him enough! Very thorough, comprehensive and listened to my vast list of other medical issues. He is helping me and doing all he can to treat me with my particular needs in mind, very unusual in today's world. I am very satisfied with my care.
