Vance Blackburn's Online Review Report Card

As a new patient got an appointment promptly-had little wait time to see the doctor once I got there. He was still using paper charts meaning more attention to me than a keyboard. Staff was friendly and professional.

Best doctor I’ve ever visited. The staff is very polite, the wait is not too long and Dr. Blackburn himself is very friendly and easy to talk to. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a doctor!

Dr. Blackburn has cared for our family for well over a decade. He and staff are faithful, experienced, and competent.

This doctor who’s gone to church with my wife for years, refused to call in anything to help when I was so sick I could not get out of the bed. I called his office and HE WAS NOT AVAILABLE for over a week to see. They wanted me to get up, get in the pouring rain and come to his office to see a nurse. All I needed was an antibiotic.My wife emailed him directly AND HE DOUBLED DOWN and lied to her—telling her that he had said he would see me that day AND made disparaging remarks telling my wife “that that wasn’t what I wanted to hear.” Well I didn’t hear that BECAUSE THAT WAS NEVER SAID! I was in the bed very sick—I wasn’t really wanting anything but some help. What he should have done is call in the antibiotic and scheduled an appointment for as soon as I could get up and out.He lied to her because of “his status” in the community and the fact he’s known my wife in church for years and was saving face.This, in my view, is a horrible doctor and horrible person. I have filed an ethics complaint with The Alabama Medical Board, ALBME.—Larry Shaw,Bham Al.

Dr. Blackburn and his staff are excellent. He listens carefully to your issues, and treats them accordingly. He is a Christian man, and his office atmosphere is warm and friendly.

I have been seeing Dr. Blackburn for about 15 years. I have never had to wait more than 15 minutes for an appointment. He is a patient and kind person. He is very knowledgeable on problems that I deal with.

Very please with the care my daughter received with Dr. Blackburn this morning. We never felt rushed. He listened to my concerns. Worked with us on tweaking the prescriptions to meet her needs exactly. very grateful to have quality healthcare so close to home.

Dr. Blackburn's staff would not allow me to make an appointment for a simple physical because it had been three years since my last visit. They said this time away made me a new patient and that they don't give physicals to new patients. Prior to this I had been a patient of Blackburn's for over 20 years. It is sad when office rules trump common sense.

Dr. Blackburn's staff refused to schedule me for a basic physical because I had not been to their office in three years. They said that the time away made me a new patient and they don't give physicals to new patients. Prior to this, I had been a patient of Blackburn's for 20+ years. It is sad when office rules trump common sense.

Have been a patient of Dr. Blackburns for over 20 years. Would never change. He and the staff are wonderful. His nurse Sabrina is the best!
