It is a small practice and I think they have three doctors and nurse probationers. They provide good service and they are organized. They seem to be well managed. Dr. Blackwood is one of the doctors that focus on the prevention rather than just to give you more medicine. That is the thing I like about him. You don’t feel like you are a part of an assembly line and he spends a lot of time with you. It is not a new building but it is clean and well maintained.
Description of Work: I use Dr. Blackwood. I did a general check up.

They communicated a specific care for my husband which I appreciated. They take our whole family which is very important to me, I just value our whole family going to one place and they're always efficient as far as insurance and everything. I never had a problem with scheduling. They're easy to get a hold of. It's wonderful because it's an existential place for your whole family's care.
Description of Work: Dr. Robert C. Blackwood is our family doctor. We're hit by a drunk driver and the information that we've collected at the hospital, they forwarded it to the doctor's office, and we got a call from his office the next day. In the accident, my husband's blood pressure went up extremely high, and it didn't come back down, so, usually when you're in trauma, sometimes you'll have a heart attack because of the injuries later, so they're watching him for that.

Dr. Robert C. Blackwood has a real good practice and he listens to his patients. We have seen Dr. Blackwood off and on for 20 years. He pays attention to his patients and he really shows concern for whatever your condition is and he is willing to refer you to someone else if he can't do it and he doesn't fiddle around doing it.

Dr. Blackwood and I came away from the meeting agreeing that open communication is vital in the success of his practice and my efforts to guard my well being. I admire the man for providing the opportunity to clear up the misunderstanding and take incident to educate his staff.
Description of Work: I had had a poor experience with Dr. Blackwood's staff and then received a letter dismissing me from the practice. I wrote a letter to Dr. Blackwood and my insurance company. Dr. Blackwood was prompt in arranging an appointment so we could meet and clear up the misunderstanding. As a result of that meeting, Dr. Blackwood learned that I had no issues with him or his physician assistants, but there was an error in the billing and as a result services were not rendered.

I have never received a call from the office manager. One week prior to surgery (on Monday), I began running a fever, respiratory issues, I called to see if I could get in to be seen and I was offered an appointment on Thursday. When I pushed, I was told the earliest was Tuesday. I went to Urgent Care and called them back to cancel the appointment. It is Thursday, I received a dismissal letter in the mail from Dr. Blackwood. I have never talked to Dr. Blackwood, never even met this person. Knowing I am going in for surgery on Monday, I feel this unethical of a physician, not mention unprofessional.
Description of Work: I am having surgery and needed to be seen for a pre-op visit. I also am due for a pap smear. I called and requested an appointment to address both issues. Dr. Blackwood's son, one of the staff, stated that I could not make an appointment for both issues, it was against TriCare policy. We made two appointments. I was seen by the physician assistant on the 17 of Feb. I was then called the morning of the second appointment by another member of Dr. Blackwood's staff wanting to know why I had not been seen for the both issues during the first appointment. She stated she knew that Tricare would not pay for both visits and she didn't want me becoming deliquent again. I have never been deliquent. I requested the office manager call me.

They have been my and my husband's primary care for many years. Even though I'm only in there once a year or less, Dr. Blackwood remembers me and asks about my family. You just don't get that kind of personal care from a doctor anymore! Unfortunately, it's difficult to get in there when I have an urgent condition and I usually end up at Patient First. They do a great job of coordinating the medical information from my other providers. The office is sparse, not fancy, but the staff is great and very friendly. Wait time for my appointment this morning was about 20 minutes after my scheduled time.

I go to Dr. Blackwood’s office frequently. I had been feeling very bad and I had no energy. I was having appearances of thrush in my mouth. So I went to another practice and the first doctor over there said that he could handle only one symptom at a time. I then went to one of the other doctor’s in that practice and she said it was all hormone related since I am 55. She put me on a bunch of hormones, but I was still not getting any better. So I went to Dr. Blackwood’s office. Another doctor over there sat down with me and asked me to tell her everything and not to miss anything. I sat there and talked to her for about half an hour. I then told her about the thrush, the pains and how tired I was feeling. She immediately sent me down the hall for blood work and they called me the next day. I was diagnosed with full fledged mononucleosis and my spleen was almost ready to rupture. They are fabulous. They take their time. They listen to you. It’s not a fancy office. It doesn’t have the flat screen TV’s, aquariums, collection of Disney characters and all that, but they do take care of you when you are sick. They also follow up. They call you and tell you about any lab work regardless of whether it’s normal or not. I haven’t had a single problem with the billing. They submit everything. It’s coded right. They get paid and I get whatever I am supposed to get. It’s fantastic. I can’t say enough. It was an ongoing site. I was spending four hours a week when I was going to the other facility to make sure that my billing was right. Dr. Blackwood's office is very professional and friendly. The staff is very good. I am going to their office at 1 o’clock today. Dr. Blackwood dismissed me from his practice because his staff has had an issue. Rather than say there was a mix up, miscommunication, misunderstanding...you're dismissed.
Description of Work: I go to Dr. Robert Blackwood's office for my primary care needs.

Dr. Greele has since gone to the military care and the physician's assistant has been offered an Administrator's position with one of the major hospitals, but I have confidence that Dr. Blackwell will settle for nothing short of people that will truly listen, be empathic, and knowledgeable.
Description of Work: I had been going to Bon Secour Physicians because I had been feeling worn out, I had thrush like symptoms in my mouth, I had pains in my back, sweats,over bad. The first doctor that saw me said I could only discuss one sympton per appointment. Make more appointments. The second doctor said my problem was hormones, so she put me on hormones. I had no relief, if anything I was getting worse. I got a letter from Bon Secour Physicians stating that I was abusive of their time (we are TriCare) and I should find another physician. I did, I went to Dr. Blackburn's office. The first visit was Dr. Greele, she listened, as me to have some blood work completed. I rec'd a call a couple of days later and was asked to come into the office. I had mono. I was in the the full blown period. They explained that the spleen was at risk and went into great detail with me about the infection. They assured me that I was not imagining the symptoms. It was nothing hormones could treat. The symptoms (all of them) were classic for mono. The office staff is professional. They don't act like you are nuisance or bother. They treat you with the utmost respect.

They are my heros.
Description of Work: I have been feeling poorly since September. My previous family practice would schedule for weeks out, when I presented and began explaining my symptoms, I was chastised and told I would have to set up another appointment for other issues. They only scheduled for one. I immediately called Dr. Blackwood's office and got in the next day. The doctor spent a deal of time with me listening to the symptoms, she ordered bloodwork and I was diagnosed with mono. She listened, she got the whole picture and I got full treatment. I know now, that if I do have to wait for my appointment, it is because they are LISTENING, and getting the WHOLE story to give a CORRECT diagnosis. They truly have your welfare at interest. After an issue with Dr. Blackwood's staff, (couldn't decide whether they needed one appointment or two) I was dismissed without so much as an opportunity to discuss the issue.
