Dr. Blackmon has changed my life. He is very professional, empathetic, and courteous. I am blown away by the difference in seeing a psychiatrist for PTSD and other challenges vs. going to the family doc and having them prescribe drugs for issues without truly getting to know you. He has helped me sort out so much in a short amount of time, and has helped me collaborate on treatment with my family doctor. I will continue to see him and have an appointment for my daughter to meet with him.

I would not recommend Dr. Blackmon. Use another psychologist to have testing done. I went to him to have my daughter tested for ADD. His website looked like his fees were cheaper that other practices. Pay the extra money and go somewhere else- it ends up being more than expected anyway. He came across as judgmental and even made me feel ashamed at times of how my daughter acted during the sessions. This is added to the time it has taken to schedule the appointments. Plus I still don't have the report as promised.

I often think about how much Dr. Blackmon had helped me to get to where I am today in my education. 3 years ago I was trying to get into grad school but was struggling completing timed exams because I have a learning disability. I was referred to Dr. Blackmon for an evaluation and he confirmed my diagnosis. Dr. Blackmon evaluated my cognitive learning skills over 4-5 sessions (the sessions consisted of tests and measures that were actually very fun for me to participate in). I truly enjoyed my evaluation visits with Dr. Blackmon. He was patient, understanding and caring towards my situation. After

I had to go to Mr. Blackmon after a car wreck and he had to administer some California cognition tests, not sure what the official name of them was. I guess he was too “all business” or something for me. Maybe not his fault, just the way he is. But when a clients life is drastically changed through no fault of their own, you should really be able to force out some understanding, especially if your chosen profession will demand it from time to time.

It is hard to put into words the gratitude for a doctor who goes above and beyond to do all he can for his patients. Dr Blackmon has helped members of all ages in my family. He identifies problems and solutions and has given a voice and hope to those individuals who have trouble defending themselves. I highly recommend Dr Blackmon
