I have suffered with chronic years for many many years. Having seen numerous consultants in my search for answers/help/a cure or just some respite, Dr Blackburn has gone above and beyond to help me find the right people to help me. Moreover, he has been by far the best doctor in helping me fight the pain. He listens carefully and answers any questions concisely and patiently. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Dr Blackburn. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
