Dr. Blackham Saved Me! 7/27/2009

Dr. Blackham is absolutely terrific! He was willing to submit to my very scrutinizing interview and answer all my questions. I worked in health care for 11 years and had had an extremely bad vaginal delivery the first time, which required a c-section for the second time around. So, I grilled him with questions and had several things I wanted to have a say in that are not "standard" procedures during pregnancy and c-sections delivery. Dr. Blackham was completely respectful of my medical knowledge and personal wishes derived from experience. I had interviewed other OB's who were extremely offended by my candor and desire to be a "partner" in my health care. Dr. Blackham was completely the opposite. He went to work doing all he could to facilitate my wishes (none that would compromise my or our baby's health, of course!). He was also willing to research a little used treatment for my pregnancy condition, Hyperemesis Gravidarum, which I could not get other OB's to even look at. We tried the treatment with a conservative approach and it saved me from being hospitalized and spending my entire pregnancy just trying to survive (literally!). It saved my family from not having a mom (functionally anyway, as I was a lump on the floor on IV's and home health care). His office is small and not fancy, but comfortable and puts me at ease. I love the fact that he is not rushing patients through and cares about your comfort and modesty as a woman. His wife sews "moo-moo's" and real cloth cover-ups so you don't have to fight paper gowns, feel exposed to the world and cold. His receptionists have been wonderful to me. Dr. Blackham called me back on nights and weekends when I was so sick (before the treatment could be used) and has never made me feel rushed or like I was disturbing him. He is the perfect combination of extremely professional and knowledgeable along with being truly caring, respectful, and willing to "think outside the box" to provide excellent care for his patients. Dr. Blackham is the best! more
