In 2019 my health was going in the wrong direction. I was overweight and had high blood pressure and high cholesterol. I met Dr. Donald Blackmon, MDVIP. He gave me an extensive physical exam.

He suggested a very restrictive diet that… See more
I have been through the most difficult times with my health since 2016. My husband and I can honestly say that we do not know how we would have been able to get through these difficult times without Dr. Blackmon's excellent medical care and concern. He has gone above and beyond what we could have expected and we are truly grateful for our physician/patient relationship with Dr. Blackmon… See more
Having one doctor that has all my information has been a great relief. I was seeing no less than 5 doctors and no one knew what the other was prescribing. My neighbor told me about Dr. Blackmon. Since then I have found that several of my friends were also using him. Dr. Blackmon and his staff are excellent. He sits down and goes over my bloodwork and any other things on my mind.

I am 60 years old. I have known Dr Donald Blackmon since my early twenties. He is the most compassionate and thorough physician I have ever met. He truly cares about my health and well being, and is a true friend.
I have been a patient of Dr Blackmon for just a short time. I really appreciate our back and forth conversation. It confirms that I am being listened to. It is very different from a mostly one-sided instruction visit with a doctor. I am so very happy that I made the change!
I was told my probable diagnosis was Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis "IPF", which I never heard of and when I Googled it, was in shock as to what it was and that there was no treatment and no cure! My life went upside down and my brain spent time in a state of confusion. My then treating PA told me my medical issues were "too complicated" and I needed to find a new doctor… See more
We have had good doctors in our lives but we started to notice that our access time to doctors had decreased. We had been very disappointed about that situation as both of us have health problems. Dr. Blackmon had been mentioned to us by many of our friends at our life care facility who use his services and were told they were given access and help immediately when they called. My husband and… See more
