I ve had this issue for several years and established care in Louisville since I recently moved here. There wasn't much need to discuss what was causing my pain.

Dr explained what needed to be done and hopefully it will be taken care of within 2 weeks. Scheduler came in and set up for surgery so I didn't have to wait for them to call me and set it up later.

Dr. Blackburn is great. I'm a nurse so my standards are high. He never appears rushed, he's very good about explaining exactly what's going on, exactly what he plans to do about it, and provides pros and cons without needing to be prompted. One of the best physicians I've interacted with over the years in terms of his apparent caring about and connecting to his patients. I honestly feel like he listens to me, which is rare in Healthcare these days.
Great Doctor
Dr Blackburn is phenomenal. He is always very attentive, cares, and listens to all concerns. He provides all options for treatment and ensures you understand everything.
