Just sends for bloodwork. Looked at my file, sounds like they just don't like me? Maybe because I'm young and they deal with mostly the elderly? But it's just the same stuff, bloodwork and leave. Even if bloodwork shows something reoccurring, like high cholesterol, they just send a foods list to avoid. Well what if you don't eat anything on this list? What if it's genetic? No answers, just send the list again. They appear judgmental and like they just want to rack up insurance money. They were uncomfortable prescribing me ne... read more
Dr Olivia Smith-Blackwell is not interested in her patients as people. I had an allergic reaction to a blood pressure medication she prescribed so I stopped taking it and told her next appointment. She didn’t give me another script, instead she put non-compliance in my file. I have issues with remembering to do things outside of my routine, so it’s hard for me to do bloodwork and tests at times. Instead of asking me about that she dropped me as a patient without warning. Even a warning that getting dropped was a possibility ... read more
I had a great experience with the doctor for many years- appears to be very attentive and takes time to listen but when it came down for it, she did very little to help me with things I brought up other than sending me for more tests or refusing to do anything unless I come in for yet another appointment. I suggested that I was transferring to a new doctor because they were giving me an hard time about medications and they “closed out” my care and canceled an appointment without notifying me at all. I only found out because ... read more
Went to her for a few years. Constantly sent me for tests. Checkups were never anything more than listening to my chest. My yearly physicals were not much more than that. The nurses would go over my chart and make any changes. They were always writing down the wrong information. I was constantly correcting the doctor when she was reading the charts and going over it with me. Besides weighing me and listening to my chest she never really did much of anything. The last time I saw her I was in the exam room with her and one of ... read more
I want others to be aware that Olivia Smith-Blackwell is unprofessional and truly a doctor who only cares about a paycheck. I received a letter from her office stating that she “could no longer continue my care because of my non-compliance with recommendations for care and treatment.” Mind you, I am 33 years old, had an ECG in her office and was told back in February at my first visit that I was okay by her office and told by the office that “having an abnormal heartbeat is normal for many people, I wouldn’t be too concerned... read more
Was very sick over a weekend so I called Dr SB answering service. She called back and said drink tea with honey and lemon and when I told her I had difficulty breathing she said i don't know what to tell you and hung up!! I ended up in the ER with pneumonia. The receptionist is rude. No compassion here at all. No empathy.
I am forever grateful to Dr. Smith-Blackwell who allowed me in 2003 to take my father Albert Blachowicz back to Florida when social workers wanted to transfer him from a hospital to a nursing home. He lived another year and half until he died May 1, 2005 three weeks short of 100 in full command of his mental capacity, A woman of intelligence and compassion who personifies the best in medical practice. I commend her most highly.
Absolute worse office I have ever been too. Disregard your complaints, staff never reaches back to you, everyone has a condescending tone, the front desk worker is so miserable makes the sick sicker just a disgrace of a health care office zero sympathy or respect.
If I could leave ZERO stars I would. Dr SB was my mother's pc doctor and is absolutely the worst excuse for a healthcare provider-please do not take any elderly patients to her. She was condescending and didn't even listen to my mom's responses; she talked right over her. That is why I went to every appt. You may wonder why we did not change doctors, but my mom was 89 and her generation of patients do not "question" drs. Dr. SB is more interested in having her patients come to the office for EVERY conceivable reason to charg... read more
