Richard E Blackwell, MD

If your body is doing really weird things and you need answers, go to Dr. Blackwell! As an endocrinologist, he can find answers that a typical gynecologist won’t think to look for. This past Friday, Dr. Blackwell and his lovely assisting doctor, discovered two fibroids in my uterus. Fibroids are mostly benign tumors, but they get big and painful. You must have them surgically removed. Erin, his assistant, is just lovely and empathetic. Everyone is so thorough; they took notes on everything I said. My husband is especially impressed. Everyone’s very kind at UAB’s Women & Infants Center. I even got to see these fibroid f***ers on screen. They did an ultrasound right then and there. I didn’t have to schedule another appointment.
I haven’t seen such attentive care regarding female issues before… this is the only place I can recommend to women looking for anwers to those scary questions. Seriously, look up UAB’s «shopping mall» of doctors. They will find answers that other clinics may overlook.
Back in January, I had a local Trussville doctor’s office dismiss everything and throw a diet sheet at me. Anyone looking at me can tell that something hasn’t been right for a while. My lower stomach is swollen but tight. I found Dr. Blackwell via a recommendation from my best friend. She begged me to make an appointment, and I did. Now I have my surgery scheduled at UAB’s Outpatient Center. And you can bet I’ll be Unilocaling this journey the entire way!
