David J Blackman, DDS

Been coming to see Dr Blackman for about a year now. Service has been great. Staff is very accommodating. Dr Blackman is straight forward and does not pressure to have work done.

My family has been going to Blackman & Bliss (Dr. Blackman in particular, though I myself have had Dr. Bliss on occasion — he is also great) since the late 80’s when we moved to this area.
I have seen Dr. Blackman and staff for years for all of my dental needs, cleanings, fillings — even the heavier stuff like root canals, crowns, and oral surgery (Dr. Smulson comes in for wisdom teeth removal and heavy oral surgery) back in 2006.
Just this past week, I have had a cleaning and three days later, 3 fillings done by Dr. Blackman and his assistants. This past week alone, my experiences couldn’t be more pleasing!
From the moment I walked in the office (I was actually several minutes early BOTH TIMES), the desk staff was very friendly, and told me Dr. Blackman would be right with me. Literally not more than «2» minutes after I sat down, one of the hygienists was ready for me. This is very incredible — especially in many doctor’s offices (and I have been to many with my bad migraine condition) where you have to «wait and wait and wait» in the waiting room, then in the doctor’s room, and so on. A+ for this.
The procedures on my cleaning and then fillings a few days later BOTH started immediately — i.e. no ‘waiting another 15 minutes’ (like I described above at other doctors offices, as is usually customary). I was very pleased.
I was a bit worried about the novocaine shots — sometimes they can hurt (depending on where certain nerves may be in the gum line) — this time they were not bad at all and Dr. Blackman was very gentle about the procedure, and the hygienist was very nice and comforting at that moment and during the entire procedure in fact. For the entire almost 2 hours, I was mostly very comfortable — both Dr. Blackman and the hygienist were very accomodating, friendly, and talkative throughout everything — which made the procedure that much easier!
Dr. Blackman and staff are very thorough with everything and another BIG PLUS — I must mention — is that him and his staff will work with you with small payment plans if you need for any periods of time. My insurance recently changed and I am ‘in between’ carriers, and I did not want to switch dentists because I am so used to going to Blackman & Bliss and like them so much — so his staff was very happy to let me do my own payment plans with them — they are very flexible with everything if you are just open and honest with them and talk to them about your situation — Heather and all of the others are very friendly, thorough, and will answer all of your emails!
I was VERY PLEASED with my services with Dr. Blackman and his staff this past week and my family and I have been throughout the many years — and would without a DOUBT recommend him and his firm for any kind of dental needs!
5 stars! Thank you Dr. Blackman, Dr. Bliss, and all the hygienists and staff!
