Davis Vicki Blackmon MD

Dr. Davis is AMAZING and for someone to give her a poor review they must be a unhappy person who doesn’t value QUALITY, PERSONALIZED care from there physician.
You may wait a few minutes longer than other doctors but I promise you, you will receive excellent patient care from a MD. If you have a question or a problem after your visit, she takes your calls. If you are in the hospital she reviews the reports and makes sure you are getting excellent care. I strongly recommend Dr
Davis to all my family and friends

My family selected and was assigned to Dr. Davis as a PCP who was accepting new patients. When we went to make well-​care exams her office indicated they could not take us at this time (hmm?) but we could be seen under a Nurse Practitioner operating in an alternate office under her practice ~ so we did. That NP has since gone out of business and Dr. Davis’ office is refusing to acknowledge us as patients of her office and refusing to resolve an issue with a prescription written by the NP. Again, keeping in mind, Dr. Davis referred us to this NP and as being affiliated with her practice and who she has benefited financially from that relationship ~ but is refusing to acknowledge us as patients of her practice and refusing to help resolve our prescription issue. Instead stating we are not patients of her practice, she is not taking our insurance (even though she still appears in the Providers under this specific plan with the insurance company, even though we were assigned to her and she receives compensation for that, even though the insurance still shows her as taking new patients and even though we were seeing her affiliated NP), she will not assist with resolving the prescription issue and we will have to go find a new physician, get assigned to them, be seen by them, transfer our records to them… and when that is all done however long that may take, get the prescription issue resolved.
WOW! Somehow I just don’t see any of the many layers of the above as fitting into a caring, ethical practice, nor via various applications of the Hippocratic Oath:
«The health of my patient will be my first consideration»
«I will remember that I remain a member of society, with special obligations to all my fellow human beings, those sound of mind and body as well as the infirm.»
«I will remember that there is art to medicine as well as science, and that warmth, sympathy, and understanding may outweigh the surgeon’s knife or the chemist’s drug.»
«I will remember that I do not treat a fever chart, a cancerous growth, but a sick human being, whose illness may affect the person’s family and economic stability. My responsibility includes these related problems, if I am to care adequately for the sick.»

I absolutely love Dr. Davis! She sees my whole family and is the only one i trust with my children. I havent ever had to wait long to get in to see her, but if I did I would wait. I have had so many bad experiences with «quack in the shack» doctors misdiagnosing things with my children, id wait however long it took to get in with Dr. Davis. Last year my son was sick so, being in a rush, we took him to one of the e-​care type places close to the home in McKinney. They quickly diagnosed him with an upper respiratory infection (seems when they dont know thats what they call it) they gave us a script for some antibiotics and sent us on our way… Well, my son got worse pretty rapidly so we made the trip to Frisco to see Dr. Davis and found out they prescribed the wrong stuff. He had PNEUMONIA! Dr Davis gave him the proper medicine and he was better fast.
Ive never felt like Dr. Davis was rushed in any way. I have lots of questions and she answers them all. She knows the answers because she is a real Doctor… no nonsense and straight to the point, just the way I want a Doctor to be. If I want to be entertained I’ll go to a show!
I highly recommend Dr. Davis!

I had an appointment for just a general physical. The first 30 minutes or so that I was there were great. The staff was extremely warm and friendly. The nurse practitioner brought me into the examining room very promptly and she took her time to break the ice, get to know me, make me feel comfortable, and be personable. After she left, things went downhill from there. I waited in that examining room for 45 MINUTES before Dr. Davis came in. And when she came in, she displayed a very poor bedside manor. After the physical was complete, I had no doubts that she is a good doctor – she definitely knows her stuff and all of her years of experience are very apparent. However, she was not very good at interacting with me. Basically, I think she overbooks on purpose – knowing that some of her patients are waiting – so that she can see as many patients as possible. She takes the quantity over quality approach. Not the best approach for a doctor with a private practice.

I’m happy that Unilocal is also a place where medical providers can be reviewed because other patient’s experiences are incredibly important to keep in mind when choosing a provider.
I’ve only had a couple of bad medical experiences that really stick out in my mind, and Dr. Blackmon is certainly on that list.
Her waiting room properly sets the tone for your experience with her. This doctor has tons of people at any given time waiting with at least three or four pharmaceutical reps getting bused in an out of there. It feels like everyone is a number, and she’s trying to get as many through the system as possible. That attitude has spread to the staff as well. Anytime I was there, they were caught up in personal business including buying handbags from a woman selling them (I think she’s from a neighboring shop).
I went to see this doctor because I came back from an trip out of town with what I found out to be walking pneumonia. When I was taken to an exam room, I was surprised by how many rooms that doctor had. She was incredibly busy. This woman came in the room and began to look at my chart. She took as a stethoscope, and do the whole «take a deep breath» thing. She looked at my throat, did the rest her steps, told me I’d needed a cortisone shot, and walked out of the door. I had no clue who that woman was. This was my first visit and she never introduced herself. She didn’t ask me any questions; she just decided on a remedy and left. Another woman came in the office, told me to roll up my sleeve, and gave me an injection. I didn’t know what was going on, but I’ve never had an office experience like this.
Because of how sick I was I could barely talk, and tears started rolling down my face. I could have been in a coma and it wouldn’t have made a difference in the flow of the visit. I wasn’t involved in the visit at all, and she didn’t empower me to be a part of my own medical care. When the first woman came back in the room she asked me what was wrong. I told her that I have no clue who she was, that she didn’t ask me a single question, and I’ve just been injected with something that I was only informed of its name. She didn’t tell me what it did or any information about it. She apologized and said that she was in fact Dr. Blackmon. She said she didn’t introduce herself because most people know her. I’m of the opinion that if she didn’t know me and my chart states that it’s my first visit, that she’s better off just introducing herself on the off chance that I’m not most people. She provided a little more information about what illness I had and why I received the injection. She seemed concerned about my bad experience, but she still had to be on the move considering the long line of people waiting for her.
I had to follow up with her a week later and I received another cortisone shot. Up until now I could have given her practice three stars, but two cortisone shots in a week took another star. After I received that shot I learned that multiple cortisone shots should not be given in such a short time frame.
Cons:
Absolute worst bedside manner
Uncaring attitude unless something happens that breaks her out of that zone (like breaking down crying)
The practice seems to only care about how many patients and pharmaceutical reps they can squeeze into any given day
Unprofessional behavior from the staff
Pros:
She’s a doctor so if you’re in a critical situation and absolutely no one else can see you — go there to hold you over until you can make an appointment with a caring physician
I wanted to like this doctor because her location was perfect for me at the time. I’m normally easy to please in medical settings, and as long as the doctor has a decent bedside manner and allows me to be included in my own health care, I’m happy. I was very disappointed in my two experiences with this office. The issues seem to be embedded in the culture derived from their «get ‘em in, get ‘em out» mission.
