Blackham Dana MD

Couldn’t say enough positive things about Dr. Dana Blackham– really good doc. He was extremely helpful thru my missed miscarriage earlier this year and gave me a hug when we saw the heartbeat for this pregnancy. If you are looking for a doctor who cares about his patients then look no further. It is a small mom and pop shop so you get the personal attention you need.
He calls me back pretty quickly with test results (although he uses NW Hospital so you can call them directly for the results).

Be aware, dusty old office, no e-​mail. no follow ups. i called to ask for my test results been, mailed, no answer the place is a mess, papers with personal data all over the place.

I have endometriosis. Going to doctors is a normal part of my life. Seeing a doctor that cares or can offer any sort of advice is rare. Dr. Blackham was the first doctor I’ve ever seen specialist or not, that offered me any sort of solution or pain relief.

Absolutely wonderful labor experience we could have asked for. Great pre-​care and his personal attention was incredible. Thank you for bringing our little one into the world.

I loved Dr. Blackham. I found myself in his office, prior to an emergency surgery due to an ectopic pregnancy. He was kind, compassionate, informative, and genuine. Would definitely recommend him!

I love the man and his receptionist (s). he spent nearly an hour with me on my first visit and addressed all my concerns. I’m still a bit young to have children, but let me just say that I hope he does not retire any time soon! His office is not a flashy as most, but that is what I love about it!

Look, I’m not going to lie to all of you good Unilocalers, I’m mess down there. I have issues on top of my issues and was dismissed and talked down to by three different doctors before finding Dr. Dana Blackham. (He’s a dude, by the way. The staff would be smart to mention that to new patients when they schedule their first appointment to avoid the awkward «Oh…uh…» moment I experienced).
His office is tiny, he’s the only practitioner and he has no nurse. His staff comprises of two receptionists that share the duties on different days of the week. He will meet with you the first time in his cozy little office. You will then be offered a «mumu», a cover that is elasticized on the top and fully covers you, bottom and all. He has covers on the stirrups, keeps his speculums warmed (what a difference that makes) and does his exams with caring and most importantly, a sense of humor.
He took my concerns seriously, and trusted that I knew what I was talking about when it came to what I felt was abnormal pain. I had three other doctors (all female by the way) tell me that my pain was «normal». He told me that if it was bad enough to bring it up to him, and if it affected my quality of life, it wasn’t normal.
When I had trouble conceiving my second child he explained what the probable causes were and how we could fix them non-​invasively and without harsh drugs.
When I WAS able to get pregnant he worked with me on natural ways to avoid tearing/​episiotomy (if you don’t know, don’t ask). He listened to the concerns I had left from the birth experience of my first child and was supportive of my plans to have a drug free birth, even after I found myself in a situation doctor’s generally prescribe drugs for. Also he delivers 99% of his patients himself, which if you’ve ever been to a larger practice you know how rare this is.
The best? After he delivered my daughter, he brought his guitar in and sang us folk songs. It was a bit surreal, but effin’ awesome!
