Dr. Blackman is a very knowlesgeable person, but when it comes to giving the right advice for the certain situation and being on time, he is unreliable. I am a client of his and i have been for years but he is always at least 30 minutes late for his appointments, and he has some problems with letting the kids and youth he councils actually talk about issues. He is found to be very rushed during sessions, and it almost seems as if he isnt trying to get to the bottom of the problem, but correct it right away with meds or sending youth to the hospital

I saw Dr. Blackman for an Indepdendent Medical Examination. I suffered a serious work related injury supported by organic findings which resulted in the loss of my career. Over the course of many years I was diagnosed by several treating Physicians in addition to more than one treating Psychiatrist as suffering from severe Depression. After Dr. Blackman spent an enormous amount of time by talking about topics that had absolutely no relevance to my file he offered a diagnosis of “Factitious Disorder”. I was absolutely devastated by this bogus diagnosis that no other treating Physician other than a WCB doctor has ever thrown my way. He has absolutely no idea of the emotional impact that this has caused, nor does he care! This is well supported by other reviews in addition to other websites which I would encourage all to read.
Mayo Clinic definition:
Factitious disorder is a serious mental disorder in which someone deceives others by appearing sick, by purposely getting sick or by self-injury. Factitious disorder symptoms can range from mild (slight exaggeration of symptoms) to severe (previously called Munchausen syndrome).
I wonder how many other injured workers have been humiliated with a similar diagnosis provided by this unprofessional doctor who has been performing Independent Medical Examinations on behalf of the WCB for many years? He is definitely your man if you are an organization willing to pay for his “ highly unethical” and profitable services.

Very difficult to understand; he mumbles and he speaks too quietly. He’s also kind of creepy. He paced around the waiting room stealing glances at me, and then randomly told me that I was pretty when I went to go see him. He didn’t do much. He talked about stuff that I swear had nothing to do with psychiatry. I left there without anything useful or helpful to take back with me. He is just all around a bad doctor, He would do a lot better in a career field that doesn’t involve living people. Please do not go see him.

My daughter saw this dr years ago.. experience was traumatic. Sent her to the children’s mental heath at the Royal Alex after overdosing her on her adhd meds. She was seeing hair growing out of her finger tips. 9 year old on such a cocktail of meds. I was a young mom so I trusted him. Quick to prescribe without really helping. I eventually weened her off the meds and We never returned. So if meds are what you want, give him a call. He is your man

He’s very difficult to understand. He mumbles a lot. He talked about strange things like the natzis to my son? My son hated going to him & we didn’t find his efforts helped at all.

this doctor doesn’t talk, he mumbles …. as for the explanations when asking a question, you better get them the first time, because they won’t come back !
his strategy seems mostly based on trials & errors, without any real analysis of the results …
