Today, Dr. Blackwell and his team at the Center for Orthopaedic and Sports Medicine treat an array of orthopaedic injuries, including ACL tears, fractures, sports-related injuries, foot and ankle issues, hand and wrist problems, and much more.
The state-of-the-art facilities at the Center for Orthopaedic and Sports Medicine are outfitted with the most advanced equipment available today so that Dr. Blackwell can treat your injuries and help you get back to the activities you love.
