Dr. Black is the worst doctor I have ever been to. I came into his office and could barely walk, it was warm outside and I was dressed for winter. I knew I was hypothyroid but another specialist sent me to Dr. Black. He ran a boat load of tests (where he makes most of his money) - nothing showed up and when I called the phone lab line he responded "patient needs psych evaluation as she claims she is taking meds when she clearly is not" - he never even listened to what I told him. I was taking the meds but I was vomiting 10-15 times I day for over 2 months. Staff is rude, unhelpful and all they do is talk about their weekend past or coming up.Very unprofessional. Dr. Black was also rude to my elderly Mum who was with me. First he said "you are not my patient I do not have to answer your questions" and then he said "why are you even here". I told him to take his degree and shove it! Never went back.

Worst office staff that could ever exist. Sadly, they are reason enough to not go to this practice.

Dr. Black is THE MOST THROUGH Dr. I've EVER SEEN. Each time I go in, he'll do a blood test that's 3-pages long. Dr. Black uncovered 3-other conditions I'm now being treated for. If you want to see a Doctor that *TRULY* uses the Scientific Method to try and uncover what is wrong with you (and will do ALL KINDS of blood test to see what ails you...THIS IS YOUR DOCTOR). The Bad: 1-RUDE!!!! Office Staff (worse than the Post Office). 2-Blood Test results take a FULL MONTH to get back--"21 Business Days" to get back. HOWEVER--I cannot sress enough how GREAT of a Doctor Dr. Black is. The only "negative" is he's always EXTREMELY BUSY--and he talks VERY FAST--so you might (seriousy) want to take notes during your appointment so ou can remember everything. He's GREAT--he'll explain how a Drug works--what to expect in your Body, etc.etc. Never met a Doctor that seemed to care as much for his Patients as Dr. Black.

Dr. Black is wonderful, but his staff is HORRID. This is the MAIN reason I am switching to another Endocrinologist.

DR Black is great but I have to agree with the other comments that the front office staffis very rude and abrupt.

Dr Black does have a great deal of knowledge. The two ladies that answer the phones are rude. I have almost reached the point that I would stop going to avoid them. You have to wait too long to get back your test results. It was not always like this. I hope that during 2009, he will work with his staff to provide help and support to the patiens.

So far I am very pleased with Dr. Black AND his staff. I think people have a tendency to treat medical office staff very rudely THEMSELVES, so don't be surprised when you reap what you sow! Hush your mouth and put a smile on your face when you're talking to his office staff. He is worth any perceived "rudeness." He is the ONLY doctor I've been to in Atlanta who has listened to me and actually helped me diagnose my issue. He is great! Highly recommended.

Dr. Black is extremely knowledgeable in his field. My wife was referred to him with fatigue symptoms so severe, she could barely leave the bed. Dr. Black performed numerous tests on her; he even paid for one himself when Cigna would not! The results confirmed his suspicions that she was sufferring from hypopituitarism. I would recommend Dr. Black to anyone with endocrine related problems- he's the best!
