Such an exceptionally kind, caring, and empathetic physician. As a physician myself, I have encountered many as both a colleague and as a patient throughout my 35+ years in practice. Dr. James Black and staff are wonderful!

A great surgeon. He fixed a vertical hernia, used the same incision I already had from bariatric surgery. He did an apron removal, liposuction on lower flanks, waist and upper buttocks. I will be 53 soon. With all the weight loss and age I’m ready for the girls to be lifted they are going south. I highly recommend Dr.Black.

I am A plastic surgeon and I had the opportunity to observe Dr. Black operate on my aunt who had An emergency. He was so reassuring and he was so smooth in the operating room but he deserves many compliments from a colleague like myself. All the plastic surgeons in the world I don’t think anyone could’ve done a better job on her he is truly a treasure and his patients are very fortunate like my aunt

Dr. Black was the best doctor I could have asked for! He checked up on me in person twice on the day of surgery, and at least once a day for couple days following. I've never had a doctor care as much as Dr. Black did. 100% recommend to anyone

My experience with Dr. James Black was Horrible. All this doctor wanted was my insurance money. He did not care about me at all. He did a lot of stuff to my breast that I did not need, just to get more money from my insurance.. doctor Black is a liar and I trusted this doctor with my breast surgery and he damaged my breast . I've been living a nightmare sense he did my surgery 2 years ago. Because of him I haven't been able to find another doctor that I could trust to fix my Breast. What he did to me is a long story, but all I can say is that he cut my stomach skin to put on my breast when that was not needed so now I have a breast that looks ugly and a scar on my stomach with lumpy dead tissue because of what he did, there's so much more to my situation, but all i want to do is, to warn people about him. I only gave him 1 star because it wouldn't let me post without a rating! He deserves nothing!
