Dr. Linda Blackwell graduated from Case Western Reserve in 1977. She obtained her Doctor of Medicine Degree in 1981 from the University of Missouri. Dr. Blackwell completed an internship in Pediatrics and a Residency in Family Practice at the University of Missouri in 1988. She completed a two-year fellowship in Geriatric Medicine at Oregon Health Science Center in 1990. Dr. Blackwell is a Board Certified Family Practice Physician who has been in private practice, serving Bellingham,WA since 1990. Dr. Blackwell is married to Dr. David Goldman, a Neurosurgeon, and she has three children.

Dr. Blackwell believes that Family Practice offers something special. Because the family physician can see the whole family, we can be more supportive and have more insight into the interactions between family members that affect health and disease. I believe that it's important as a family physician to care for the whole person. I do not perform surgery or obstetrics. However, I enjoy taking care of newborns, visiting the new parents in the hospital, and helping to guide my patients to other good physicians in our community.
