Dr. Norman Dozier, MD

NORMAN DOIZER PA IS RUDE AND DOESN'T LISTEN TO HIS PATIENTS. IF I QUESTION ANYTHING HE GETS MAD AND YELLS AND DOESN'T WANT TO HELP YOU ANYMORE. REFUSES TO ANSWER QUESTIONS AND ACTS LIKE YOU ARE AN INCONVENIENCE. PLEASE FIND ANOTHER PAIN MANAGEMENT DR. SAVE YOURSELF TIME AND TROUBLE.

Dr. Dozier is a very professional Dr. He and his staff have always went above and beyond to help me any way they can. Dr. Dozier listens and talks with you so that you understand why you are in whatever pain you are having and then explains the options to help you. He is very strict about his medicine protocols and I for one am thankful for that….. He takes his job very seriously and cares about your pain. Great Dr and Great nurses …. I am thankful for the relief he has given me .

I have had chronic back pain ever since an accident that caused me to have a fusion and develop arthritic sciatic pain. Dr Dozier has never listened to me and all he wants to do is inject my back with steroids, which never helped. As a nurse I also know this causes additional problems. I would never recommend him

I've been a devoted patient of Dr. Dozier since 2006. But if weren't for him/pain mngmnt, I'd still be in untouchable pain. I hve lupus + a whole'lotta other conditions tht causes pain, but the lupus sle is the main 1. I had options to go to another pain mgmt dr, who prescribes anything of my choice, w/o any questions. I didn't/dont want a "yes man" & to be given whtevr fancies me. I need a Dr who actually treats my pain, my underline reasoning for my pain & to treat tht. I dont want a Dr who allows their patients to hve use them like a candy dispensary. Dr Dozier/his entire team are the most compassionate, has patience as they're dealing with ea individual, instead of dealing with us like we're all cut frm the same cookie cutter type of treatment. Every Dr, nurse, receptionist@their office, truly cares for our wellbeing & doing all they can to mke sure our needs are met. Dr. Dozier has given me a quality of life again, truly a blessing for me, my fam which my lupus has chngd them too!

I live 90 miles from Abilene. I couldn't find a good pain specialist where I live so after many requests for a referral elsewhere, my GP referred me to a neurologist in Abilene and he referred me to Dr. Dozier. My first visit was very informative and helpful. I was able to get injections in my back that day then every 3 months after. This has helped me tremendously. I have so many issues with my spine, lower back pain, sciatica in both hips, boney outgrowth and more which has gotten worse over the years since 2005 when I injured my back hauling rock and sand from my driveway to my back yard. My pain is constant. If not for Dr. Dozier, I would probably be bedridden. I am 71 but I like to be active and have always been active. I pray Dr. Dozier doesn't retire anytime soon. My prior pain specialist in San Antonio decided to retire early and losing him was hard. I'd hate to have to go through that again.

Dr. Dozier is a very busy doctor. There is a reason for that. He thinks outside the box and does whatever he needs to to help his patients. He and his Physician's assistant are the first doctors that I have gone to that didn't make me feel guilty that I have back pain and needed pain pills. He implanted a neuro-stimulator in may back and it has helped me tremendously.

Very rude, told me he couldnt do anything to help me any longer.

Several years ago I went to see Dr. Dozier with back issues. I also have Fibromyalgia. Withour checking any records, doing an xray, etc. he came in to the room and said, "I can't help you"! I thought I was dreaming. What kind of MD is this??? Since then I have an MRI showing that I have disk problems on lower right side of my back. The Disk is so bad I cannot sleep or lay on my right side. I heard about a procedure Dr. Dozier was doing that made it possible for a friend of mine to quit taking pain meds. I ask my doctor to refer me once again hoping that he would take me. My referral was denied and I called Dr. Dozier's office to see why. They told me that I have Fibromyalgia and it didn't make any difference if I had disk problems. Dr. Dozier denied me and that was it. I am shocked that a Pain Doctor would be allowed to deny help to people that need it. Tells me a lot about his character.

Not likely to recommend. At all. He was condescending, and seemed very exasperated and impatient. Did not explain things in language that the average person could understand, did not listen, and either cut off or dismissed questions. The whole experience was very frustrating, especially after his assistant seemed to give such hope. His assistant was very nice, and seemed like she had actual concern and interest in the patient, whereas he did not.

Friendly, supportive, and informative staff. All questions/concerns answered. Wait time was average compared to other doctor visits. My back pain was relieved with one injection. My grandmother, my mother, and myself are all patients of Dr Dozier and I highly recommend him and his office to others needing pain management for back problems.

Have been a patient of Dozier's for over 20 years. I really wish I could give him 5 stars but I can't. He has gotten where he is too busy to listen to his patients. When trying to get an appointment you might as well be asking for gold. They are condescending and unhelpful. I was sent to another doctor for a treatment and was told Dozier would not respond with information and then refused all recommendations from referring physician. Can I give negative stars?

Excellent staff Excellent bed died manner
