Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

He is very through about his results and other options before he does his surgery. He explains everything to the patients and answers every question the best he can. He has the best bedside manner of any doctor I have been to.

Very kind and informative
There was a very short wait at each visit. Dr. Dickson explained my procedure very well. He personally called me twice to give me results of procedure. My grandson was “my driver” and note taker. He spelled the words for him of the type of growth I have and looked at page to be sure he had other information written correctly. He was very attentive to both myself and grandson and ask him questions such as where he was in school and his major etc. At each visit he tried to put me at ease by having a “little chat time” before starting the medical discussion.

Dr. Dixon was the only doctor in the area willing to take on my surgery, and he did an amazing job. One of the few people I truly trust with my health/future. Both he and his team have communicated very well throughout and after.
