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.

Highly Recommend
Dr. Hixson and his team are excellent. I went in for 36 rounds of radiation. Dr. Hixson explains everything in a way I could understand it. The doctor sees you once a week during your treatment. From the first time I saw him until radiation started, he was caring and professional. His team of Carly, Shannon, and Chad were top notch in setting me up each time for radiation. Jessica takes care of everyone as you come in. I would highly recommend Dr. Hixson and the staff in Fairhope for your radiation needs during cancer.

Dr Hixson is a compassionate and caring doctor who is very knowledable, highly professional and listens to his patients health concerns. When I experienced problems with my skin, Dr Hixson put together a different treatment plan that allowed my skin to heal but keep me on track with my total tratments.

I have been very impressed with Dr. Hixson's ability to listen and focus on my problem. Somehow, he noticed the reduction of swelling that I had without looking at previous pictures. He relates well as a friend and doctor. I would highly recommend him to anybody.
