The best vascular Dr. and facility in Ga and SC. We drive 3 hours just to see Dr. Wixon and his staff.

Professional, friendly, on time. What more is there?
Very knowledgeable caring doctor.
Very very helpful !
Great Dr but only saw his pa Pattie very good
His reputation was accurate so I was very pleased with Dr Wixon and his staff He is a keeper for sure
He has my trust. He earned my trust. I have been to many vascular doctors in the past 30 years, and no one comes close to his knowledge or abilities. During one emergency a blood clot in my leg dictated an amputation. Doc Wixon chose to take on the tedious steps to remove the clot and save my leg. How can you top that? Joe Pierce 843 706 3294
Excellent courteous
Best doctor in the traditional sense. Great patient/doctor demeanor, listens carefully, makes recommendations, and you leave knowing you were in good hands. He performed a procedure on me about 5 years ago and made my quality of life so much better.
