Great manner Easy to understand.
Dr Wixon is the most exceptional doctor. You know from the moment he shakes your hand that he cares. He is just top notch at handling vascular issues, and the best with wound issues. And he sets the tone for everyone in the office … they are all superior.
Hard to say as I didn’t actually see him…after waiting 45 mins, a nurse practioner came in to tell me that I couldn’t see him until after September!!!
Very thorough. Explained everything well.
