Dr. Wixon is great at explaining and answering questions. He is extremely great at what he does. The gals in the OR are wonderful Too!! They are patient, kind and have great sense of humor.
I was thankful for the time he spent with me and the suggestions he made regarding my suspected condition. I felt like I was finally given a correct diagnosis.
Very positive visit Look forward to having a procedure done in the near future Thank you
Nice man. Good bedside manner. Went to great lengths to explain what should be happening if radiologist interpretation of my ultra sound results was correct, which it wasn’t.
Staff is great
The best doctor I have ever met
Dr Wixon was thorough and attentive. I felt listened to and treated with respect.
Blessed to have him as my surgeon.
Happy Thanksgiving
Best doctor ever!
