He is a wonderful surgeon a very nice person. .
My reason for an appointment was for an order for knee braces. I feel the cost was run up taking X-rays again. Because of a heart problem I can’t have knee surgery and that’s all he’s interested in.
Rude and not very helpful
Great doctor great surgeon has brought me much pain relief thank you!!!
Very good doctor, and he listen to me.
I believe the phrase "nothing to be done" was said four times. I pushed to explore my issues and potential options further, and he asked me if I thought an MRI would be a good idea, but I am not a doctor. So I began asking questions that would narrow down if it was a good idea or not. Then he discouraged any further steps due to potential insurance issues, but said I could try.
Took the time to explain things to me.
I am always impressed by the quality of care I receive at this practice. And , the office staff is terrific!
Dr. Dodson is thorough and professional.. He follows through to make sure his medical plan is progressing in the right direction. H
Wonderful experience. Knowledgeable staff!
