Dr. Hawkins spent time talking with us and explaining what we could do next. We went to him for a 2nd opinion and he was kind, thoughtful and knowledgeable. So glad to have his care!
He is a great doctor.
We appreciated his time, which was necessary, and his knowledge and encouragement.
My wife and I, both, have had back surgery by Dr. Hawkins. We wouldn't want to have anyone else do the work. He is a fine and reputable Orthopedic physician and surgeon.
very professional listened to concerns and worked out a plan
Thank you Dr. Hawkins.
Dr. Hawkins was thorough and detailed when explaining my surgery and recovery process. Very friendly, easy to talk to. My surgery went very well and I feel great!
I would recommend Dr. Hawkins to anyone who has back problems excellent surgeon, communicates, and let you know exactly what’s going on at all times
I don’t know where to start. This doctor was fantastic. He explained everything that was going on with my neck and the nerves (pinched). Answered every question I asked patiently. He explained the entire process along the way up to, and if needed, surgery. I feel absolutely confident with Dr. Hawkins doing the surgery if I end up needing it.
My initial visit went extremely well. Even though my symptoms don't lead to a clear cut diagnosis, Dr Hawkins laid out a clear plan of attack and left me feeling in very good hands.
