I think he has a great connection with patients… I like his non-invasive approach. I felt that he connected with me and never felt rushed during the appointment. I would definitely recommend him for any spine related problems.
No parking
He is aggressively trying to find the source of my problems. X-rays and MRI then he will knew what needs to be done. Our first visit so I don’t know him well but very comfortable with him
He explained what was happening with my back, and possible future treatment
Great Dr professional, listen to my problems he was friendly and knew how to help me.
very respectful.. dont see that much anymore... feel bad he couldnt help me thou..
I didn’t feel like he did much in the office and charged a fortune for it. Not very personable I felt
Dr Hawkins is awesome! He’s a very good surgeon!
Best Ortho Doctor ever! If you need an Ortho Surgeon for your back, this is the man to see. Compassionate, knowledgeable & he listens to his patients. I’d give him 10 stars if I could!
He is an awesome surgeon! He talked us through what will happen during the surgery, and the recovery process. His direction was clear, and he was very attentive to our concerns.
