Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Rotator cuff tear
Dr Dodson was to the point and confirmed the need to repair a torn rotator cuff. Gave overview of procedure and recovery expectations.Late afternoon appointment resulted in some delay before being seen but that should be expected that time of day. So far, overall, I am pleased with care provided on this issue and look forward to having it repaired and commence recovery period.

He was not concerned about me at all.
I felt more like cattle that he was running thru his office than a patient with individual needs. I was told about other patients that were worse off than me and happier with their results than I am. I guess bc I still have pain, and although I had a clean break that did not need surgery, per his assessment, I still have a crooked wrist By far the worse experience with a Dr I have ever had in my 65 years of life.
