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.

The best Doctor!
I have been a patient of Dr. Hixson since he opened his practice in Smyrna. He is a very thorough and efficient doctor who has mastered being busy but always focusing on his patients with kindness and compassion. I live over an hour away from his practice now but will keep him as my Doctor as long as he will have me. He is the best!

We have used Dr. Hixson shortly after he began working at Stone Crest. My recent visit was a routine six month check. He is an excellent doctor and has always been able to determine what to do to solve my various medical problems. When he felt I needed to see a specialist didn't hesitate to recommend that. I feel that if it were not for him I probably wouldn't alive today.

I made a non regular request for an appointment. I was seen within 1 1/2 hours. My wait was only about 5 minutes and I was seen by Dr. Hixson within 15 minutes. He listened to my symptoms and was able to diagnose and prescribe medication. I was very pleased.

I visited Dr Hixon for a routine annual check-up and only expected to deal with the RN. To my pleasant surprise the good doctor took time out to discuss health matters with me and what I could and should do to get to healthier weight without sounding judgmental. Dr Hixon even provided sources to look up to treat my recurring tendonitis without having to have PT or surgery. I am never disappointed when I visit Dr Hixon and his staff. They are always friendly no matter how busy or time of the day. I highly recommend anyone to have Dr Hixon as their physician.

I have been seeing Dr. Hixson and his staff at Stonecrest Medical in Smyrna, TN. since 2006. His office is both dedicated and knowledgeable when it comes to my healthcare and my well-being. It’s great to have an office with the upmost professionalism. They not only take care of my current situations but they also look to the future to make sure I can stay as healthy as possible. I would give Dr. Hixson and his staff 100 stars if it were allowed. I’m very fortunate to have this Doctor and staff. 100 ??

Follow-up visit as cold still lingering. Dr. Hixson listened, re-evaluated and prescribed medicine that is already having an impact a day later. Sincerely appreciate the professional, courteous treatment I receive each time I have to visit StoneCrest Family Physicians.
