Patient Reviews
Jun 17, 2022
Kind caring compassionate. Office staff top notch and exemplary. Both the doctor and his staff are accomodating and kind, prompt and professional. I have been his patient for over 8 years and I have consistenly received nothing but the best from Dr. Dobson and his staff. Some of the negative reviews are simply not true. Having had many surgeries myself, I had a corneal abrasion elsewhere and it was the anesthesiologists/recovery room staff that were at fault. It had nothing to do with the surgery. I read the 3 negative reviews, and wonder at their accuracy. Dr. Dobson has excellent bedside manner and is never dismissive and always answers each and every question. He explains things throoughly and knows his craft. He is so kind and has never made anyone feel humiliated with anything. I had my entire rectum and colon removed and have a bag, and he is the kindest warmest individual I have everr met as a doctor.
