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.

Dr. Dodson was incredible throughout my daughter’s tonsillectomy journey. He was caring, knowledgeable, and took the time to answer all of my questions, no matter how small. He made sure I understood every step of the surgery and was always available, even after hours, to address any post-op concerns. His thoroughness and kindness made the entire experience much easier to navigate. Additionally, his staff was fantastic, providing excellent support. I highly recommend Dr. Dodson – he truly goes above and beyond for his patients.

Amazing Experience! – Jan 25, 2025

Left to figure it out on my own
I have been suffering classic sinusitis for almost 30 years. I finally became so consistently sick, my GP recommended I go see an allergist. Found the most wonderful allergist in town. My symptoms haven’t improved as much with weekly injections as he thought they should by now. He said I have classic signs of sinusitis and should see an ENT. Dr Dodson spent very little time with me but reco’d a CT scan. He assured me he would get back to me as I told him I’m bed bound most days. I received the results and waited and waited. I called and pressed for word as I am so sick. I got a call from a nurse and was told, ‘nothing to see here’ basically. No recommendation for what to do next, any other type of doctor, nothing! Just nothing. How is this guy allowed to keep treating ppl this way? If you want to be treated like you matter and your symptoms are real, DON’T see Dodson. Maybe some other doctor in his office will be better equipped but it certainly isn’t this guy.

Went to Dr. Dodson for possible sinus infection and headaches 3 years ago. He basically ignored my symptoms, and sent me home saying, "You don't have a sinus infection. Go see a neurologist." Well, after much pain, and seeing a neurologist, who sent me back to an ENT, I finally have a diagnosis. USING DODSON'S REQUESTED CT SCAN from 3 years ago, this new ENT has shown I have a deviated septum and concha bullosa that will likely result in surgery to reduce. My new ENT said it was obvious and "giant." Dr Dodson is impersonal and seems too busy to care.

Dr. Dodson is the most compassionate doctor I have seen in a long time. I have a rare genetic condition and he is certainly an expert! He spent a long time explaining my condition and available options. His staff is so nice and they call you back right away. I recommend him to all my friends and family - if you need an ENT, look no further!!

Took great care of my daughter who needed ear tubes for chronic ear infections. He answered all our questions and reassured us when we had concerns. And we had great results after the surgery. The front office staff is friendly and always try their best to help. I have yet to find a doctor's office that returns calls and responds to requests so promptly.

Dr. Dodson and his staff do not care about their patients. I went in for a standard deviated septum surgery and not only did he not follow up, even after I went in with an infection, but my nose degenerated so now it is worse than before. I can not breath out of one side of my nose because of him. When I called in to try and schedule a follow up, I was told to not bother coming in as I was 'over-reacting' the seriousness of my infection. Now I have to get a second surgery to fix what he ruined.

I felt like they did not really listen to my concerns. Felt like a dollar sign to them. Didnt feel like the doctor actually cared about my health. Wouldn't recommend. Front desk person was rude and snarky also.

I recently had my tonsils removed and I was very scared to have the surgery done due to stories of the recovery being awful for older patients. He was very encouraging and explained everything that was going to happen in surgery day and what to expect during the recovery. When I had concerns during my recovery the staff and Dr. Dodson were very helpful,and gave me great advice and tips to get through my recovery as fast as possible.

Failed to make proper diagnosis despite showing classic symptoms of tumor. Heartless when proper diagnosis confined. Told me condition just required observation, but physician I was referred to for treatment said action was required immediately. Would not recommend him to anyone I cared about.
