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 moment Dr. Dodson walked in the exam room I felt comfortable. He was punctual, diagnosed my injury in a consise and easy to understand way. Explained surgery and set up my operation within days.Before surgery he was kind and supportive. After surgery was informative and assuring.I am beyond thrilled I found Dr. Dodson.

Talented Doctor, with an equally talented team!
The people who schedule are very flexible. Those handling the reception interact politely, professionally & privately. The registration process combines the use of technology with the help of friendly personal assistance. The imaging technicians are experienced at handling the latest technology & treat each client as a person, not a number. The members of the billing team make the process seem effortless, despite ever changing insurance regulations, hundreds of thousands of codes & insurance plans. The folks who measure & fit patients for their specific pre-operative & post-operative equipment are fast, accurate, professional & pleasant. My particular case was treated in-house, non-invasively, until requiring surgical intervention. At that point, I asked for & received a person experienced handling the needs of a professional athlete & met Dr Dodson & his team who performed precision cutting edge surgery, with laparoscopic equipment. The Dr & his team remain diligent to this day. A+

Excellent experience
Dr. Dodson performed an ACL allograft for me three years ago after I tore mine at work. It was a very difficult time to navigate—but the one thing that was not difficult was the care provided by Dr. Dodson and his staff at both the office and the surgicenter. Surgery was clean, concise, and successful. His manner, as mentioned by many others here, is genuine, honest, and confidence-inspiring. Three years later, I still think with some frequency of how fortunate I am to have ended up in his care.

Dr. Dodson came highly recommended. Every time I asked someone about a good knee surgeon, Dr. Dodson’s name came up. I can say from first hand, he lived up to his reputation!!! I was so nervous about my knee surgery but it was a breeze. I literally had no pain after surgery. After two days I didn’t need the crutches or any pain medicine. Dr. Dodson works miracles. He certainly lived up to his reputation. I would choose Dr. Dodson again!!!

Dr Dodson is the best orthopedic surgeon around. I trusted him with my daughter’s knee surgery and he went above and beyond to ensure she was taken care of from consultation through post op. Dr Dodson takes the time to explain to you everything you need to know, and continuously makes sure every question you may have is answered. I am grateful for Dr Dodson and the Rothman orthopedic staff members for taking stellar care of my daughter.
