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 is thorough and takes time to explain things.

I took my intact son in for ear pain and he began to look at the diaper area and then tried to retract my infant son. I told him to stop and then had to cover his hands to stop. I told him no and he still tried to retract my son. I told him how the foreskin is fused to the head of the penis and you never retract an infant, toddler or child. I told him even the Academy of Pediatrics says not to retract. After our visit I send him some information and he tried to agrue with me again.
