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.

An outstanding electrophysiologist
Dr. Dixon was my now-deceased wife's cardiologist who implanted and managed her pacemaker-defibrilator. Extremely caring and competent, he provided phenominal care and stayed by her bedside on a New Year's Eve when she suffered an unexpected terminal heart failure, caring personally for her until her last breath. From what I have heard from others, this atypical care seems to be TYPICAL of the concern and dedication of this remarkable physician. At our request, he did not hesitate to phone and arrange for an acknowledged leading surgeon/professor at a distant teaching hospital to perform a cardiac ablation for her that seemed especially challenging.

Dr. Dixon made me feel unhurried and answered all my questions in terms I could understand even before I asked them! He was careful to make decisions with me, not for me. All explanations were clear instilling confidence in him as a highly competent physician. Overall my appointment with him was one of the most satisfying I have ever had and I would highly recommend him to anyone!.
