Dr. Dotson is a very thorough Doctor. He listens to what you have to say and really cares about your health. He is a "blood hound" and follows the test very carefully!!

Verified patient
It went faster than it has in the past. My biggest complaint is he talks too much of the news and stuff he has read on the internet. Which puts him behind schedule. I dont mind a 5 min off medical record but when it becomes 15 min or so non-medical that is when I have a problem. Love this doctor to pieces and I have been with him for a very long time. I trust this man with my life.
Dr. Dotson is the best family physician you can ask for. He really listens to me, and answers all my questions. I never feel rushed out the door in his office. He gets me any testing needed in a timely fashion. Thank you Dr. Dotson for your kindness and compassion. NEVER RETIRE LOL
