“The office was highly efficient and considerate of my time. I had to submit minimal paperwork and the staff were able to quickly pull up my past X-ray records upon request. Dr. Dickinson was quick with his diagnosis and straightforward about all the options available to me and which ones would be worth pursuing. I had minimal wait time to see the technician and to get seen by the doctor after that. Overall a very efficient experience.”

Wonderful experience. As a health care professional I am really picky when it comes to picking my own providers. Everyone was kind & professional from the front desk to Dr. Dickinson. He explains everything! Highly recommend!

I was seen by another doctor but she was great

I came to see Dr. Dickinson for cubital tunnel syndrome. He was very friendly, comprehensive in his description of the issue, and took the time to answer all the questions I had. He provided a clear treatment plan and next steps. I would recommend him based on my experience. I came to the office during the coronavirus pandemic and felt comfortable with the cleanliness standards put in place. I was the last appointment of the day so there wasn’t anyone else in the office so I can’t comment on peak crowds. Office was nice and comfortable.
Verified patient
I met with Brianna. She was excellent! Super clear and thorough when telling me what was likely going on and what to do about it. Very friendly and non-intimidating so I felt free to ask questions. Front desk staff was great and I was seen very quickly. A+ office visit from start to finish
Verified patient
I felt a little rushed and the diagnosis was unclear - the PA said “maybe meniscus, maybe ACL”, then the doctor came in and said “maybe tendonitis or a tight IT band”. In all cases the treatment plan was the same but just felt they didn’t take the time to really understand what was going on.
Super friendly, knowledgeable, and caring staff. Office is attractive and very clean. Don’t waste 2.5hrs sitting in ER like I did, just come here to start!
Verified patient

Professional team, no wait, new/clean offices. I was seen right away by a very competent physicians assistant who listened to my issues, patiently walked me through my options for treatment and answered all my questions.
Verified patient
It was great!
It was very clean and new clinic, but the doctor I talked to was very cold and seems she didnt try to explain to me the cause of the pain. I felt she looks down on people, and I felt insulted. The nurse took a x-ray for me was very kind and detailed. I will go to see other doctor since I don't believe her treatment.
