Dr. Dobson is patient and seems knowledgeable. But the waiting time is too long, and the end result basically says nothing.

Assistants didn’t properly use medical equipment.
September 17, 2018Joseph G.Verified patient
The wait was insanely long, over an hour (which I saw from other reviews but I tried my luck anyways) and now I've been waiting on lab results for over two weeks (when I was told 2-3 days.) I can not get a hold of anyone by phone, email or the patient portal. Dr. Dobson was friendly and attentive but obviously overbooked. This is not a well managed schedule nor a responsive provider.

The kind of Family Dr Ive always wanted.
January 24, 2019Mark W.Verified patient
I went in to establish care with Dr Dobson around 12:00PM one day and waited over 45 minutes in the waiting room for my visit. After being seen, he told me to come back in the morning for my physical so that he would not get behind in the schedule. I show up at 7:30AM for my appointment, still waited over 45 minutes in the waiting room and over 2 hours in total for the appointment. After asking the medical assistant, he said that I was the first and only patient at the moment and that I was not seen because he was running labs. I was not sure why the doctor would waste my time and tell me to come in the morning when that did not shorten my wait time at all. I sat in the waiting room for over 45 minutes without seeing a single person. It would have been more professional if they came out to tell me that they had to run labs and could not see me yet but there was zero communication. The front desk receptionist was apathetic when I told her, acting very unprofessional by just waiting her videos on her phone instead of listening. I would not recommend this doctor unless you have 2 hours to waste every appointment.

He truly listened to me and was excellent in recommendations. He was prompt to follow up on refilling prescriptions and seriously made all my visits the most enjoyable doctor visits I’ve ever had. I can’t recommend him enough.

Excellent, caring through

Although the wait time was too long, my visit with Dr. Dobson went very well--excellent bedside manner, knowledgeable, and he took the time to research and follow up a lot outside of my appointment time to make sure I was getting the care I needed and healing well. I definitely recommend him.
August 16, 2018Catherine R.Verified patient
I got my annual physical with Dr. Dobson. I saw him first thing in the morning, and he seemed a little out of sorts; he probably just needed his morning coffee though, haha. He did a good job explaining everything that he was doing and answering any questions that I had. I plan on making Dr. Dobson my primary physician going forward.
June 6, 2018Initials hidden
He was okay. He didn’t have any knowledge of my issue so he referred me out which was fine.
However he started probing about one of my other health issues (which i was not there for) and felt it necessary to sell me his glory days of being a public health clinician.
May 18, 2018Kahlib B.Verified patient
I wait more than one hour to get a visit of less than 10 minutes.
Perhaps it was the right length due to my issue but it seems not fair
