Dr Dickerson took the time to understand the complexity of my health condition, he was thorough, helpful and kind. It was clear he understood my condition and explained his thinking well. He had several suggestions for treatment. He and his office followed immediately on several things.

Dr. Dickerson is warm, funny, thoughtful. He explained the procedure in layman's terms. It was pain free & quick. All staff were similarly caring & patient with my questions. I'd rate them higher than a 5 if that were available.
