I had a great experience with hip replacement about 13 yrs ago but just now a bit disappointed that there was a diagnosis of scoliosis then that I am just now finding out as it has flared up on me. Not sure what if anything I could have done to prevent it getting more severe but it would have been nice to know.

Dr. Dodgin listens and gives great feedback that is helpful in making decisions, and he encourages you to make your own decisions about surgery based on the information. It’s apparent you are his primary focus when you’re seeing him. He’s very professional but makes you feel like a friend that he cares for. More importantly, he’s an excellent surgeon. He replaced one of my knees, and the result was wonderful with very little pain during rehab. I’m anxious to get my other knee replaced in November and wouldn’t want anyone but Dr. Dodgin to do it!

Dr Dodgin has been my Dr/Surgeon for 20 years having performed 8 surgeries always making me feel confident about every one I can only foresee maybe one more and will only have him perform the surgery. My office visit was easy to do I didn’t have to wait long to be seen and Dr Dodgins answered all my questions and eased my mind over the anxiety I was feeling.
