I would highly recommend Dr Carl Dobson to anyone! I love this man. He is so attentive, caring, and knowledgeable. He delivered both of my girls. I don't think I could have been as brave without him. Being an OB is not just a specialty, it has to be a calling... a calling from God. This man is so gentle and caring!

Botched a simple D&C, and laparoscopic procedure. A week after the surgery I went back because I was in severe pain like I have never had before as well as vomiting. The car ride to the doctors office was misirible. Every bump in the road sent me flying through the roof in pain. Finally we get to the office and he examined me again, hoping for answers he just told my mother that "gas can make you feel like you are dying" and "I was a drama queen" (Keep in mind at the time I was only 18 years old.) We left the office and I was sobbing. With being a doctor my mother immidatly trusted him so much I had to threaten to call 911 to get her to take me to the ER. To make a terrible story a little shorter the ER finally found that he obstructed my bowel. It took them 12 hours, 12 hours of me starting to vomit up what was already digesting in my colon because there was no where for it to go. I got there at 12 in the after noon, and had emergency surgery at 2 a.m. If I would have waited any… longer I would have ended up in a closcopy bag, or even worse dead. I can't believe this man is allowed to practice.

I have been Dr. Dobson's patient for 23 years. I also worked for him for a short time while in school. He is absolutely the BEST! As a patient, he was always kind, compassionate and as an employer, exact same. One of the sweetest men God ever put breath in. I even told him he was right up there next to Jesus in my book, he giggled and blushed.. such a humble man. You'll never find another like him, LOVE him.
