He does not listen to patients. Every visit have to retell ailments. Been seeing him for two yrs and still no diagnoses. What to drowned me in vitamins. Just does not look at big picture or LISTEN

My husband had previously suffered a stroke and seizures and Dr. Cawthon was his follow-up doctor. Although not particularly warm and fuzzy, the gentleman knows his expertise, and that was what we were looking for. Very pleased and hopefully he can continue to be my husband's neurologist.

Never want to see him again. He knows only 1 diagnosis - and he will shoehorn everyone into his narrow vision.

He is a very professional doctor, straightforward and to the point. Definitely knows his field and will provide you with the best information possible regarding conditions.

This Dr. wasted my time doing the same exam on me twice. It was like he forgot he already asked me those same 10 questions last time. He then admitted he really didnt know what was wrong with me ordered more blood work for two conditions he could have ruled out just by asking me a few basic questions. He has NO personality and I would rate his bedside manner as a zero if it let me. He was also rude and kept asking me what is todays date like I was there for a concussion diagnosis. I went elsewhere.

I saw Dr. Cawthon in Green Bay, WI while he was filling in for another doctor. He was very thorough and seemed to know his stuff, and admit when something was outside his area of expertise. His personality is quiet and serious, but I liked that a lot. I just had the visit a few days ago, so I can't rate the follow ups.

This office always worked with me. I never had to wait over 15 minutes. Dr. Cawthon explained my diagnosis thoroughly and referred me to the specialist I needed. I always enjoyed this Dr visit and I hate Drs.
