Dr. Dickinson has an amazing ability to fix humans. He has a real gift and talent. He has personally taken care of myself and saved a family member's life. He is straight to the point so have your questions ready, this man is busy. The office staff( Mary and Miriam) are the other half of making it a great experience. The ladies really make sure to get everything addressed. They are very busy! I don't know how they stay on top of it all! Dr. Dickinson made sure to fix me up with minimal scarring. Getting surgery can be scary and make you uneasy. He is one of the only surgeon I would ever trust

Will not return phone calls. Takes your insurance money and then ghosts you. This is not how a doctor's office is supposed to conduct themselves.

Dr. Dickinson is kind, courteous and he has a great bedside manner. It is always a pleasure to speak with Mary and Breana in the office or on the phone. Both Mary and Breana are very pleasant, kind and efficient.

Dr. Dickinson is clear, precise, caring and direct. He moves promptly with arranging surgeries and makes sure patients are cared for properly. I highly recommend him. He thinks out of the box and this is refreshing in a field that is becoming more automated and nameless.

This man is a creep. He's difficult to look at and has a holier than thou attitude. He even charges to fill out disability paperwork on top of that all!

Dr. Dickenson knows surgery. He explained everything to me before the surgery. Highly recommend him and his staff for this procedure. Chris Gilbert

For my surgery, I found Dr. Dickinson extremely competent and compassionate. He is an advocate for the patient's best interests.
