At my annual physical in the fall of 2016, Dr Dobson noticed that I was experiencing atrial fibrillation. Since I had just been exercising at the YMCA, I told him I felt fine and that something was wrong with his EKG instrument and to please check me again...which he did without hesitation or complaints. Guess what...the test was again the same... A Fib. He immediately arranged an office visit… See more

Testimonials from patients of Dr. Dodson
Cal,
Having you as our primary care physician is a great comfort to us. Thanks for your excellent care.

The service and attention to detail is to a level that exceeds all expectations. I had always experienced reactive medicine - you have a problem, you get treatment. The MDVIP program and Dr Dotson is proactive: identify small issues before they become major and prevent problems before they occur.
t just gets backed up every time I consult Dr. Dodson for any thing from big to small. for one thing he makes time to see me on short notice---then he jprescribes a never fail solution.
I give thanks to god that he is my doctor.

My internists were good doctors so I figured a stroke would be coming sooner rather than later. Years went by and my doctor retired so I then saw Dr. Dodson. On my first visit after he read my pressure he said, You know, blood… See more
Cal is caring, thorough and forthright with your condition. An amazing Healthcare provider.
He's caring, attentive and always gives personal attention. I didn't a survey to know that he's the best! I knew this all along!
