      Dr Dixon is by far one of my favorite Drs of all time. He has the best bedside manner of any doctor I have ever met. He is very concerned, and he's thorough with decisions I need to make and gives me his expert advice and I really trust him with my life, no pun intended.

      It was an evaluation. I have been seen by 6 other UK doctors for this debilitating issue. Additionally, PT and acupuncture. I Was expecting some treatment in an attempt to help me feel better
