Dr Dawkins provided the most amount of information I've received in my 2+ years of having treatment for my spine condition. He showed us my MRI and made sure I understood all the issues. I really trust him.

Dr Dawkins is one of the best medical doctors I have seen for care - ever. Each office visit has been detailed and complete. He listens carefully and explains fully in an easily understood manner. In the end, I needed and opted for cervical spine surgery. Every aspect of the procedure was completed just as professionally as a patient could hope for. In my opinion, he is eminently competent and exceptionally professional. Most strongly recommended.

Both the NP, Ryan, and Dr. Dawkins were excellent! They were very thorough, answered all my questions, and made me feel at ease. Dr. Dawkins recommended a procedure prior to surgery, which might help. He also explained that I could get this procedure near my home, without the need to travel so far. In the event that I get the surgery, there is no one else I would have do it other than Dr. Dawkins.
