Dr. Hixson is great. She is one of the few providers I have seen that really takes the time to listen to you and help with issues.

Dr. HIXSON is very professional while at the same time very relatable and friendly. She is excellent at putting a patient at ease, listens well, and respects that I want a lot of input and freedom to actively participate in my care management. I appreciate her and recommend her at every opportunity I have!

I cancelled my first appointment and then got in the next day with the best doctor I have ever met. She was so thorough with mg physical exam and family history. I got in by luck with her and I won't go to another doctor from here on out The lab nurse was also insanely skilled at her job. I do not mind needles at all but that was still the smoothest needle prick I barely even felt anything
