Dr hixson is the greatest Dr. She is so caring and one of the most intelligent doctors I've ever seen. She's always willing to listen and answer medical questions that I have.I truly think she's the best. So much so I drive close to 2 hours to have her take care of my medical issues.

Dr. Hixson is the best doctor I've ever had. She listens to my concerns and shows she cares about me- she knows my dog's name and always asks about him, about my family, or about my music. I can tell she wants me to be healthy AND happy.

She is the best primary doctor I have ever had. She listens and then provides a response that is easily understandable to a lay person. I feel heard and not judged for my concerns. I leave 100% confident about her expertise, plan of care, and that I know what my responsibilities are as the patient.
