I choose Dr. Hixson when I retired. I have been so thankful for her. She is attentive to my health and responds to every concern. She is also very much on to of preventative measure for me. I could not have chosen someone who I thought was a better fit. And I love the portal. Communication is so much less complicated than the old nurse line.I have recommend patients to her but currently I didn't think she is taking new patients.

The only Dr appointment I ever look forward to going. I always recommend Dr Hixson when I have the opportunity but, I hope it doesn't make her too busy to see me. My wife and I have been seeing her for many years and it's always a pleasure to see her
