Dr Dixon is a class act doctor with an awesome bedside manner. When you have cancer and so many questions and a professional takes so much time with you to explain things and make sure that you understand things it is priceless. I appreciate his honesty and willingness to listen to me all the way through without interrupting. He's smart and he's confident.
