Patient Comments

August 23, 2018This is definitely the place I will recommend to my friends and family.
August 8, 2018I have great admiration for and trust in Dr Dickinson. Exceptionally skilled doctor.
August 2, 2018Being the first time I had seen Dr. Dickinson, I was very impressed with his concern and his explanations about the cataract surgery I was seeking. He spent a good deal of time explaining the procedure and associated risks in a way I could understand fully. Detected an irregular heart rate and recommended ECG when I went for pre-op prior to surgery, explaining why he wanted me to have one. Impressed with his informing me during the surgery what was occurring. Excellent professionalism.
July 27, 2018Everyone in this office was great. Never had a better experience with a physician and his staff. Everything was first class.
July 24, 2018This was a very positive experience all around. Dr. Dickinson listened to my concerns and explained the procedure needed in a way that eased my anxiety.

May 24, 2018I love Dr. Dickinson. He is excellent at what he does. My eyes are in good hands. He is a great asset to Baptist. I highly recommend Dr. Dickinson.
April 23, 2018terrific
April 13, 2018This "provider" is an ophthalmologist - doing cataract surgeries & other _____ surgeries. He is "the best" but very heavily booked, and therefore patients are somewhat "rushed thru" the pre-op and post-op visits. This is understandable, and forgiven, in light of his expertise. I ask lots of questions, he tells me to wait till next visit when those questions are relevant. I understand this, and will take this "negative," to stay his patient.
April 6, 2018*Dr. Dickinson & staff were wonderful. Give them all a bonus.
March 6, 2018Dr. Dickinson did both cataract removable - he was very kind and very proficient in explaining what to expect and what and how long it would take, how to take drops and how to handle aftercare. Told me I might get film on my eye and what to do. i would have waited on him as long as needed for him to take care of my needs. He was great in getting my check-ups with a local Eye doctor Jorge Gonzales and I requested that he send me back to Dr. Dickinson to have film removed. Number 1 and I would highly recommend him to everyone.
February 14, 2018Quality patient care.
