Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

I’m a 67 year old man that has had problems with my ears for a year now (fluid and dizziness). I saw Dr. Hixon about a year ago for the first time. He was a little short and I felt like he couldn’t get me out of there quick enough. I left wondering what to do next. I fought my problem for 10 months by going to emergency rooms and my family doctor with occasional relief for short periods of time. I thought I would give Dr. Hixon another try since it has been almost a year. He was rude and short. I felt as though he was angry about me being there. He reviewed my charts and denied a fluid issue without looking at my ears. Then decided to look and said there was fluid but didn’t think he could help. I can understand that to a degree, but can’t understand his snappy attitude. Maybe he chose the wrong profession since he apparently has no patience dealing with people. I’m done with him.
