Patient Comments
- December 11, 2018Dr. Dotson is the best!
- October 31, 2018Great visit and very helpful. He is very knowledgeable.
- September 10, 2018Dr. Dotson was originally removed from my husband's care and he was assigned for all follow-up through the surgeon. I INSISTED Dr. Dotson remain his Dr. so we would have continuity of care and because he treats ALAN, the person who has alzheimers and lung cancer, and validates him. Dr. Dotson has a wonderful bedside manner. He also explains everything to me in ways that I can understand. #1 Doctor in my book!
- July 18, 2018Dr. Dotson is a fantastic doctor in every way.
- July 10, 2018My quality of life would be much less without the care of *Dr. Dotson. He doesn't give up when other dr.'s have.
- June 13, 2018There are not enough words, or space, to describe the care from *Dr. Dotson. I am 70 yrs. old and have had some very good physicians; however, *Dr. Dotson is the very best one. His knowledge and concern can't be matched!
- April 4, 2018One of Wake's BEST!
- February 19, 2018Dr. Dotson is very experienced and shows concern in helping me with my health problem. He explained my condition to my husband and how his treatment would help me.
- February 7, 2018Always very professional
