“Knowledgeable Doctor”
Doctor Dix has been my doctor/mentor for 20 years. I would recommend her to become the next women president if it were some thing she was interested in being. She is very knowledgeable and very sincere about all of her patients. She is loving and concerned and I enjoy discussing everything with her.

“Always Pleasant”
Dr. Dix is always pleasant and attentive to all my concerns and questions. Staff is extremely friendly and efficiently obtains my referrals as needed. Karen helped me when I required STAT prior authorization for a diagnostic test. If it wasn't for Dr. Dix and her entire staff I wouldn't be here today. Their team work help me get the treatment I needed which saved my life. Thank you all for everything. Claudia A

“Outstanding Care”
Shari-Lynne and staff scheduled an appointment for me on my day off, how convenient!! I arrived on time, signed in, and was called in immediately. Shari-Lynne the nurse practitioner went over all my results and explained them throughly to me. It's wonderful to have a female physician. One who understands the female body.

“Found the right doctor”
I have recently become a patient of Dr. Dix and I was beyond impressed with my experience at Dr. Dix's office. I have nothing but positive experiences with Dr. Dix, nurse practitioner and staff. Not only do I find Dr. Dix to be an excellent physician but she is caring, friendly cares about her patients and has office staff that takes care of what paper work, appointments, or authorizations are needed. They get the job done quickly and efficiently. With my appointment it was ran on time. Dr. Dix and nurse practitioner are very knowledgeable and made me feel comfortable throughout my appointment.
