Having enjoyed great care from Dr [...] until his retirement I was concerned about the relationship I would have with a new PCP. Dr Dobbs is an great replacement. He shows the same concern for my wellbeing while showing even more enthusiasm for my progress which I didn't think was possible.

Myself, including my husband and son see Dr. Dobbs. He has been the absolute best doctor I have ever have. He really shows compassion and empathy for his patients, along with including them in any decisions as far as treatment plans. I recommend him all of the time. This man needs a raise!
