Dr. Dobbs immediately recognized that I was given medicine I was allergic to and changed to another medicine that would cure my bladder infection. He explains everything so I can understand. I have recommended him to everyone I know! Hayes Medical Center is very efficient!

Dr. Dobbs is a good listener and let's me into his decision making process about my care. I'm sure this attitude helps his patients comply with their care plan. I certainly appreciate it.

My old PCP retired and I needed to find a new one. I had heard good things about the practice and was hoping Dr. Dobbs would be the same. He and all of the staff (receptionist, nurse and Dr. Dobbs) were all amazing.

I felt that Dr. Dobbs was genuinely interested in any medical problems I had. Our primary visit was more than one hour because of decisions being made about my medications and my care.
