A week before that 1st MDVIP office visit, my heartbeat… See more
Dr. Dodson has rescued my life from plodding into old age to one of becoming fit and excited about the future. He has worked with my medical issues until they are well controlled and has brought me into an increasingly healthy lifestyle.
Dr. Dodson is always there for me. He listens carefully and coaches me with kindness and understanding. I know that I can be a difficult patient so I am sure that I try his patience every now and then. Yet he is always kind and respectful and knows just what to say to handle a difficult situation. He has really made a difference in my overall health.
I am so thankful for Dr. Dodson and MDVIP. Due to their comprehensive tests, they were able to uncover a previously undetected blood disease that would have been overlooked in a traditional setting.
Dr. Dodson has been our family doctor for approximately ten(10) years. He has done an excellent job of promoting and an individually focused Wellness Program(even before he became associated with MDVIP) and also detecting and addressing potential and actual health problems. During this period of time he has made excellent recommendations for doctors in specialized fields when they were needed(… See more
Dr. Dodson tells the truth, keeps his promises and treats me like like I think he would want to be treated.
Dr. Dodson is more than my physician, he is also my friend. He always has time for me and really listens. And like a true friend, he pushes me to be the best I can be physically.
Dr. Dodson has changed my life for ever. I have stopped smoking for one year come March 18th. I have lost 39 lbs. following his recommendations. I'm in the best shape I have been in 20 years. I went from the worst patient (eating habits) to the model patient thanks to Dr. Dodson. Thanks to his persistence I was able to stop smoking. Not only is he a great doctor, he is also a good friend… See more
I have just started the program with Dr. Dodson and am very satisfied.
