Patient Reviews
May 19, 2024
Dr. Dobson did a biopsy on a cyst he cut out from my arm and I was diagnosed with Merkel Cell Carcinoma, a deadly fast acting cancer and, he acted right away cutting out more tissue and then a surgical examination at the hospital. He got everything out. It’s been more than 5 years and the cancer hasn’t come back. Dr. Dobson saved my life.
