Patient Reviews
Jan 10, 2017
Dr. Dobyns is simply the best doctor I have ever had or heard of. He has a combination of expertise, wit, and kindness that is exceptional. When my mother was dying, he spent considerable time on the phone with me telling me what to expect. This was all gratis. When other family members have had issues, he does not hesitate to provide expert input. One of the kindest people I have ever met. And he has addressed any medical issues I have had with expertise and wit. Ten Stars if I could.
