Dr. Mark Kane Dodson

I had a 22-pound mass in my ovary. I looked pregnant. I was 16. He got the mass out. It was cancerous. Not to be overly dramatic, but he saved my life. When I come in for checkups, I’m no longer in that precarious situation, but he’s still caring as are all the people who work there. I had a 22-pound mass in my ovary. I looked pregnant. I was 16.

I had colon cancer and had chemo and radiation. I went to Dr. Dodson with some symptoms that scared me. His exam was extremely painful after I told him about the sensitivity other ob-gyn doctors use, but he didn't care. He used major force. He told me prior at my age I would never need another pap again. After his exam, he told me horror stories of what is eventually going to happen to me from the radiation I received. I was in tears. My oncologist radiologist never said anything like that! I left a mess. When I received the results, the nurse said he wants to see me again for another pap in a year! Stay away from this horrid, uncaring, mean, so-called doctor! I have nightmares about what he told me was going to happen to me. I was in pain from the pap for a week!

Dr. Dodson, I believe has one of the hardest jobs having to tell women they have cancer. I have seen him many times for a reoccurring issue I have from a low immune system from a transplant. He has been thorough and genuine with me on every visit. Having to wait a little longer to see him if he is working with a patient is quite alright since I know he spends that time helping me as well. I trust my life with him.

Dr. Dodson is an amazing doctor. He confirmed my diagnosis of stage 3 ovarian cancer and quickly made an emergency plan without hesitation using current proven methods. My CT scan and ultrasound results were sent to him from the ER and he looked at them Immediately and got me in right away. He did my debulking surgery immediately and was aggressive to get every tumor out. Dodson is matter of fact in a cancer diagnosis. An excellent surgeon and he communicated well with me during my 12 day stay in the hospital. He set me up for optimal success to tackle this disease and receive chemo treatments with another doctor he trusted. He is a no BS doctor who isn’t warm and fuzzy but he’s honest about what is happening and what needs to happen. It’s a scary diagnosis and he is knowledgeable about best practices. Highly recommend!

I loved Dr. Dodson. He completely removed my cancer. I appreciated his to-the-point explanation and skill in surgery. I’ve talked to many doctors, and they agree that he’s the best!

Had a HORRIBLE experience with Dr. Mark K. Dodson. He lacked compassion, was very prideful, had zero bedside manner skills, and made me feel VERY uncomfortable on the examination table. When someone is going through cancer, the last thing they need is a doctor like this! I rarely write horrible reviews, but in this case, I feel it's necessary to forewarn others.

Very kind Staff. Precise, professional, knowledgeable Surgeon. I would highly recommend Dr Mark K Dodson, his Staff, and Residents for complicated and non-complicated surgical needs. His background, experience, and expertise set the bar high for others.

Dr. Dodson took a nearly 16 lb ovarian tumor out of me. This was an extremely complex surgery to say the least. I can't say enough good stuff about him. He is hands down the kindest most compassionate Dr. I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. He did such a great job at making me and my husband feel at ease. At my follow up appointment the office was running behind. They were so sweet and offered us water and a snack. Dr. Dodson sincerely apologized for the wait and said that should never happen. Most Dr.s act like their time is precious and their patients time is not. I would recommend their office 1000 times over. He saved my life, no question. I honestly believe that any other Dr. wouldn't have taken the time and care with my surgery as he did. Outstanding Dr. Dr. Dodson took a nearly 16 lb ovarian tumor out of me.

Dr. Mark Dodson was very clear about the reality of my diagnosis. He explained things in such a way that it was easily understood. He has a very natural and easy bedside manner as well as gives the impresseion of actually caring about his patients. The procedure itself (removal of lymph nodes and ovaries) went very well and i saw him before and after the procedure. I was uite impressed with him as a doctor and surgeon. I would recommend him to anyone.

If you are considering Dr. Dotson, please consider another doctor. He is too busy being a big shot and going to conferences to give you the dedicated time and attention you deserve. Please find another surgeon who will take the time and patience to really listen to you, not dismiss you, and help you feel confident in your healing—all things that Dr. Dotson is unable or unwilling to do. Because of his negligence, I almost died from my hysterectomy surgery, which delayed my chemo treatment.

We were very disappointed with our appointment with Dr Dodson. Besides having to wait ijn the waiting room for at least 45 minutes. We were brought into his office and sat for another 40 minutes. When the doctor finally came in he had not reviewed my chart. Then he left for another 20 minutes and came back in suggesting I have a total pelvic exenteration. I am 43 years old. Anyway, I fired this doctor and would advise anyone going to this doctor to have a second opinion. Or maybe I just caught him on a bad day...? Oh and my bill for all the waiting was $689.79. Thanks for nothing except for the desire to prove you wrong. You said my future is grim. Guess what, I'm still kicking. We were very disappointed with our appointment with Dr Dodson.

My wife had been to see Dr. Dodson, She had been working on a difficult decision as to what path to take. To have or not to have a major surgery that Dr. Dodson would have to have a G.I surgeon assist with. She wanted to meet with the G.I surgeon as well. She thought she had set an appointment to meet with the G.I but instead found she was just scheduled for surgery. She canceled the surgery and the doctors seem to think she was avoiding the difficult decision and in some way had wronged them when truth be told it was them or there office that had messed up. She was very troubled by this and there re action and choose not to have the surgery. At this time she has been experiencing a lot of pain. Today she called there office wanting to talk to them again thinking she would give them another chance. But as before the office staff gave her the cold shoulder. Not very professional of them to be not courteous and not helpful. I thought people in your line of work liked helping people but today I was proved wrong.

I have had two appointments with Dr Dodson, the first I waited over 2 hours to see him from scheduled appt time, the second I was told I would have to wait indefinitely as he was running behind and I should have planned on all day, my appt was at 10am. Both appointments were made 6 months in adavance. While I understand you do have to wait for doctors, Dr Dodson's lack of concern for his patients time and not offering alternatives is disturbing.
