I am a medical doctor with 50 years experience. I am prostate cancer survivor and have prostate…read moreenlargement. I have been under his supervision for over two years. He has tried to pressure me to perform a prostate biopsy because my PSA continued to rise. Prostate enlargement will elevate PSA. PSA does not reliably diagnose cancer. My annual Prostate MRIs never have shown any return of cancer. He never discussed starting me on medication to reduce the size of the prostate and to lower the PSA. Another Urologist immediately put me on finasteride and my PSA normalized. Nowadays doctors make much more money doing biopsies than office visits. That is the business of medicine. Two friends recently had prostate biopsies at the same clinic instead of a safe prostate MRI exam. Fortunately, neither biopsy showed cancer. However, one nearly died of sepsis from the biopsy and the other has MRSA prostatitis for the rest of his life. Both complications were completely avoidable.

This is a good and amazingly well educated - check his bio - urologist if he will actually see you…read more More likely, he will push you off to a physician assistant (PA), whose education and experience pales to his, like he did to me - but same cost per visit to you with most insurance plans. Basically, every time I saw him, his attitude was, 'why are you wasting my time, you could see a PA for this'. Before I moved to Reno from a larger town, I saw multiple urologists for the same reasons I saw Dr. McCormack (kidney stones), and none of them dismissed me or urged me to see at PA instead of them. Also, in the years I saw Dr. McCormack, he never once performed a DRE. I received DREs from prior doctors at a younger age annually. And annually from my new urologist in Carson City. Check the standard of care, this may not meet it? PS - Urology Nevada is horrible and worse than Dr. McCormack, of which he is a part and presumably a decisionmaker and part of management / ownership, so he has to take responsibility for the poor service of everyone who works for or with him here. See my separate review on Yelp and see all the horrible Yelp & Google reviews written by other patients. Also, you have to fight with the front desk every time because they will auto-book you with a PA instead of with Dr. McCormack for your next appointment. YMMV if you have other issues deemed more serious than a history of kidney stones, which may possibly be what he prefers due to being more lucrative or other reasons?

I ran over to Safeway to get a list of his meds. Ran back, and the staff let me back in to barge in on his appt.. Dr. Has good bedside manners, and seemed to be attentive to the conversation.

I appreciate that she takes a lot of time and thorough notes. I mentioned in my first visit that my dad was a radiologist and that my GF was in med school, and she's asked about them on most of the follow up visits. There's another reviewer who mentioned that the waiting time was long - I've had that experience too, but it's offset by the attention to detail, patience to answer any questions, etc. If I were just looking to get in/get out, Dr. Dixon probably wouldn't be a doc I'd recommend. On the other hand, if you're looking for a doc who's going to take a real history, get to know you, and treat you like a person and not a number, then I'd totally recommend her.

I've been several times over the last couple years and his office is generally efficient, the staff is friendly, and they are quick to take care of refill or other issues that may arise. My coworker and I go to the same guy, and we jokingly refer to him as Dr. "Dry Toast." He's not going to win a comedy contest, isn't going to become a buddy, and isn't one of those guys that you know is so excited to see you. However, he's courteous, dedicated to his patients, and really smart. He's going to take care of you and he's going to do it well. In that regard, you couldn't pick a better guy to trust your health to. Whether that works for you or not really depends on what you're looking for in a physician--personally I'd much rather they be reliable and smart than funny.
