Dr Dickinson was referred to me by my aunt, who works at Grand Strand Hospital. Like anyone, I was a little uneasy at first until I met him. This man is not just a Dr he is your best friend. He cares like no other Dr I've ever seen. I had hernia repair surgery on Friday and he came in to visit me before the surgery to tell me what was going to happen. He walked into the room and all my fears and concerns went out the window. He spoke to me and my girlfriend like we were his family. He told us exactly what was going to happen during the procedure. After the surgery was done, he went out and spoke to her like any other Dr would, but he went out and talked to her with care. He told her everything that happened, from the mishaps to the surgery. By far the most caring Dr I've ever had. Dr Dickinson, I would want nothing more than to continue being your patient and send in people your way, for them to have the same experience that we had. Again, you are truly and amazing Dr and a wonderful person. Thank you for all that you've done and have yet to do. read more
