"Was diagnosed with a prolapsed rectum by GP and referred to Dr. Dobson. Words cannot describe how embarrassing this condition is or how badly it affects your daily life. On initial visit with Dobson the first question he asked was why I thought I had this condition. I explained my GP diagnosed and referred me. Dobson dismissed this and told me I had hemorrhoids. I explained to him what my conditions were but he insisted I had hemorrhoids. He reluctantly examined me then stated, "oh yeah, it is a prolapsed rectum". He started to walk out then asked if I had any questions while he was standing in the doorway. Almost crying from humiliation I asked what to do now. Had a follow up visit with Dobson and he again dismissed my condition and concerns. After this visit his head nurse and office staff stopped all communication, would not schedule me, or return my phone calls. Dobson and his staff were completely unprofessional should never be considered an option for treatment."
