Patient Reviews
I’ve never been to an urologist before so I entered into the uncharted waters with some trepidation. Fortunately I had a very productive visit. Dr. Hawkins has an easy going manner and approachable. Guys going to urologist tend to be nervous because of the subject matter to be discussed. He listened carefully to me and provided easy to understand interpretations to my questions. A plan of treatment was recommended with a date set for follow up. I would definitely recommend Dr. Hawkins to friend and family. My entire experience from sign in to check is what you would expect from a professional medical practice.
I have received the best care from Dr. Hawkins. I was living a frightening situation when told I was in need of a Urologist. It was 2010, Dr.Hawkins took excellent care helping me survive bladder cancer. He is the best, most trustworthy doctor. He has followed my recovery from the beginning. I am 11 years cancer-free, i do and will always praise his experience and support as the best available.
I've become accustomed to having less time with doctors than I would like but today's visit with Doctor Hawkins was a pleasurable informative experience. I had a thorough exam and left the office feeling confident that "I'm in good hands."
