I simply cannot say enoughv positive comments about Dr. Dixit! First, he literally saved my life by finding me the trial program in Houston that cured my mostly incurable condition! For that I will always be eternally grateful then, being under his care subsequently has been so comforting and and lightning. He is always positive and always extremely kind, spending as much time as required by him and me to be sure I understand all the aspects of my appointment. He is absolutely wonderful! I truly truly owe him so much.
