However, his journey took a challenging turn when he began his residency in the ICU during the peak of the pandemic. Dr. Dixon was also grappling with the tragic loss of his brother during this time. The emotional toll of personal grief, combined with the intense stress of working on the front lines of the pandemic, surrounded by sickness and patients facing their mortality, created an extraordinary crucible of adversity.

Today, Dr. Dixon doesn't just treat his patients; he walks alongside them, offering a unique and compassionate perspective that enriches his practice.
