Karen Dix, MD, FAAFP

I started going to Dr Dix because my insurance changed. My first appointment was with the NP, which I loved becaused she listened and addressed all of my issues. My next appointment I saw the doctor at first I thought she was very good. But on later visits, she seemed distracted and not really into my visits and when I would go back for follow up not remember what she had told me. she didn’t address all my issues, like I wanted but when she does I’m happy. I don’t however like her staff, they are not good. I needed my immunization vaccines and it requires insurance approval, they did not call and I had to wait. That usually happens all the time. I had to have some labs done and had to go in and demand then wait for my paper work. They make you wait a long time and your seen for a hot second. They are not rude just indifferent and when they don’t want to deal with you they put someone else on the phone so you have to tell the whole issue over again. her office is time consuming, if you have all the time in the world then her office will suit you. I think she is a good doctor, I don’t like how her office is ran.

I really like Dr. Dix. She does a very good job with taking care of my thyroid issues. She’s also extremely nice and really tries to listen to her patients. The only real issue I have is the wait time. It truly is as long as people say. I think it may be because she doesn’t rush her patients out of the room. Even so, I would not want to go to another doctor. I just mentally prepare myself for the waiting and play phone games. Lastly, her staff should call patients the day before their appointments. It’s a courtesy that should never go away. Also not a deal breaker. I should be able to remember my own appointments since I’m an adult. I just put appointment alarms in my phone. But I’m lucky to have found Dr. Dix. She’s really a great doctor and a total sweetheart. She, personally, gets 5 stars from me.

Dr. Dix is a nice soft spoken woman, but I never really left her office feeling «good» about the visit. Blah is the only word that I could use to describe my experience. I hated getting blood work with the office because I was always referred to somewhere that was inconvenient with terrible parking. And it seemed like it took forever to get my results. It always took a while to get an appointment, in my experience, also. I wouldn’t say that she is a «bad» doctor by any means. But just not for me.

My appointment was supposed to be at 5:45. Its a good thing I remembered my appointment time because I didn’t get a reminder call a day or two before my appointment. The staff at the front desk didn’t even smile at me when I walked in. I arrived at 5:30 to sign in, but was not brought back to take my basic vitals until 6:35. I then waited in the exam room until 7:15 to see Dr. Dix. She was nice enough and not at all a bad person, but she didn’t strike me as being particularly bright.
Dr. Dix was assigned to me by my HMO, but I will be finding a new doctor. I’m tired of having my time wasted and have now learned the value of shopping around for a well run practice.

Dont listen to those negative reviews, PLEASE! I am lucky enough to not have to go to the doctors office often. I have seen Dr Dix twice over the past 2 years and I have had nothing but GREAT experiences both times! I was seen at my scheduled appointment time, no wait. Dr Dix did not rush through my appointment, she made sure all my concerns were met. She did a thorough exam and ordered all the tests I know are necessary for the type of complaint I went in with. And even though she had only met me once before, more than a year ago, she actually remembered who I was and where I worked! The last doctor I had acted like he had never laid his eyes on me every single time I saw him and I was his patient for 7 years! The office staff are sweet and efficient and processed my paperwork/​copay quickly. I had the choice to change PCP’s at the beginning of the year but no way, Im so glad my last doc retired and referred me to her office!

Dr. Dix is a very kind and wonderful person. I would highly recommend going to see her if you are looking for a primary care physician in the area.

worst. I was looking for a general practitioner and went to Karen for a checkup. I left work early and arrived 20 min early only to wait 1−½ hours passed my scheduled appointment. everyone in the waiting room was complaining about how long they waited. I only saw her after I went to the window and told them forget it mail my results to a new dr. In addition to the wait it doesn’t seem like she is too clear on what’s going on.

Dr. Dix is a very nice person but she will barely spend 5 minutes with you (and after you have waited between 1 to 2 hours for your scheduled appointment – each and every time). Her staff (except for the person at the front desk) are extremely nice. But the overall feeling I got was that she didn’t care about me as a patient. She never asked questions, she just wanted to finish and leave. Whenever I told her about chronic problems she would spend about 15 minutes searching for a sheet of paper on the problem – the sheet usually contained the very most basic information and something I could find on Google in 2 secs. As one reviewer indicated she does demonstrate common sense and she is likable but I really felt she just doesn’t care. I’ve finally made the switch to a different doctor.

Please do not waste your time seeing this doctor. I wish I read John L.‘s review when I was looking for a family doctor. My appointment was at 4:30. The medical assistant didn’t checked me in until 5:20. Really? An hour late? It is now 5:47 and still waiting and still have not seen Dr. Dix to fill out my paperwork. I am so changing family doctor. Not coming back here!

I was Dr. Dix’s senior resident back in 1982 during residency training at UCI Med Center. She is now my primary physician as has been for several years. She is an extremely competent, highly skilled, compassionate physician who also demonstrates common sense (a quality which many physicians lack in this day and age). I was shocked by the demented rants made by one reviewer.
