Dr. Hawkins is the BEST doctor I have. She is an amazing surgeon! I always recommend her to people that need a cholo-rectal surgeon. She is confident, extremely knowledgeable about my problem and calls with follow ups. I wish she could be my GP!

Dr. Hawkins is amazing, kind, caring doctor. She has seen me through a lot of bowel issues. She ALWAYS knows me and what issues I have been struggling with which has led both of us to know that I will be ultimately having a colostomy. I trust Dr. Hawkins with every part of my surgery and recovery!
