William S. Dodd, M.D.

Dr. William Dodd is board certified in both internal medicine and pediatrics, allowing him to treat all ages. He enjoys being a part of people's lives, connecting with them and seeing them grow healthier as a result. One aspect of medicine that he enjoys practicing is that of shared medical decision making. He also particularly enjoys working with patients from marginalized groups. Dr. Dodd wants to be part of the solution to medicine's past failures at caring for people in these groups by listening to them and providing good care.
