Im satisfied with the appointment. She spent as much time as needed.

05/14/2025

Love her

04/18/2025

Very good experience with Dr. Acosta appointment went well. But the wait to have blood drawn at Quest was very long. Waiting for the Nurse to come and get me and get me was also long. I really like Dr. Acosta been seeing Her since December of 2003.

04/17/2025

Very professional and listened to all I had to explain. Didnt seem rushed. Explained eveything very well. Very reassuring.

03/15/2025

Dr. Acosta-Dickson immediately makes you feel like family. I feel safe in her care.

03/11/2025

Thorough and kind. My entire family loves her!

03/05/2025

The shame of it is that Dr Acosta is fantastic - it is her office and staff that are a complete mess. She was one of the most thorough and caring doctors I had ever seen in my life - only problem was messages would get confused and sometimes never even conveyed to her by them. There was a HUGE mix up when I left the practice at the end that caused me a lot of pain and problems mostly due to extreme lack of communication from her staff - not the doctor herself. If she ever is at a different location, I would love to be in her care again. She, herself is amazing. It is extremely unfortunate that she doesn’t have the staff at Meritas to back her up.

03/05/2025

Everyone is so nice at this office! Dr. Acosta-Dickson really takes the time to listen to your concerns and handles them with a common sense approach.

Dr. Acosta is the best Doctor I have ever had to treat me.she has a great bed did manner. And make you feel that she genuinely cares about your health..

This is the best office I have ever been too. The staff is very friendly and very helpful. Dr Acosta is so awesome. If you have something wrong she doesn't stop till she fixes it or finds someone that can. She spends time with you until you are down. She doesn't run you in and out like a lot of Drs do. I love this office. Highly recommend!!!!

09/19/2024

She (Dr. Acosta-Dickson) is was kind enough to fit me into her schedule when my primary care doctor couldn't. It was obvious to me she that was very busy but I still had an appointment and probably stayed late to see me. She was thorough and kind. Thank you Dr. Acosta-Dickson

Mom and I love Dr Acosta Dickson. She treats her fairly without judgement and makes sure she understands her suggestions.

08/14/2024

I’ve been looking for a primary care provider since moving from out of state and none clicked until I met Dr. Acosta-Dickson. I’ve since moved a few hours away and will continue to make the drive if that tells you anything. She listens and I never feel judged. Dr. Acosta-Dickson is honestly helping me get my life back. She helped me determine where my fatigue is coming from and is an advocate for my weight loss journey as well. I’d highly recommend to family and friends!

08/07/2024

Dr. Acosta was very helpful in explaining my options.

Great doctor . Very pro active and explains everything .

05/17/2024

Everybody was very nice to me. Right in & Right out. Answered all my questions to my liking...

05/03/2024

First point of contact, receptionist, waited less than 5 minutes greeted with professionalism. Next was Dr Antonette C.Acosta-Dickson, Nurse Assistant, she was very kind and patient, she took my vitals, she asked medical questions about my medications and any new information she could update on the lap top. The nurse concluded by letting me know Dr. Acosta-Dickinson would be with me shortly. Dr. Acosta-Dickinson always enters the room with a warm welcoming and a great smile that makes me feel comfortable. I feel I can talk to her on my medical issues without feeling embarrassed. I talked about why I was visiting her on May 2, 2024. Dr. Acosta- Dickinson asked me some questions and called her nurse back to the room as she did an examination. Dr. Acosta-Dickinson told me she was sending my test to the lab to get results and she would give me a call. She called the Pharmacy for a prescription. I have been a Cancer patient since 2015 and keeping my strength and faith believing I can get to the place I can live with a quality of life. Dr. Acosta-Dickinson saw my meltdown as I had tears of struggling on losing my hair a second time. She showed a mass of empathy, I will never forget her gentle kind words she shared to me as her patient. She is a great asset to Meritas and I would recommend her anytime. Sincerely S. Gasca

04/24/2024

She takes whatever time is needed to ask/answer questions/concerns about me as an individual unlike the Dr. I had previous to her. I never feel rushed and she clearly cares about me as a patient.

09/27/2023

Dr Acosta-Dixon is so professional, kind and empathetic. She spends time to find out your concerns and discusses the best treatment to move forward. I have been her patient for many years and I so appreciate her.

06/16/2023

Checked in 20 minutes early for my appointment. Was not seen/called in until 25 minutes after my appointment was scheduled. Other than the long wait, the nurse and Dr. Acosta - Dickson were both very professional, cordial and showed that they cared about my well being. Excellent care, thank you so much! 😊

06/16/2023

04/28/2023

Dr Acosta-Dickson is always ready to take the time to listen to any questions or concerns I have and gives me good and sound advice

04/27/2023

Because my previous Medical Group (building) closed, I needed to find a new Primary Care Physician. I had a great “New Patient” appointment with Dr. Acosta-Dickson yesterday! She was generous and thorough with her time and attention. I left my appointment knowing more and feeling better informed.

04/08/2023

New patient visit. She is very personable, and thorough. She spends as much time with you as you need. She is extremely knowledgeable. Great doctor!!

02/16/2023

Yes is the best dr I’ve ever had by far. She is very thorough. She doesn’t act like your stupid when you ask questions or suggest things. She is very open minded and unlike many other drs. So happy we found her!

01/31/2023

She is a wonderful physician and is always makes my girls feel comfortable and truly cares. She does not rush the appointments and she is very compassionate and professional. I travel 45 minutes for her to see my girls. Well worth it!! Keep doing a great job because I know healthcare is changing and been very challenging lately.

12/30/2022

Dr. Acosta Dixon was able to see me when I was experiencing blood pressure issues. She stayed late to talk with me and prescribe a med to help. Her nurses called me to check on me in the next several days. I truly appreciate her concern.

12/22/2022

Always a positive experience

12/22/2022

I've been a patient of Dr. Acosta-Dickson for years and am very pleased with the care she provides.

12/14/2022

Absolutely nothing bad to say But the waiting room for 58 minutes Was a little much with me being a heart patient. It’s hard to breathe with the damm mask on.

11/14/2022

Dr Acosta-Dickson is very professional and thorough. She encourages self awareness and is willing to listen, answer questions and suggest different medications or easy lifestyle changes for overall health improvements. Keeps you informed regarding options.

11/09/2022

Dr. Acosta-Dickson is an excellent physician. She listens to my concerns and always follows evidence based medicine. Her office staff is kind and supportive.

10/26/2021

Dr Acosta-Dixon is kind, knowledgeable, and professional. I would highly recommend her.

01/15/2021

She is one in a million!

10/09/2020

Dr. Acosta-Dickson is a consummate health care professional. She is 100% present and focused on you at every visit, and never rushing off to see the next patient while you still have unanswered questions. She deserves a better practice to back her up. One that returns phone calls. It used to be top notch, but has gone downhill in the past year.

03/26/2020

She listens to her patients. Very good manner. She actually got my elderly Mother to exercise. Through this time of virus, all precautions were taken and the front desk staff was very attentive when I asked about portal issues. So thankful for them all!

02/26/2020

Dr. Acosta-Dickson takes her time, attentive and thorough, which does me no good considering the staff backing her. No one ever answers the phone, they do not call back promptly, and I had my very first appointment cancelled and rescheduled when the Dr. took a day off. There is an online appointment setter, but it does not work unless you're a new patient. Staff confusion, arguing and personality conflicts have been on display to the waiting room. No matter how well I think this doctor is, If I cannot get an appointment, she's of no use to me. If you have the flu, and want Tamiflu within 24 hours how would I get it? Since I am more susceptible to illnesses due to age and an underlying medical issue, I cannot afford to get very sick without being seen. I researched awhile before I chose her, I'll research again to go elsewhere. The word Meritas will not be anywhere in any future office I might chose.

10/24/2019

The office doesn't call back and sends an email when they cancel my appointment.

10/22/2019

I have been going to Dr. Acosta-Dickson for 5 yrs. and appreciate her medical expertise, gift for truly listening, and compassion. I always feel I'm receiving excellent care. I would highly recommend her.

09/16/2019

So happy that someone referred this doctor to me! She is friendly and professional. I left my appointment with all of my questions answered. I felt as though she was listening and really trying to get to know me as a whole person. Fantastic experience!

06/20/2019

Very helpful

06/18/2019

My favorite physician

06/12/2019

100% happy with the care I have received from Dr. Acosta Dixon over the years.

05/13/2019

Good

05/06/2019

First time meeting her and she is awesome! Very easy to talk to and she listens and understands!

02/01/2019

Great Dr and person! She takes the time to answer all my questions.

12/12/2018

Very attentive and thorough

12/11/2018

Dr Acosta is the best doctor i have had in the past decade. She's very professional and dedicate it. She Listens to my needs and that what I live about her. The staff are also very professional but Katiusca Acosta is very good specially helping with the bilingual.

11/16/2018

Absolutely one of the best doctors I've ever had in my 60 years of life. Competent, knowledgeable, kind, caring and takes the time needed to understand you. Does NOT automatically put you on medications - and she LISTENS! Love this doc

06/25/2018

The two negative reviews are about the nurse/s NOT about Dr. Acosta Dickson. In fact, each time my wife and I have been seen by Dr Acosta Dickson over the years we have experienced only outstanding care and attention to our care. Many doctors spend only a very short time with their patients. Dr Acosta Dickson spends as much time with her patients as necessary for their well being. She takes her time while examining us. She's very compassionate.

03/15/2018

In my experience I found out she did not run tests I needed, found out I was on medications I did not need. Very quick to put you on medications. Would not recommend.

11/08/2017

Dr. Acosta-Dickson is absolutely amazing! She not only is very knowledgeable and thorough, but she makes me feel comfortable and listened to. I don’t go to the dr. often, but every time I am there she makes it seem as though she has all the time in the world to listen to me. I have recently started taking my Mom to see her and she’s so kind and caring with her, as well. The entire staff, from the front desk to Dr. Acosta-Dickson’s nurse, are always very nice and welcoming.

10/12/2017

Stay away from this place! They are HORRIBLE!! Nurses and even the nursing supervisor are VERY RUDE. My mom ended up in the hospital due to their lack of care of not following up on results of her lab work. Cannot get anyone to ever call you back. I left a message with the nursing supervisor and never received a call back. Had to call back and demand to speak to her. I could not believe how extremely RUDE, UNPROFESSIONAL, and UNCARING she was!! Needless to say will never go back to this practice. Would not recommend them to anyone!!

06/21/2017

I called to talk to the nurse, she was extremely rude. I called to see if they could refill my prescriptions for another month since I'm away for the summer for an internship, and the nurse was not understanding and was just plain rude. When I said nicely I guess I'll have to go see another doctor she replied that's your choice and have a good day and hung up. Very very very rude.

04/12/2017

My experiences with Dr Acosta-Dickson have all been top notch! She's very knowledgeable and easy to talk to. She helped me immensely in navigating through my recent cancer treatments and I highly recommend her for all your medical needs. I was thoroughly impressed with her communication skills and staying on top of recent treatment information. She opened ongoing Clinical Trial data on her laptop during my most recent visit to share the latest info available on neuropathy. That's top notch!

01/18/2017

Dr Dickson was attentive until I had an issue with medicine she dismissedme actually looked down her nose at me as though she smelled something unpleasant, me. I went back to Gashland. I heard they were only allowed 2 issues per patient visit.

04/04/2016

Dr. Acosta Dickson is AWESOME. She's so laid back and practical. I've been a patient with Acosta-Disckson for almost a year now and every visit has been pleasant. She listens to understand your problems and not to just reply, gives you practical options, and is a very effective communicator. I would highly recommend her.

01/16/2016

Very kind and patient with all 3 of my kiddos running around the office. Very thorough and detailed oriented. I was dreading changing Drs however I was very pleased.

12/17/2015

I scheduled an appointment on 12/16. I had to take time off from work and ask permission to leave work. I scheduled my appointment a month prior. When I arrived, I was told my appointment had been cancelled. They never noticed me they took the liberty of cancelling. The office lady and the nurse were both disrespectful. While mistakes happen and I understand they happen, the staff did not try to find a solution. My time off was wasted. Patients should be notified of cancellation per courtesy!
