When I discovered I was expecting my first child, a relative recommended Dr. Dodd, and I have been a patient ever since. My oldest child will be 25 next month, which speaks to the trust and confidence Dr. Dodd has earned over the years. Dr. Dodd is proactive, informative, and attentive. He takes the time to listen to concerns and is open to frank, thoughtful discussions. Although he is clearly very knowledgeable, he explains medical information in terminology that is easy for someone outside the medical field to understand. He inspires confidence while remaining personable and approachable. His staff has also always been considerate, welcoming, and professional. The combination of Dr. Dodd's expertise, communication style, and genuine willingness to listen has made him a physician I have trusted for 25 years. I am grateful for the exceptional care he has provided throughout the years and would highly recommend him to others. read more

In 2013, while seeking a new doctor, I reached out to multiple providers with questions about additional pregnancies. Dr. Dodd was the only one who responded promptly, even calling me at 8 o'clock that night. During our 20-minute conversation, he attentively addressed all my concerns without making me feel rushed. I subsequently became pregnant with my fourth child and chose a vba3c attempt, with Dr. Dodd offering unwavering support and staying by my side throughout labor. Despite advising against a vba3c, he respected my healthcare choice. After about twelve hours of labor I decided to get a cesarean and he delivered my son via cesarean, resulting in a perfect recovery. Two years later, he supported me in a similar manner during the birth of my daughter, ensuring a controlled and safe experience. My last child a couple years later was born via scheduled C-section and I had another phenomenal recovery and almost no scaring. Dr. Dodd's exceptional bedside manner, care, knowledge, and ability to handle pressure make him an outstanding doctor for labor and delivery. I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone seeking exceptional care. read more

This is my second appointment with Dr. Dodd. The first time was a general check-up, and I knew immediately that he was better for me than my previous OB-GYN. This second appointment was for my Nexplanon removal. The staff made sure during my first appointment that my insurance would cover the removal so that there would be no surprises on my end. Each time, I am greeted with exceptional customer service, from the reception desk to the MAs. Dr. Dodd has excellent bedside manner, was respectful of me and my partner, was humorous in a calming way, and made the Nexplanon removal nearly painless and quick while holding a whole conversation! He also presents various options, but ultimately, you feel comfortable enough to make the final decision for your body without judgment. Great guy, and great doctor! read more

I highly recommend Dr. Dodd for your obstetrician!!! Not only are his credentials outstanding, his bedside manner is wonderful. I'm definitely struggling with fibroids and Dr. Dodd went through all me options and we choose the appropriate approach and I feel confident in him. In addition to Dr. Dodd helping me, his staff is very kind, caring, and their customer service excels in every way. Thank you Dr. Dodd and staff read more

Dr. Dodd is hands-down the BEST OB-GYN ever! He is professional, personable, emotionally intelligent, sensitive, honest, funny, easy to talk to and caring. Of all the patients that he obviously sees in a year, he gives you the impression that you are the most memorable to him. He genuinely takes good care of his patients. I don't ever want him to retire - until he is able to clone himself! read more

Dr.Dodd is amazing! I feel so blessed and grateful to have him as my OBGYN! He makes the women's physical so easy and comfortable! He is amazing at what he does, I would recommend him to anyone who is hesitant about visiting an OBGYN and/or scheduling a Pap Smear! He was my first OBGYN and I would never think of visiting any other! read more

Transsexual hysterectomy. I am FTM trans individual. The care and respect I received from Dr. Does and his staff was amazing! He advocated for me at the insurance level and his staff was friendly and caring pre and post op. I can't recommend him enough. Finding healthcare as a trans individual can be difficult and scary, but Dr. Dodd and his staff make you confident about the care you will receive. read more

I would like to start off by saying Dr. Dodd is a very wonderful caring and compassionate doctor. You don't feel rushed and Dr. Dodd listens to your problems/concerns and will do his best to help you. I'm very grateful for all of the help I received and the MA/office staff were very helpful and nice. read more

About a week ago I went in for a Pap smear, didn't get the results I wanted so Dr. Dodd called and spoke with me about his findings. Got me in that same week for a colposcopy, I was TERRIFIED, 29 years old and going through a biopsy was a HUGE deal for me. I messaged him on MyHealthOnline around 11pm a few nights ago, and he INSTANTLY got back to me about 20 min later reassuring me everything was going to be alright! Even then I called the office about 4x regarding questions about the biopsy (you know freaking out) I spoke with Rayhana his assistant there, trying to juggle work and talking to her about the procedure at the same time wanting to know if getting numbed or even taking something to ease me would work better because I am HORRIBLE with pain, and she told me that was not necessary and that I'd be ok. Still I was a bit nervous. Today I went in for my procedure and I was still hanging by a thread, anxiety kicking in, shaking, all types of issues the doctor came in, (as always joking around, which I love!) made me feel at ease... I didn't have anyone there with me so Rayhana being the most amazing person she is, came around and held my hand through it all.. (with covid and all you'd think everyone would be all iffy about touching people but she was a TROOPER!) Dr. Dodd and her were talking me through as they were doing the procedure, (he is VERY good at making you relaxed and distracting you at the same time!) and with in seconds it was done, now it was a bit uncomfortable but it was not all that bad.. now the cramping and after effects are what they said it would be and I am a bit sore but the procedure itself was not excruciating. I have been dealing with specifically these two for about 4 years now and I would not have it anyway else!! You two are AMAZING!! keep at it!! Word of advice to patients who are getting the colposcopy; NO NEED FOR THE NUMBING SHOT ! You got this !! read more

Dr. Dodd is phenomenal! I've been his patient for almost 2 years. My first appointment with him, my husband and I found out we had a non viable pregnancy and Dr. Dodd and his team were so amazing through that entire process. From the very beginning he was so personable, kind and understanding. He answered all of my questions and made sure I knew I could always email him if I had more. When I would email him, he or his team always responded quickly. Dr. Dodd was amazing with my next pregnancy as well and delivered my son in August via c section. All the nurses kept asking who did my c section because the incision looked amazing. It healed great too! Shout out to his amazing team Alicia and Rayhana! I cant forget them, they are so amazing and such an asset to Dr. Dodds team. So if your looking for the best OBGYN, Dr. Dodd and his team are your people! read more

I can't express enough into words how grateful I am to have Dr. Dodd as my OB. He was with me from the start that me and my husband were trying to conceive until my delicate pregnancy and life-threatening postpartum complication. I am alone here in America, no direct relatives, only my husband and his family. But during those time of postpartum complication, Dr. Dodd stood by my side, making me feel that I am not alone and I will be okay. He is a very hands-on doctor. He visited and checked me everyday. Most importantly, he made me feel like a family and nothing can beat that. I won't choose any other OB than him. Dr. Dodd is the best doctor and surgeon you could ask for. I would give him more than 10 stars if I could. Photo below is my little family with our miracle baby, thanks to Dr. Dodd. read more

Update March 2019, Just had my one year with dr. Dodd. He's still so nice and as always addresses all my concerns with patience. Thanks for being a great doctor!!! I have had six pregnancies and five babies. This last pregnancy I had Dr. Dodd as my physician. He was absolutely amazing. He never made me feel rushed at any appointment and always took time to answer any question I had. We have some great OB/GYN's in our community but he is the best I've ever had! He is genuine and compassionate in every situation. This pregnancy resulted in loss and through the delivery he was there and supportive and has continued to be available and supportive even after, during the grieving process. Thank you Dr. Dodd for your professionalism, patience and kindness. 100% recommend him! read more

Dr. Dodd has always shown a great deal of compassion and care for his patients. I recommend him to all my friends who are in need of an OB. read more

After I suffered a miscarriage, I started to see Dr. Dodd who right off the bat told me he was very sorry that this happened. The fact that he was very kind to me during that sensitive time in my life meant the world to me. After a couple of months, I became pregnant and saw Dr. Dodd. I was a little worried because I had gained some weight after the miscarriage but never once did Dr. Dodd wag his finger at me because of my weight. He delivered my son in July 2015 and I swore I wasn't going to do this again. Well, I am currently five months pregnant with a little girl. Dr. Dodd has been so helpful throughout this pregnancy and anytime I have a question, he responds quickly. I would recommend him to anyone and I do. Thank you, Dr. Dodd for all that you do. read more

Dr. Dodd is THE BEST! SOO good that even Pokemon love him!!!

Dr Dodd is AMAZING! He is so caring and genuine. He has been my Dr. for several years and is always professional yet personable. He listens to concerns and really takes time to get to know his patients. I am in a same sex marriage and he has always been open and understanding, he never passes judgment and always treats my spouse and I with dignity and respect. I would totally recommend Dr. Dodd to anyone looking to receive quality care. He is helping us fulfill our dreams of becoming parents again and I believe he truly cares about my health and future! He also just proudly delivered my first grandson. He was so accommodating allowing us to be in there to be a part of the birth. I suffer from anxiety and he always takes his time to make sure I not only understand my treatment but also that I'm comfortable with it. read more

P. Adam Dodd, M.D - My first grandson he delivered. I love that my daughter and I have chosen him as or OB because of the personable experience we receive. - Obstetricians & Gynecologists Near Me - Stockton, California

Dr. Dodd has been a fantastic OBGYN for my wife. He's been so helpful in all of our appointments and has a great manner about him. He's extremely knowledgeable and has been able to answer all of our questions in a simple and easy to understand manner. We've been doing our recent appointments over video conferencing which has been convenient and most importantly safe. We highly recommend Dr. Dodd for anyone looking for an OBGYN. read more

I love Dr. Dodd his level of expertise is phenomenal. Let's just start by saying that. This is my 2nd child my first was born at 25w 2d, once I told him that him and his staff spang into action I had a cerclage placed and was put on weekly progesterone shots. His staff which is surprisingly only two very professional young ladies named quanisha and cecila, who are always available and on top of EVERYTHING they always make the visits super quick. It's nothing that they could tell me about my pregnancy that I wouldn't do. If I had not been for Dr. Dodd I don't think that I would have made it thus far in my current pregnancy tomorrow the 4th I will be 35weeks and it's all because of him. Also He is the chief director of L&D at St . Joseph so he will always get it right. read more

P. Adam Dodd, M.D - What Doctor do you know, that will take time out of his THANKSGIVING DAY to check on you. Dr. Dodd that's who. I truly love this guy. - Obstetricians & Gynecologists Near Me - Stockton, California

I absolutely love Dr Dodd, he is an amazing doctor and his bed side manner is impeccable .

Highly recommend Dr Dodd for any GYNO or OBGYN needs read more

I wish I could give Dr. Dodd more than 5 stars!! He is Amazing.. I was Blessed to find him. I am a High Risk patient and had 2 stillbirths prior to seeing Dr. Dodd. From the moment I met him I felt at ease. He told me we're having this Baby!! He was so patient and Understanding of my concerns and fears. He put together a plan right away. Referred me to specialists and put me on the Makena shot. He calls after hours or on weekends just to check up on you!! He is very responsive to emails via MyHealth... The staff and nurses at both the Lodi and Stockton locations are great!! Absolutely love Rayhana.. So in the past 2 1/2 years Dr. Dodd has overseen both my pregnancies. I'm blessed to say I have 2 Beautiful and Healthy Babies!! I wouldn't go to any other Doctor!! It should be noted I originally came from another Doctor's office where they not only over booked their patients but they acted like you were a burden. (Dr. Miller/ Gills office) I was extremely disappointed. With my situation I needed a Doctor that actually cared. So with this said... Dr. Dodd is Highly Recommended!! Thank you Dr. Dodd for everything you have done for my family and I. read more

Dr. Dodd has been my doctor for a few years and has always put my wants and needs first. He delivered my son last year and everything went perfectly. When I told him I wanted to get my tubes out right away he asked me questions to make sure it was really what I wanted, but never judged me on my decision. I recommend him to all my friends. read more

Dr. Dodd was my surgeon for abdominal myomectomy. My surgery went great. I had a smooth recovery, and my incisions look great (Cosmetically). Overall, Dr. Dodd and his staff are very professional, compassionate, kind, and knowledgeable. I recommend him. read more

I can't recommend Dr. Dodd enough. I've had Dr. Dodd as my obgyn for the past two years and I've only had great experiences with him and his staff. He is kind and takes the time to answer all your questions, no matter how silly they may be. He releases labs right away and always responds to messages on the my health system immediately. If my message ever sounded a bit too frantic or stressed, he calls me rather than just sending a message. I never felt like I had to push to get something looked at or addressed, he has a proactive approach. Finding a great doctor is difficult, they have a lot of patients to see and paper work to complete. I never felt like a hassle or a drain on his time. Again, would highly recommend (as I have to numerous friends). read more

Dr. Dodd is personable,thoughtful, efficient, and he is a great patient-advocate. He also is careful when doing in-office procedures. I am very happy (100% satisfied) with his care and have complete trust in his knowledge as my OB Gyn. read more

Dr. Dodd is the best Obgyn I have ever been to. He has an amazing bedside manner and is very good at what he does. He just delivered my first baby 1 month ago today and was absolutely wonderful. I had a very worrisome pregnancy as I had several losses prior to this one and Dr. Dodd and his staff held my hand every step of the way to ease my mind throughout the entire pregnancy. I am so grateful! read more

I adore Dr. Dodd, he is one of the best. With my last pregnancy, I had left my previous OB (in Modesto) who was unable to allow me to have a trial of labor for a VBA2C, after his practice opted to ban them (although he personally, disagreed). I was encouraged by this same OB to find a provider at Alta Bates in Berkeley, as they have a very high VBA(2)C rate. I did indeed find a provider there at a perinatal office, who ultimately delivered the baby VBA2C several months later. I was living in Stockton at the time, and did not wish to make the commute into Berkeley once a month for monitoring, so I saw Dr. Dodd first. As it turned out, he has privileges at Alta Bates, and was very supportive of my decision...even agreeing to be my local monitoring physician until it came time to deliver. I had seen him prior to this, a few years earlier...but was unaware that he was VBAC friendly at the time, so went to another OB in Modesto. At any rate, he was very honest with me and agreed that my best bet for actually getting my TOL, was to deliver at Alta Bates (as not all of his constitutes in his local practice would have supported my decision). In the end, I spent three days hospitalized with prodromal labor before I delivered. He just happened to be one of the doc's on call on my second day there, and it was so great to see his familiar face! I'm so grateful to him for all his kindness and support throughout that pregnancy and beyond. He was always so great to respond to my email messages immediately, and was so helpful in helping me along the way in that journey. The last time I saw him at my six week postpartum visit, we were about to make the move down to San Diego. He hugged me and wished me "good luck" at this last visit...I will always be grateful to him for his kindness and personal touch that he brought to my experience as his patient. read more

Ethically not a good person. I was shocked at the things i saw happening in the office and my experience on labor and delivery with him just showed me that he is not present at all. Don't go to him. Save yourself a bad experience!! read more

Dr. Dodd is not only my obgyn but a friend. After being told for years that I would never be able to have children, he was able to help me make my dreams come true twice. I now have a handsome son and beautiful daughter that were safely delivered via c-section by him. He is very knowledgeable, and takes to time to make sure you know what's going on and will answer every question you have. I would recommend him to everyone and anyone. He is to me the best gynecologist that I've ever been to. read more

Dr Dodd is so personable. Made me feel totally at ease. He made sure I understood everything and gave me plenty of time to ask questions. And he was very thorough in determining what the issues were that I was experiencing. Great Doc! read more

Best OB/GYN I've had in years! Very caring and kind individual. Didn't even have time to finish my paperwork before I was called in! The staff was as courteous as the Doctor himself. He was a true gentleman and I'm sending my daughter to him as well. He's the only POSITIVE experience with a Sutter Gould Doctor. I recommend him to anyone who wants attentive and gentle care. read more

Dr. Dodd and his team are experienced, caring and friendly professionals. While no one wants to have a reason to go to the doctor, not even for annual check ups, they make it a pleasant experience. When there is a concern or medical issue, they treat them promptly and with great empathy. Dr. Dodd responds to email quickly too which is so very helpful in this fast paced daily life. I'm a Nana now - well past the stages that so many have written about and he is really good with the things that we face at this age. I always feel comfortable explaining things to him and to his team. read more

My wife has been experiencing serious symptoms after recently finding out that she's pregnant. We needed an earlier appointment than our initial OBGYN could offer, so attempted to give the offices of Dr. Dodd a try. We had an appointment for 7:50 am today (6/24) and were on track to be there by 7:35 am to allow enough time for paperwork. As we're heading out of the door, we get a call saying that we could not attend the appointment because an over the phone "abstract health screening" is required prior to appointments. This would be understandable had their team conveyed this upon scheduling and prior to the morning of the actual appointment. We explained that we were never given any instructions on this or a prescreening appointment and now all of a sudden being mentioned less than 40 minutes from when we were already scheduled to meet with the doctor. Mind you, they did conduct some type of health screening when making the appointment, but now requiring an additional last minute screening. At this point, we are waiting in our vehicle in front of our house waiting for the final verdict on if we should still leave for the appointment. I explained the confusion caused by their scheduling team, and Kalina advised she was able to work it out to where we could still make the appointment. She explained that we needed to arrive by 7:50 am. We explained that we would be cutting it close since we had been waiting in front of our house trying to sort out the confusion. We arrived in the hospital parking lot by 7:49 pm, I drop my wife of at the front door, I go park , and my wife made it to the office by 7:53 pm. By the time I make it up to the office, Julie (front desk) comes out to explain that the doctor had to take a meeting and that we would have to wait until 9:00 am because WE were late. Excuse me?!?! No, we weren't late by choice! Your team's mishandling of the supposed process made us 3 minutes late. I emphasized this while retrieving the supervisor's incomplete contact information (wouldn't provide email), and Julie just ignored me not acknowledging my justified frustration. I explained to them that my wife was robbed of the opportunity to make other arrangements to address the symptoms she's been experiencing had this office not mishandled processing her appointment. We both had to take the morning off work. They seemed to care less! If they can't handle what should be a simple routine initial appointment, then how can anyone trust them with safely ensuring a baby is properly brought into this world. read more

As I have called 3x to try and get an appt after reading yelp reviews and am not impressed. All three times, no one picked up Nor did it got to even a voicemail. Might be a good doctor, impossible to tell if you can't even get someone to answer the phone. read more

It is hard to find an ob/gyn that does not make you dread each visit. Dr. Dodd is an amazing doctor and those who work with him are great too. I recently had my first child and Dr. Dodd was my doctor. My pregnancy was very hard on me and difficult. In the first trimester I had complications and throughout the rest of the pregnancy I was sick and eventually pulled early from work and ended up having my son 3.5 weeks early. Throughout everything Dr. Dodd was great. Each time that I went for a visit and had a silly question he never made me feel dumb for asking. His answers were honest and blunt, he also reminded me often that "I chose to do this" which made me laugh each time. His personality is great, his sense of humor made things much easier to deal with. One thing that I will say is that at first when I would go in with questions, I would question what he answered. After about the third time of doing this I realized that I could take what he said at face value and had no reason to question it. He was always right, if I went in with an issue and thought it was the worst he would tell me exactly what it was (and it was never the worst). He is the only Dr. that I have ever had that I do not question anymore. Even now after my son has been delivered I still have had to see him due to issues that I have had. He takes the time to respond to my emails and has even called me more than once after hours or on the weekend to check on me or answer a question that I sent via email (even when he was not on call). I have also been able to walk into his office, without an appointment and be seen after a short wait. In my opinion Dr. Dodd goes above and beyond what most other Dr.'s do. Had I had any other Dr. I am not sure my delivery would have gone so smoothly. If I were crazy enough to go through a second pregnancy it would most definitely be under the care of Dr. Dodd. read more

I love Dr Dodd. He doesn't make me feel rushed at all. In fact, he makes me feel like he is very interested not only in my health, but the concerns that are important to me. He always answers my questions and emails quickly. He is very knowledgable, so he knows most answers off of the top of his head, so I can see where he may come of as "rushing" you, but I do not believe this to be the case. He probably gets the same or similar questions frequently, so he knows the answers, and usually the answers are quite simple. I prefer a simpler, more direct answer rather than an elaborate one. This is my first pregnancy so I do have quite a few concerns, and he is great about answering my questions and making me feel comfortable. I would recommend him to anyone needing an OBGYN. read more

Dr. Dodd is an amazing doctor. He answered all of my questions and responds to emails quickly. Hard to find a great doctor who is not only kind but actually remembers you and makes you feel comfortable. I am so glad I chose to see Dr. Dodd, I would highly recommend him. He is professional and friendly, he really is the best. read more
