David Dickerson, M.D.

"I Can't say enough wonderful things about Dr. Dickerson. He is Knowledgeable, kind, patient, and compassionate. He has been extremely helpful with my chronic abdominal nerve pain after I was brushed aside by so many other doctors. He is someone you want on your team. His PA Joanne is also amazing and they will take you seriously and do everything possible to help you with pain that other doctors may have dismissed or have not been able to treat effectively. Thank you Dr Dickerson & Team "

"I was referred to Dr. David Dickerson by my vascular surgeon following a thoracic outlet syndrome (TOS) diagnosis and compressed nerves in the cervical spine after a car accident. From my very first visit, it was clear that Dr. Dickerson possesses extensive knowledge not only about TOS but also about managing chronic pain, including the whiplash pain I've endured. Dr. Dickerson was the first doctor to truly understand the profound impact of this diagnosis on my daily life. He took the time to listen, assess my condition thoroughly, and provide a clear plan of services and procedures to help me move toward recovery. His approach gave me hope and a sense of direction after struggling with pain for so long. Beyond Dr. Dickerson's expertise, his team of nurse practitioners is nothing short of amazing. They are attentive, compassionate, and work seamlessly to support his patients. Together, they create a care environment where you feel truly seen and supported. I am incredibly grateful for the care I've received from Dr. Dickerson and his team, and I would highly recommend him to anyone dealing with complex chronic pain or nerve-related conditions."

"Thank you Dr. Dickerson and staff! I am able to enjoy life without the constant reminder of my abdominal pain. The work Dr Dickerson and his team has done for me is incredible. If you suffer from chronic pancreatitis or abdominal pain I would highly recommend. My story is one of self destruction and I am eternally grateful for this man and his team!"

"I cannot begin to express my gratitude to Dr. David Dickerson and his wonderful team at NorthShore Medical Group. I spent 27 long years suffering from severe chronic nerve pain across the right side of my body (neck/arm/leg). During that time, I tried every potential solution under the sun -- from medications to injections to surgeries (over 50 inches of my back cut open in total) and on and on that did virtually nothing to consistently ease my discomfort. After thoroughly and correctly diagnosing my complex long-term pain situation, the doctor suggested a world-class spinal stimulator. Despite some trepidation, I decided to move ahead with the procedure ... and it completely changed my life! :) On a 1-10 scale, my pain has dropped from a typical 8/9 to a 3/4 on average, and it's only been 6 weeks. Today I can sit, stand, type and exercise again. For the first time in years, I'm even genuinely hopeful about returning to F/T work. It isn't hyperbole to say that Dr. Dickerson and his caring, professional team literally saved my life. I'm incredibly grateful -- not merely for the positive results of the procedure -- but for these professionals who remain committed to supporting me over the next decade as I learn how to maximize the pain relief this amazing technology offers. To anyone reading this who is desperate for a viable, significant, permanent reduction in debilitating chronic nerve pain, I sincerely encourage you to schedule an appointment with Dr. David Dickerson."

"I am beyond fortunate to be a patient of Dr. Dickerson. After struggling with long covid for almost a year, I was losing hope that I would ever find a doctor who was familiar with long covid and kept up with the research. I'm so glad I made an appointment with Dr. Dickerson before giving up my search. At my first appointment, Dr. Dickerson listened to my concerns and took them seriously. I left with a treatment plan, which included low dose naltrexone, a referral for autonomic testing, and an appointment for a stellate ganglion block. While I still have some symptoms, they are manageable. Dr. Dickerson gave me my life back. I am forever grateful. I cannot recommend Dr. Dickerson and his staff enough."

"Whether he's providing treatment or advice Dr. Dickerson maintains a patient-centered approach to care. He treats the individual, not cases or conditions. And he treats everyone, including his colleagues with respect and compassion. His extensive experience, up-to-date knowledge, attention to detail, collaborative nature and nuanced thinking benefit his patients and truly make him an expert. Dr. Dickerson excels at treating the complex chronic pain and symptoms associated with rare and under-diagnosed medical conditions such as Dysautonomia, POTS, hEDS, Thoracic Outlet Syndrome, Thoracic Disc Herniation and Occipital Neuralgia. Working in tandem with neurology and vascular surgery Dr. Dickerson promptly identified, diagnosed and treated Thoracic Outlet Syndrome. A condition that had been problematic for years and the diagnosis missed by 15+ physicians. He also successfully treated complex chronic pain and symptoms caused by multiple medical conditions in which the pathophysiology is poorly understood by medicine. Dr. Dickerson's soft skills are as polished as his hard skills. He fosters an environment that empowers his patients. His warm and witty demeanor, coupled with his high emotional intelligence (he can read a room) has always led me to feel that my preferences are considered, my individuality respected and my voice heard. His colleagues (PA and nurses) are as knowledgeable as they are kind and facilitate communication with Dr. Dickerson. Scheduling appointments can be clumsy at times and perhaps my subjective experience. At the end of the day, Dr. Dickerson's care improved my quality of life and I'm grateful."

"Very thorough. Always very up to date on newest in industry. Great personality and skills"
