Patrick Charles Dillawn's Online Review Report Card

I had eating problems and digestion problems. Evaded discussion. It just blew me off. He left the practice he was at. When I tried to make an appointment, I had to hunt him down. Found him practicing at Seton Hospital in Round Rock, TX. Again blew me off on my dietary problems. Also, I had to find another doctor to refill my prescriptions. I would not recommend him if he were the last doctor on earth.

He performed an appendectomy on my mother in 2019, which resulted in a blockage, requiring a second surgery. His bedside manner was awful, he gave my mother conflicting information and when she was confused he called her a liar, then told me that she was “very unpleasant” and that “patients who are pleasant get better care.” We requested another doctor for the second surgery.

Our family has had a horrible experience with this doctor. He performed my mother's gastric bypass surgery 9 years ago. She has had substantial difficulty with the bypass and significant trouble with absorbing protein. When she went to see him to troubleshoot the issue, he was abrasive, dismissive, and generally unhelpful. Now she's having more difficulty and needs surgery. His first response? Refused surgery due to not having seen her recently enough. Huh? Do not recommend this guy. Not sure about his work, and his attitude leaves something to be desired.

I see that Dillawn is teaching now. This is good. Anything to get him out of the surgery! He makes mistakes. Do not go to him for surgery. I would not send anyone to him. I make sure to say his name in the negative to anyone I know who is planning on having surgery anywhere in Texas. Try another surgeon.

He almost killed me by perforating my esophagus. Go to someone else. He doesn't care about you.

His office is not the problem. The problem lies with the doctor. I wouldn't let him operate on my cat.

Dr. Dillawn is an outstanding surgeon. His professional manner is tempered by his caring demeanor and his patience and willingness to listen to and answer every one of our questions and concerns. I trusted him with my life and would do so again without hesitation.

I had my Gallbladder removed on April 22, 2016 by Dr. Dillawn. The entire experience was much easier than I anticipated it would be. I healed very quickly (it was done orthoscopically) and had no post surgery infection. Dr. Dillawn was very professional during all my interactions with him. The staff at the Williamson County Surgical Center were also very professional. I would highly recommend Dr. Dillawn to whomever requires surgery.

A very confident and professional surgeon! I felt in great care from beginning and throughout. Think he should get more recognition as he is a wonderful doctor.

I had the unfortunate misfortune for choosing Dr. Dillawn as my doctor for laparoscopic band surgery. Ten years later, I am still suffering the consequences of having chosen Dr. Dillawn as my physician. My esphophagus was perforated during the surgery. I spent four months in the hospital. I now have COPD from my lungs collapsing. I still have GERD and a hiatal hernia which he was supposed to fix during the surgery. My health has been compromised for the rest of my life due to this experience.
