What patients are saying:
"We love Dr. Pickens so much that we drive from Fort Bragg to Southport just to see him.  Not only is he knowledgeable and kind but he also connects with my children in a way that most physicians can't.  He never rushes through our visit and always takes the time to answer our questions, using educational material to help explain diagnoses.  We choose Dr. Pickens because we trust him and he makes us comfortable."
