Dawson Med providers, established in 2021, share Dr. Gutsin’s approach to personalized, relationship-based care. Many team members knew Dr. Gutsin personally and have long respected the way he cared for his patients. Two providers—Jan Pixton, PA-C and Dr. Umar Bowers, MD—will be seeing the majority of former Magnolia Family Medicine patients at Dawson Med Primary Care located at 608 Dawson Street. 

Your current appointment has been cancelled and will be rescheduled, potentially for a different day and/or time with Dawson Med. We encourage you to transition with the Magnolia Family Medicine Team to Dawson Med, and you will receive a call to discuss your care. Patients with immediate or urgent needs will be given priority and rescheduled first with a Dawson Med provider. If unable to wait for an appointment, Dawson Med Urgent Care at 608 Dawson Street is open Monday – Sunday 8 am to 6 pm.

For now, all patients will be seen at Dawson Med’s main clinic at 608 Dawson Street. This may be less convenient, so plans are in the works to care for patients at the Magnolia Family Medicine office on Shipyard Blvd in the future. If more convenient, Dawson Med also offers telehealth visits.

No action is needed on your part. Magnolia Family Medicine and Dawson Med are working together to securely transfer all relevant medical records. Dawson Med providers will be able to continue your care with a full understanding of your medical history. If you choose not to continue care with the MFM Team at Dawson Med, your records can be transferred with a signed HIPAA release form.

Any prescriptions, including refills written by Dr. Gutsin prior to June 5, 2025 are still valid to fill at your pharmacy.
