Birmingham Age-Herald Birmingham, AL "X-RAY FIRST USED BY DRS. DOZIER – Birmingham Physicians Led South In Use Of New Discovery"
Grandfather, father and son, Dozier and Dozier, physicians, have been pioneers not only in two states but also in the use of X-Rays and electrical treatment of the sick.
The first private sanitarium in the south was founded in Atlanta by Dr. T. H. Dozier, grandfather of Dr. Byron Dozier and Dozier in this city. Dr. T. H. Dozier opened this hospital for his own patients just before the War Between the States, and shortly after the first gun had been fired on Fort Sumter, the Confederacy took possession of the building to care for the wounded, Dr. Dozier being commissioned as major and placed in charged.
Dr. Dozier never recovered from the great strain under which he labored during that time of stress and, upon the cessation of hostilities, his son and nephew established the firm of Dozier and Dozier in Atlanta.
The son of Major Dozier, Dr. O. T. Dozier, came to this city in 1890, opening offices here, where, in 1897, he was joined in his practice by Dr. Byron Dozier, after the latter had served in the United States Marine hospital during the war with Spain.
Dozier and Dozier were the first physicians in the south to make use of the X-Ray in treating cancers and other diseases, making practical use of this ray in 1899. Since then they have used the most modern of electrical appliances in treating nervous disorders and are noted for this work among the medical profession of today.
