Went to see mom on her birthday. she wasn't herself. now on the phone she says she has knee cap dislocation. should i go back and see her doctor?

Yes: Yes, i would recommend you go with her to see her doctor. Most likely he will suggest conservative treatment with bracing, medication for symptoms and not surgery.

Yes: If you are concerned that the information she gave you is accurate at least a phone call could clarify what exactly she has and what was recommended.
