As usual, Dr. Dawson's manner was welcoming, and before examining my eyes, she asked me for an update on my double vision, and on my appointment with the specialist that she arranged for me to see.. After listening to my concerns and completing her examination, she told me her findings, patiently answered my questions and recommended next steps . My eye care is in excellent hands
