Dr. Dawson is amazing and I can not recommend her enough. I’m always a little uneasy when it comes to my eyes, but she has a way of making visits feel easy and manageable. She’s calm, thoughtful, and always leaves me with clear, practical next steps that I can apply right away. As always, I will be back
