Excellent physician
Dr Dawson is knowledgeable, willing to answer patients’ questions, and has a warm and welcoming demeanor. Her technician Ann is also patient, experienced, and encouraging (which helps when one feels self-conscious about difficulty reading the eye chart).
Optimal diagnostician: a veritable Sherlock Holmes when figuring out the Genesis of an ophthalmological problem — leaving no stone unturned!
Excellent Physician and Surgeon!
Knowledgeable, thorough, listens well and patiently even though she is my non-stop busy.
Excellent work
Excellent service from Dr. Dawson.
