Excellent doctor super great bedside manner very informative five stars
Dr. Dawson explains thoroughly what is happening with my vision and provides competent answers to all of my questions.
She is right on top of everything on my record and explains everything well. Glad she is so much younger than me (I'm 83) so I don't have to worry about her retiring, unlike some of my other doctors.
I’m very happy to have Lindsay Dawson as my Doctor for my eyes.
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
