Very friendly doctor. He took time to listen carefully about my baby's eczema condition and answered our many questions. And the main thing we waited only 2 weeks to have an appointment instead of 2 months for nhs dermatologist..

Could not fault Dr Dawson from start to finish. Gave us more information about our baby than we’ve received from taking her back and forth for 8 months at our doctors. Despise the 2 hour plus journey there we would 100% return to see Dr Dawson if ever needed to again.
