We had a wonderful experience with Dr. Dawson as our daughter was dealing with multiple skin conditions. Dr. Dawson was very patient, taking the time to thoroughly examine her and explain the issues in a way that put us at ease. His recommendations were spot-on, and we've already seen an improvement in her skin. It's clear he genuinely cares about his patients, and his calm, reassuring manner made a challenging situation much easier. We're very grateful to have found such a knowledgeable and compassionate pediatrician. Highly recommend!
