Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Excellent
I saw Dr Dawson 3 times over 4 years, I sought him out because he was a DO and I wanted an alternative to an MD which I had previously. He was very kind and calm during meetings. He took profuse notes and made a point to push care internally that I was interested in pursuing. I felt his advice was objective and impartial. He did not push surgery when not a necessity. I am sad to learn he is leaving the hospital I attend but overall I think he is an excellent Doctor. I wish him the very best because the medical world needs Doctors like him.

Excellent care
My partner saw Dr. Dawson today for an aggravated groin muscle and we found him to be thorough, extremely knowledgeable, and very personable. He articulated what he suspected the problem might be , he provided solutions, and he listened to and adequately answered all of our questions and concerns. We would confidently recommend him to anyone.

Extremely rude and dismissive
He was rude and dismissive. He's not responsive. He has zero interest in proactively managing patients' care.

I agree completely with the previous review. Dr Dawson is extremely caring. When something shows up on a scan, he calls. When you get blood drawn for lab tests, he calls...even if all the tests are normal...just to let you know not to worry.

Dr. Dawson is a very caring doctor. One in a Million. A rare find these days. He went well beyond his job to ensure my peace of mind. I feel extremely grateful he’s my doctor.
