This list is updated annually and is subject to change without prior notice.

Patients appreciate
Dr. David Dawson receives consistently outstanding praise from patients across multiple key areas. Patients most frequently commend his exceptional communication skills, noting that he takes time to explain medical conditions and test results in clear, understandable terms that put them at ease. His interpersonal qualities are repeatedly highlighted, with patients describing him as personable, kind, caring, empathetic, and possessing a wonderful sense of humor. Patients particularly appreciate that he is an excellent listener who demonstrates genuine concern for their wellbeing, never rushes appointments, and creates a comfortable environment where they feel heard.

Patients also share
The reviews reveal minimal areas for improvement, as the overwhelming majority of feedback is highly positive with ratings consistently at or near 5.0 stars. The few reviews with slightly lower ratings (in the 4.0-4.7 range) offer limited specific criticism, with most simply stating "was good" or "satisfied" without elaborating on concerns. No recurring complaints or patterns of dissatisfaction emerge from the review set. The lack of detailed negative feedback suggests that while there may be occasional room for minor improvements, patients are not identifying significant or consistent problems with Dr. Dawson's care.
