Dawn immediately comes across as a warm, caring, and welcoming professional care giver. She explained my situation clearly and answered all of my questions completely and patiently, I never felt rushed with her. She was recommended to me by others and it is easy to see why. While I wish I didn’t have a medical need to see her, or anyone for that matter, she makes dealing with my difficult circumstances bearable. Thank you Dawn.

Dawn Vernon was AWESOME. She was Dawn is soo easy to talk with and explained everything in detail that we could understand. We were not rushed and felt totally at ease talking with her. Dawn practices medicine the way it should be practiced. We would have liked to given her 6 stars but that wasn’t an option.
