Consistently wait 35 to 45 to see physician for 8-10 minutes. Pretends to listen to issues but prescribes faulty solutions and doesn't understand many medical conditions outside the common cold and hypertension. Treats younger, multicultural patients with less attention than elderly white patients.

I really like Dr. Dawson, he is personable and cares. Unfortunately, he isn't aggressive in treatment. I have a number of health issues and he under treated them or ignored them altogether. The most notable, I had severe pneumonia, I have asthma and while he was concerned, I was sick for a couple of months. I finally called a Pulmonary Specialist, who after examining me suggested I find another doctor. I did. I really trusted Dr. Dawson and for a minor problem, he is probably great.
