get to know me

I chose my specialty because...

pediatric optometry always peaked my interest in school. Once I learned I enjoyed it, I never looked back.

Dayton Children's is special because...

they make quality of patient care the highest priority.

I chose to work at Dayton Children's because...

I am excited to join a new specialty department and bring quality eye care to patients in the area.

I like working with kids because...

Kids are entertaining and challenging all in one breath. They keep me on my toes and never fail to surprise me. It's the most rewarding when they are successful!

Amber Dawson is amazing. My daughter had a TBI and I feel as tho her and Betty have went above and beyond to make sure my child got the exam and glasses she needs. They are very pleasant to be around

We love Amber Dawson. She treats my son like he is her own, and his treatment has helped so much. He had the wrong prescription of glasses through a previous Doctor, and Amber changed my son's life when she gave him the proper prescription!! We can't thank her enough. Highly recommended.

Dr. Dawson is always so good with my two-year old son! She has a warm personality and gets down on his level. She is also very knowledgeable, and you can tell how much she truly cares about her patients!
