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!

I am extremely pleased with our experience. My son is Autistic with severe anxiety and sensory issues and he keeps telling me he wants to go back to the eye Dr! Now that's a huge accomplishment! 10/10 experience. I also appreciate the phone call ahead of time wanting to get to know my son and his sensory issues and needs. As a mom of an autistic child it means the world to me that they took the time out to talk to me and my concerns. It was a serious relief and so appreciated.

Amber Dawson is a wonderful doctor. She corrected my son's glasses, (INAUDIBLE) vision test and she has been a huge helper to my son. His school is doing much better, his school work. He is definitely finally seeing for the first time and I really appreciate Amber Dawson for that. Thank you so much.
