We think that Dr. Amber Dawson is an awesome doctor. She's very caring and concerned, very knowledgeable, and takes lots of time to get information from her patient as well as the parent or guardian. She's a very good fit for Children's Hospital, and we're glad that she's there. Thank you.

Dr. Dawson was kind and professional. She was efficient, but didn't rush us. Her patients are in good hands.
