Patient Reviews
Feb 21, 2025
Dr Dawson gave me confidence that I would actually walk again. I was new to Columbus and needed a pain management doctor and my previous doctor selected Dr. Dawson. He made his own evaluation of my situation, but surprisingly he very positively assured me that I would be able to walk again. That gave me the confidence to at least try. I have actually gotten up and walked in the short time that I have seen him. We are still working on other areas of my health and pain management but for the first time in over 30 years, I believe that I will reach my goal. He takes the time to explain everything to you so that when you leave his office, you have an understanding of what will happen and the timeframe in which it will happen. Any procedure that will take place he will explain in depth as well.
