Patient Reviews
Oct 18, 2022
I have seen Dr. Gary Dawson several times, each time was a pleasant visit. The front staff and nurses are friendly and patient. Only once maybe twice I waited an extended time in the waiting area. Dr. Dawson is very thorough and takes his time listening to what's going on and speaks to the patient in layman's terms. Although I was skeptical about one of the diagnoses he gave me because I had never heard of it in the past, I would tell the doctors about the symptoms I had, they would treat the "main" symptom which provided a bandaid for the underlying conditions. After doing my own research, I found his diagnosis was correct. I received the proper treatment and I have been feeling good ever since. I will definitely recommend Dr. Dawson and his staff at both locations, River City Rehabilitation Center and Midtown Surgery Center where the procedures are performed.
