Where do I begin to share my wonderful experience with Dr Dawson ? I had put off having hernia surgery for more than a year, not having been comfortable with a number of surgeons I met with. From my first consultation with Dr Dawson, I felt at ease, my anxieties gone, and confident in his explanation of how he would handle my procedure and in his ability to do so. Dr Dawson was assuring and walked me through every step of what I would experience and explained that performing my surgery robotically was the best way to go. There were no surprises. The morning of the surgery, he came to see me prior to my going to the OR and again, calmed my nerves and alleviated my concerns. The surgery went very well and he came to see me again to check on how I was feeling afterwards and prior to my leaving the hospital. I was home that afternoon with almost no pain. Not only did I not take any of the prescribed pain killers, I never even took as much as a Tylenol as the pain was so minimal. During the next few days, we exchanged several e mails as he looked to see how I was doing. Dr Dawson is a very caring, responsive and skilled surgeon who I would highly recommend without reservation ! Thank you Dr Dawson .

I have a been a patient of Dr Dawson's in the past and I worked with him as a surgical nurse for many years. From my direct insider experience, he is a gifted and compassionate surgeon and I would recommend him to work on me, anyone in my family, and to anyone who needs his services.
I looked up his site today because I was in the process of recommending him to a good friend. I figured while I was here, I would share my experience.

Dr. M. Shane Dawson performed a gallbladder removal and an umbilical hernia repair in late June 2019. He is a dedicated, kind, compassionate and highly skilled surgeon who truly takes the time to listen and explains everything step-by-step. This is the third surgical procedure that Dr. Dawson has performed on me over the last ten years. Dr. Dawson is an asset to the medical profession.
