Took the time to listen to concerns and offer education on what causes the issue not just how to fix as well as offering multiple solutions for improving my daughters vision!

When my husband and I found out my four yr old needed eye surgery we were terrified. We didn’t know if it was the right thing to do and putting that much trust into a doctor is very scary. My son is also terrified of the doctor’s office. Dr Duss is absolutely incredible, her staff in office is calm, patient and great with kids. The day of surgery the whole team did an outstanding job making my son and us, the parents comfortable. They reassured us along the way, and after we got home Dr. Duss made sure he was still doing good and personally spoke with us to call in medicine, and answer any questions even at 11 o’clock at night. She is very sharpe and hard working. I’m so glad we listened and our son is recovering great. Thank you Dr. Duss and team!

My daughter has been a patient here for 4 years. She absolutely loves coming in to see Dr. Dawn and all of the staff. They are very kind, and friendly. They also have a super serene and clean environment.

Dr. Duss is incredible and has worked wonders for our son. She's immensely talented and efficient. You always know what's going on and where your child stands in their treatment journey. She fights for sight, that's the best way to describe her methodology. She encourages her patients to be brave and strong and cheers alongside them with every victory, big or small.

Dr. Duss works great with children. She explains everything in detail and even my 5 year old could comprehend. I appreciated her care and concern upon follow up. For lack of better words, she exhibits wonderful bedside manners.

We have been very pleased with Dr. Duss from our first visit. She is extremely thorough, knowledgeable, and considerate of our concerns as parents. We first came to her office due to several strong recommendations from others who have had great experiences. We had previously visited a doctor who reported our child did not have an issue but as soon as we saw Dr. Duss, she identified the issue and knew just how to help her. Throughout our ~5 years with Dr. Duss, she and her staff have always been quick to respond and help us work through concerns and challenges with our daughter who is non-verbal and has special needs. The office staff are also notably kind and helpful! We’re very thankful to have found Dr. Duss!
