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!

Dr. Duss performed corrective surgery on our 3 year old for strabismus. We were nervous for obvious reasons. We are so happy though we trusted Dr as it was a huge success!! It’s now like she never had any eye issues to begin with. Highly recommend this office. Thank you so much Dr!!!

The BEST!
100% satisfaction after two surgeries to correct double vision and sloped vision.

No more glasses! After 20+ years, I can now see more clearly WITHOUT thick prisms lens!

No pain from surgery. (Just a few tears from eye drops for a few weeks.)

This 68 year old feels young again!

Thank you! ❤️😀
