Your trust is our top concern.

We strive to keep reviews honest, trustworthy, and fair.

Doctors can not pay for good reviews, nor can they pay to have negative reviews removed.

We monitor all reviews to ensure they comply with our guidelines and don’t include personal information, profanity, libel, defamation, harassment, obscenity or fraud.

Any reviews that are deemed fraudulent or violate our guidelines will be removed immediately.

All reviews are confirmed and audited before publication, and community members have the ability to flag inappropriate content for further review by our team.

Dr. Dawson is cordial and always open to patient questions. He explains procedures in easily understood terms and exhibits expertise in his practice.

Awesome Physician!!
From the moment I checked in at the front desk, I was treated with the utmost care and concern. I am in a wheelchair. They were able to allow me to stay in my chair for the exam. The technician who worked with me was awesome. When Dr. Dawson came in to finalize the exam he answered all my questions. The check out staff was so professional and kind. I got my appointment scheduled for next year. All in All it was a great experience

BEST optometrist in KC!!!
Dr. Dawson has worked with me for more than five years, and he's never been anything but thorough (doesn't rush you out), compassionate (especially when I come in scared!), and extremely knowledgeable about his craft.

He’s the best
He is so personable and knowledgeable. He explains everything. He tells you about situation surrounding whatever is going on with you so you know what’s happening. He’s smart and I’m glad I changed to him.

Consistently Excellent! Simple as that.
I've been seeing Dr. Bret Dawson for many years now. As I've gotten older, my eyes have been changing, at times, quite rapidly. Bret has shepherded me through all of them with exacting attention to the details of diagnosis, adapting his suggestions as needed and making recommendations on referrals, when those were needed. But most importantly, he took the time to know me. As a Photographic Artist, eyesight is the foundational attribute within all the Art I create. I do not care so much about having vision problems in life. BUT to lose my ART? That is terrifying. He takes that seriously. Then does his utmost to dispel any anxiety I have around that with solid information and statistical analysis of the 'what & when' we need to be the most concerned about. I can not describe well enough the sense of peace I have about him being my doctor. I am in good hands. Simple as that.

Always a great experience
Dr. Dawson not only answers all my questions, but asks questions that I had not thought of about my vision. It is reassuring to be able to have complete confidence in him in something as important as my vision.
