Dr. Heather Rose Dawson, MD

Steer clear of this unprofessional uncaring dr. Does not return phone calls and basically doesn’t give a crap. Unorganized office. The only thing nice I have to say is her front desk girls are nice. Too bad they work for a poor excuse for a doctor

I became a patient of Dr. Dawson because my mother was a patient. And if I could go into detail on here I would of how incompetent and irresponsible and disorganized and that's the shortest list. And she says to people go home and pray when you bluntly tell her what's wrong with your body. She completely ignores you and I finally had enough of her. I ended up having numerous different surgeries after I left her practice due to the neglect from her. She shoved her religion down your throat every visit. She didn't listen to you and what was wrong at all. And this isn't the worst of her atrocities that she's committed and I think my Mother passed away due to medical neglect by her. My mom was always a frail woman and had serious health issues and had just been diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease. It's was during the height of COVID 19 and momma had had some serious health issues one of which was a broken hip. The month of December my momma had become really sick and disoriented and was having issues with eating and drinking and memory and mobility. I had moved back home to be near my kids and grandkids and made the late night call after my nieces had called me to tell me my mom had been admitted to Trident hospital. This woman informed me in No uncertain terms she was spending time with her family because the were tired from the pandemic. And she must have thought I was stupid because I knew it was her I was speaking to the whole time when she was trying to act like her receptionist, which also speaks to her deceit and arrogance. After awhile my mom went home only to return again a month later, because of her health and was supposed to be coming home when I got the heart wrenching call every one dreads my momma was gone. And because of the pandemic no autopsies were rarely being done. So, no cause of death other than COVID-19 was used and I know she didn't have COVID. She got the shot because she knew the risks were high. And I had spoken to her and she was doing better. I still say due to neglect from the start by this doctor refusing to call the hospital when asked medical information wasn't given and resulted in my mom's passing away the day before my birthday and in between her grandkids birthdays and now we have a emptiness in the family that will Never go away!! And this is just the start of the horrible journey my family has suffered from this so called doctor. And yes I spit venom at her because of what she has done to my family.And she sure doesn't deserve any stars more like angry marks.

If you want a doctor that shoves her religion in your face every appointment, becomes vindictive when you don't agree with her 100%, is unorganized with papers and junk everywhere in her exam room, cuts you off of medication(cold turkey)that a psychiatrist prescribed you (that you have been taking for at least a year), and calls you back an hour after your appointment time, then this is the doctor for you. If not, run like the wind in the other direction.

If I could leave 0 stars I would! My appointment was at 2:30. I was not called back until 4:00. I was nervously awaiting an injection since I have a fear of needles. As I was sitting there, Dr. Heather Dawson suggested that based on my looks (tattooed latino male) I should seek prayer and introduce myself to God. This was absolutely inappropriate. Her professional medical opinion should not include anything about religion. After I informed her I do not pray, She became angry and stormed out the office. Extremely unprofessional and there are consequences to such actions from a medical professional.

I feel like I'm finally ready to talk about this. This woman is an awful excuse for a human. A year ago, I gave her a one star review. But I didnt go into detail about why. I came to her because I needed to be treated for depression. I was experiencing awful symptoms and had been for years. It got to a point that I just needed help. I came to her office in a bad space and just told her about everything I was feeling. 'Why' I thought I was feeling what I was. She told me to leave my fiance, with whom I had a child. She also told me that I shouldnt be having sex with him (not her place) because it's not good in Gods eyes. Something I ignored. She prescribed me antidepressants. They worked! I came back, telling her how I felt. Then she asked "are you still with him?" "Are you still sleeping in the same bed as him?" And she got visibly upset. She started mimicking me and the way I speak about my life. Then she said "if he is good enough to lay with he is good enough to marry. You're no better than a harlot by being with him not married." Shes a complete jerk. No doctor should ever talk to a patient like this. No doctor should EVER weigh in on a patient's personal life in the way that she did. I wish I would have had the courage to say something about it then but I didnt. I was so embarrassed and I couldn't even bring myself to tell anyone. I hope this review helps someone avoid being humiliated in the way that I was. She is trash.

Dr. Dawson is always a pleasure. God fearing Dr rather than a Dr thinking they're God! Always seen within a few days of needing any follow up. Always received undivided attention with appropriate care and referals to specialists when necessary. Always prompt with test and their answers. One of the BEST!- Alton

She is very rude she does not cared if Dr. Looses patients over her attitude. Leaves rude voice messages and will not send important information to you when needed. Has also told me I wasn’t able to see the doctor one time when I was right there because they closed in an hour and a half and there was no other patients other than one more coming. Because of her I can only give a poor review and I have never given a review in my life on here until now. It was that bad of an experience just over the phone for the past few days I have been seeing this doctor for six years up until today.

I was a patient of hers for a couple of years. At first her bed side manner was very tolerable. Then she went downhill. Her staff is a joke. She refuses to listen always staring at her laptop typing away. I have numerous medical conditions which require follow ups with specialists. And she gets offended when I tell her I’ve made appointments with them. Doctors and specialists should work together and not get offended. Her office is very dirty and disorganized. I could go on but just do yourself a favor and stay away.

The day after I was out of the hosiptal went to see this Dr and told her That I had Brain Surgery at St Francis Hospital she just went off on me and told me I was not telling The truth because they don’t do that type of surgery there I thought That I losing my mind And left her office and never return. And My surgery was at St Francis!!!!

I had a pleasant experience. Waited for about 15 minutes, and had the doctor's undivided attention for what I needed assessed. Everything was handled in a professional manner, and I was pleased with the attentiveness. Her evaluation and recommendations seemed helpful, and I would come back again. Not sure about some of the bad reviews, and if it's coming from someone who can be a high maintenance. But I would give her a chance, and recommend Dr. Dawson to my family and colleagues.

The office is dirty and very unorganized. I went in for a Pap test and she didn't have the proper set-up, plus she had to take a 2nd sample after I was already dressed because her assistant used an out dated bottle. No one left the room while I redressed. The assistant held up a sheet.

You think I would let you do my pap smear at your office? ABSOLUTELY NOT!!! The office is DISGUSTING! This is after I already told you, and your staff, I had one earlier in the year. Surely, it was a joke when I opened the front door and smelled cat-like urine. I wouldn't let my bare feet touch your floors! Quit your day job!

I had my first appointment with Dr. Dawson approximately two weeks ago. I found her to be very personable, friendly and a comfort to see. She followed up with me immediately regarding test results, whereas she personally called me. I look forward to future visits.

Dr. Dawson quickly discovered I have Type II Diabetes. She gave me a long-lasting insulin injection that brought my glucose level down in fairly short order. She treats me for this condition as well as hypertension and high cholesterol. Dr. Dawson is genuinely concerned with my overall health and well being.

Dr.Dawson would not see on a scheduled appointment because there was a balance on my which was her clerk fault. She was not keeping records of my payments. But I had a copy of all my payments. Also she does not follow through on follow up treatments.

provider is ridiculous! I called and made the appt., told them needed to be seen about a bad back I was told yes could be treated there and then after waiting over an hr the dr comes in and says she can't treat that and proceeded to be absolutely rude as h***... Tapped on her little iPad with voice speech back to her and ignores everything we are trying to tell her about what's going on with health... Wouldn't return the $40 copay and you know she will bill the insurance anyways

I started with this woman approximately3yrs ago. I did not research my choice only that of word of mouth from a friend. Going to a doctor should not be a stressful thing. I never knew how her mood would be, but at every appt she lectured about her faith. I am a Christian and thats the only reason I tolerated her rants. A doctor has taken an oath to help your body, not spiritual well-being. Dr. Dawson is unkempt as a professional, gaudy make-up, too much jewlery, multicolored nail polishes. The physical appearance of this office is as frayed as she is. Instruments laying out appearing non-sterile.Improper tables for exams. I had to have a Pap smear and there were no stirrups on the table for proper exam. I felt, let's say uncomfortable. She has withheld prescriptions until you paid up, causing more stress.. I have tolerated her to long and if anyone is bipolar...it's her! I could relate much more but talking about my extreme dislike makes me nauseated. The final straw has occured and I needed refills for vital heart and BP meds. It was my intention to make an appt.but I was totally out of meds so my pharmacy called her to get ok for refills. I did not think about it again until I was told that Dr. Dawson would not reorder. I called the office as to ask why. I was told I had to come in for appt. I told the secretary that due to not having the money at this time for an appt. I needed to get my meds until I could make one. Everything went downhill from there. I have bitten my tongue so many times in the course of seeing this woman...I called her the name that rhymes with witch! She is all about money and her religious views. Other patients have voiced complaints...her staff have voiced dislike. She is rude and self-appreciating. She cannot draw blood or her assistants..The office needs cleaning and sanitizing. She is rarely on time with appts. She fired me! And did me a tremendous favor to stop procrastinating and find a competant MD, one that doesn't cause me a panic attack berfore the appt.. She deserves less than 1star, it wasn't an option!

I 've been seeing Dr. Dawson for a year now and I could not be more pleased. She spends time getting to know the whole person, not just the illness that brought you to her office. Her diagnoses have been absolutely correct. I am so glad I found this wonderful doctor.

Excellent

She was very rude and inaccurate. I had to see other doctors immediately because the medication she prescribed me most likely caused me to be in the hospital on a ventilator. The other doctors and neurologists may be wrong but it's not worth the risk to see a Doctor who is questionable.
